I’ve been visiting a 90 year old lady that lives near me. When I first met her she was new to the area and very lonely. She’s originally from Spain and raised as Catholic. She has a wonderful strong Spanish accent. She wanted things to read so I brought her the Heavenly Man and a few other Missionary autobiographies. She read them and seemed impressed by them. She did say she didn’t believe in the inerrancy of the Bible so I brought her one on that but she hasn’t read it. Finally yesterday I asked what she thought of the books I’ve given her and she said she didn’t believe they were true. She thinks the authors didn’t tell the truth about their lives. We talked some and I found that she thinks that my relationship with God is a mistake of belief if that makes sense! From what I understand she thinks you can’t have a personal relationship with God.Her name is Carmen I’d appreciate if you would pray for her.
There is so much grief in my heart. I am grieving the loss of my stepdad. I am grieving for what my mother is currently going through. All I want is to take her home and make a home for her.
I spent the past 4 days and nights with her at the care home, holding her as she grieved at night. I’ve an inside view now, and I don’t want her there. I sill believe she needs to be with family.
She is also starting to wonder if God has abandoned her, she’s lost her husband, dogs, and home all at once.
Please pray for a miracle, that God makes a way for her to be with me. She needs to be with family that loves her. I don’t want the hardest time of her life, at 80 years of age, to be compounded by her being in a carehome. Needing some miracles from God and a path forward.
Also please pray for protection from Covid, a nurse there just came down with Covid, don’t want the facility to be locked down to where she can’t see me, or for her to get Covid and they stop me from seeing her 😭💔
Thanks so much for all of your prayers, yesterday was my first day off since July 17. Am emotionally, physically and mentally exhausted.
Parents still at the hospital, both have been diagnosed with severe dementia. Staff there are helping me to try to get them placed in a care home, some difficulties there.
I have been trying to work, be there for them and their two dogs on weekends, trying to find a place to live closer to them that I can afford.
I am strapped financially, and it’s 2.5 hours of driving one way to go see them and their dogs.
My lease ends Sept 16. Due to exhaustion & financial limitations, am considering possibly moving to be with sister in another state for a time to try to recover, but that would mean leaving them at the care home for a period of time, without me being nearby.
If the answer is to move nearer to parents as they transition, I need a real miracle from God. Please pray for me for wisdom and guidance, that I feel and hear His heart in all of this.
