It's not often that I ask people to pray for myself. However, here I am.

I have not strayed from God but I am struggling with impatience.  In April
it will be two years since I returned back to vocational rehab requesting to
attend a training center. I am still stuck in this process. I am tired of
not having a job. With no kids, I have nothing to talk to others about. This
leads to isolation. This is the first time I have gone without either a
volunteer job or a paid position.   I know that I will never get one without
center training. God has revealed that to me. I know God works in his own
time but I need patience to endure this trial especially since I hear every
day how my boyfriend is flourishing at Blind Inc. and he had more skills
than I do going in there. I am fighting the low vision/no vision battle with
vocational rehab. as they still cling to the idea that if you have any
vision you must act sighted with magnifying devices. Years of this just
caused scoliosis.  They do not understand this.  With new staff, they seem
to not believe you when you say you know already what doesn't work. They
want to send you to a little vision specialist even though you have been in
the system forever. I am grateful for the WI NFB members that are helping me
through this--Jeremiah Beasley, David Hyde, and our president of John Fritz.


Please keep me in prayer. Every day is very long and the fear of traveling
alone keeps me indoors most of the time unless I have a ride. There's more
that cannot be said because nobody would read this. It would be too long!
Thank you everyone.
