When Your Burden Down With Fear

Book 147








Isaiah 41:10 - 10. Fear thou not; for i am with thee. Be not dismayed; for I am thy GOD. I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.




*The two young women in this post, will remain anonymous


I found myself in the midst of being burden down with a situation completely out of my control. I believe my family feel the same vibes as well. There is this young woman naive to the fact. She has two children she has no idea how to take care of. Babies to be exact! Soon after she had one baby, she had another already developing in the process.

What do you say to a woman who couldn't resist the fact that she laid down and got another baby before her first could turn a year old that she couldn't take care of without assistance? Here's how the story goes. She was living with her what was suppose to be her sister-in-law. She had asked if she and her crying babies stay with my family until her suppose to be sister-in-law get her lights on again, due to non payment on time. My brother-in-law (of whom I will keep anonymous) had a heart for this girl; he let her stay until her suppose to be sister-in-law get her lights turned back on.

One week and a day pass, and still no word from her suppose to be sister-in-law confirming if she got the lights back on. And from my point of view, I didn't see this girl, whose staying with us, confirming to us that her suppose to be sister-in-law confirming to her that she got the lights turned on. So what's the verdict here? I feel the girl was trying to find her way in a already crowded home with consistently crying babies. Don't get me wrong...I do have a heart for this girl, but...with a girl who has no job, no kind of future to look forward to without an ambition to consume her independence, whose dependence on all of us who already live in the home; who pay all the bills together, has to pull her weight too.

I have a problem with that, because she is totally needy, I mean really needy! Still...don't get me wrong for a person in a dire situation, but...I feel she's not trying hard enough to find her way in the world for her two babies, and it bothers me. She has become a burden on my family, I hate to say. I don't know if she's afraid to go out on her own with her babies! She states she has put in sixteen applications, and no one is calling her for an interview. I'm wondering if she's checking on each application to speed up the process.

Aggravate the people behind the applications. Do what you have too to speed up that process of getting a job at least. She doesn't do that! So what to think when everyone in my house thinks she's a burden? Because...none of us believe she's trying to find a job if she doesn't aggravate the employers, or try picking up the phone and making a phone call to check on her applications.

So what to think when someone like her is a burden on you and the family? We are all thinking of the children in the situation, and she's given so many chances to better herself. But...in so many cases pending against her, we feel she's not trying to give us that notion that she wants a job for one...and to better herself for her children and herself. She is totally a burden with fear in her heart to fail otherwise, depending on others every single day without a notion to pick up the phone and check on her applications to really get a job. Once a freeloader, always a freeloader is the vibes I'm receiving from this girl.

What's the verdict again? I feel she should return back to the woman she was living with, because I truly believe she has had the lights back on for at least almost a week ago. "At least that's what I think, I don't want to judge it.
