1 Timothy 6:6-8

I'm getting there, by Gods' grace. He has provided more for me than most people who lived/existed the way I did, before Jesus saved me, end up having. I live with my kind, generous parents. I receive disability for my mental problems. I am --now-- healthy, smart enough for my goals, etc.

And yet, I do want...something. I don't know what, LOL. I do not think anyone around here will hire me. That is what it is. Happens. Once you're labeled "Schizophrenic" in this kind of community...good luck, basically. The disability is obviously a huge blessing, both for my family and for me.

To be honest, I don't want to be a "mental patient" indefinitely. Some of it is pride and lingering self-love. Some of it...well, I don't want to deal with Mental Health, Inc. more than I have to, honestly. I had some horrible experiences back in the day. Now, I'm treated much better, but...somehow, I'd like to be able to bring in my own income

I just...don't know. Learning to trust God, be content, etc...its a process, obviously. I also pray for God's perfect will for my life, whatever that may be. Thanks. :)
 
Weren't you taking college classes at one time? What ever happened with that? Never let your disability stop you from trying to find a job in your own community that you know you are capable of doing. God will make a way where there seems to be no way, but it's up to you to pursue the employment field. Prayer is a powerful tool, but lost to fools. :pray
