Dang, we're in a tight spot! The evil empire, DHS [cue music] (who up until this time I, surprisingly, had taken little issue with), will most likely cut many of the hours I receive for caretakers. My mom and I have a very God-centered, year-long plan in place and I don't know how this impending setback will affect that plan.

Proverbs 16:9 "The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps." Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all of your heart and do not lean on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight." I know God is in control.

I personally do not do well when a situation is uncontrollable, so I have been initially angered by the news of potential cutbacks. I will find out soon exactly what changes will be made, and I know there is an appeals process...
