In our extremely troubling world, my little concerns and needs seem petty. There are many with challenging situations I would consider so much worse than mine. However I believe God cares about every individual including me. I believe that my needs and concerns are not frivolous to him because I am his dear one. I also know that in his grace, mercy and love he has provided people who love and support me and will pray for my needs. Some of you are so faithful to pray for us - praying more faithfully for us than I am.. And certainly more than I pray for others. I am always in awe of such people . For those people I am extremely grateful and I share this little update.
Peter mentally seems to be stable - his best in the past year. He actually was available for a phone appointment with his doctor yesterday without my having to be at the house to make it happen. That is progress. He has some hard things to deal with and yet seems to be handling them with reason and acceptance. Again for that I am grateful.
Peter's driving has been aggressive at best and he has been warned for 4 years. After several speeding tickets and wrecks, he is at the place of basically being uninsurable. It has come to his needing to trade his drivers license for an ID, surrender his car tags, and find a buyer for his car. This needs to happen this week as it having an impact on my car insurance because he lives in my house. He seemed willing yesterday but praying he will do the follow through needed without a struggle.
Peter currently has an offer to work at a Race Track gas station however its location will be somewhat costly with using Lyft to get there. Yesterday he was contacted by the Hospital (walking distance from our house) for a dishwasher job. Though not glamorous he wants this job because it removes the transportation issue. Peter has a phone interview for this job on Monday afternoon.
Peter switched health insurance Jan 1st. The notice that I received yesterday for Peter's prescription indicated it was going to cost $250. At the most we had paid $30 for this important medication. So added to my to do list is to help him navigate this so we can get his medication into an affordable range.
Peter needs people (so I believe.) And of course I long for those people to speak truth and show kindness. This week two people I know from my church helped Peter. One to discuss Peter's career interest and the other to help with a dead battery on his car. I am extremely grateful for these people. It encouraged my mama heart that longs for my son to experience a loving and caring community, as I have so experienced.
