Keep putting one foot in front of the other
Life has been, shall we say, rough sense new years eve. I have been living with an elderly lady in Salt Lake sense November and it's been rough. She's negative, constantly complaining about everything and getting frustrated with everything because she can't do everything she use to be able to do. I get that and I can see how it's easier to be that way. I have tried to be positive and help her see the good in thing and see what thing's she still can do. Just before Christmas I was starting to have a hard time with how she has been towards me. I started feeling like I'm being smothered. New years eve I came home to a note on the door from her son saying that he's got some concerns but didn't tell me what they were. To this day he's not said anything to me. She told me that I'm never home and always over at my friends, which is so a lie because I don't have many friends and have probably been gone a handful of times other then work and church sense I moved in. She's really starting to forget more. I told her that I'm home more then she remembers. I told her that if she wanted me to be around her more she has be start being more positive. Being around negative people is really hard on me because of how negative I use to be and it drags me down so fast and I don't like what it does to me. Lately she'd been telling me that I need to eat more because I never eat. I get frustrated because when I don't want to eat I'm not going to and she doesn't understand that even though I've told her that several times. When I get stressed or upset I often stop eating as much. This last Friday, she went to the Dr's and is having a lot of health problems. So I was told that if I can't be at home every morning and every night to help her out I need to move out. So I have to move out because I don't want to give up my social life. I lost it and had a melt down. I have been stressed out enough already that I didn't need this. I had no clue what I was going to do or where I was going to live. Saturday I went to the temple in hopes to receive some answers. The only thing I got was that I needed to delete Facebook off of my phone because its taking up too much of my time. I didn't know how that was going to help my situation but when I got home I did it I decided to read a devotional mom sent to me. In it, it talks about when Nephi was bound with cords by his brother and how he prayed not to have the Lord change his circumstances but for the Lord to give him the strength to change his circumstances himself. That really hit me because I have been just wanting the Lord to make thing's better. I realized that I need to start praying for strength to change thing's in my life. So now the problem is where do I live? I'm not making enough money at work to rent anything. I have a storage unit and don't want to be renting a room and paying for my storage so I'd rather get an apartment and furnish it and have roommates, then move in with someone that's already got it furnished. So if that's the case I would need to get a different job that I'd make more money at. I have the thought a couple of times to just move back home. In talking with some people I fell like if that's what I do their going to just think I'm taking the easy way out and not sticking this out. I haven't felt one way or the other if that's what I should do. Earlier today I was looking for jobs and updating my resume and just felt a little uneasy. Then tonight I have felt so uneasy about something that something's not right. I don't know what it is but I'm feeling sick because of it. I don't like this feeling because I feel sick for one and because I feel lost and alone. I know that the Lord will take care of me because He has thus far but I don't know how long it'll take for me to figure it out. All I know is I have to figure it out soon because who knows when I'm going to be told that I have to leave cause they found someone else. Fasting a prayer along with going to the temple is what I'm going to be doing and keep putting one foot in front of the other.
