I am fully disabled with medical problems that are very difficult to deal with sometimes. I have been working part time to supplement my small social security disability check. I only work 10 hours a week and even though it is a small number of hours equaling a small amount of extra money, that small paycheck is very helpful.
Today my car has started acting up. My battery light indicator light is coming on. Because my battery is fairly new, I think it's the alternator. It is parked in a parking lot where it quit running. My sister and I will go tomorrow and get it to my apt.
There is no way that I can afford mechanic bills right now. I usually have the car worked on at income tax refund time. Unfortunately, that is several months away.
There have been days that due to my health I've barely been able to go into work, but I go in with a smile and get the job done.
I might have to quit the job (that I love) soon, but maybe this car trouble is a blessing in disguise because like I said, my health has been making it hard to go to work sometimes lately and it would take a lot for me to quit this job. My car breaking down would be a reason.
I'm not even sure what to pray for. I see no way of fixing my car and no way of my health getting any better.
I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS) It is a mutation of the collagen gene. It basically means that instead of my connective tissue being like a rubber band, it's like bubble gum. Besides, my joints subluxing often (partially going out of joint) this effects every system in my body: digestive, heart and major organs. Needless to say, I feel like crud often.
In both cases (the car and my health) I really don't know what to pray for, other than strength to endure.
Unless something happens that I can't foresee, my life is going to change drastically soon. I will no longer be working at all, and until tax time, I'll be without a car. I live in a small city so I can take a bus to the store and Dr. appointments. They don't go to the next town in which I work though.
I've gone over my finances, and I can afford my rent and bills with 60.00 left over after, if I quit working. That doesn't give me much flex money for needs. Kitty food and litter will come out of that 60.00 too.
I might try to find some sort of online job but think those aren't easy to get. I don't know.
I don't even have internet in my apartment. My internet bill kept going up, so I dropped them. In this apt building we an internet lounge and that's how I have been keeping this forum running. I live bare bones.
So please pray with me for God to somehow help me with all of this.
