I Have Faith

I am currently in a situation right now that is kicking me in the butt. I lost my job (or should say fired for sake of honesty) and I am having all kinds of issues with pain in my left hand and knees. I am doing physical therapy right now and I filed for disability. There is only so much I can do right now and my knees are in constant pain. I am thinking it is arthritis. I played a lot of football when I was younger. However, I am going to be moving in with a friend who runs a ministry house for brothers in Christ. The rules are pretty transparent but my full time when I get there will be to find a full time job. My body hurts really bad and I may not get a reply from disability until possible June or July. My church is helping me but I am keeping the faith but it's tough.

Anyone have any feedback on how they would proceed with this dilemma?

I don't know where your skills lie but, if your wheels are hurting, you might take a look at jobs you can do from home. That's where a lot of the work force is heading.
A very fast growing industry, that doesn't require a lot to get started, is a call center rep. Some of them get paid pretty well and, depending on where you live, could provide some stability. A lot of companies are bringing their reps back from overseas. But there's all kind of industries that are moving their workforce online because it's less expensive. A good friend went to school at night while she was working to become a medical coder. A couple of years later and she's making about $80K.
Good luck.

Sounds like you are in a good place to receive spiritual support and encouragement. The Lord has given you a place, just trust, obey, and follow Him.

Proverbs 3:5,6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.

Thank you for the response. I tend to the read the psalms a bit more but I think I will look into proverbs!
