I have a problem. It's been a long time now, but some years ago I made promise to God, one that I seem forced to break. After having five near fatal car accidents in a 3 month period, and immediatly after the 5th one, I asked God to lend me the strength to get home one last time, and I would never drive again, not unless it was a matter of life and death. I've stuck to my word, despite pressure from friends and family to take up the wheel again, that it was just a fluke, etc. Now, I have recently found a new job after being unemployed for some months. I live with my retired mother, ad she has been good enough to give me a ride to work and pick me up. The arrangement seemed fine. However, my mom has become sick from doing too much, the direct cause being driving me to work. Long story made short, she is retired and can't do much without irritating her arm, which has no protection from diseases due to cancer and surgeries. As she is now, the iritation caused by the driving will have her lain up for days at best, and it could be fatal at it's worse. I'm worried sick over her, and the guilt is driving me up the wall. I called in last night, and am due back for the third shift tonight. If I miss work again, I'm sure to be terminated, but there is no way to get there unless I drive. This job has made me very unpopular with my friends, and threatens to leave me without health insurance (i was on free health care which is in danger of being revorked since i have a job, which does not give health benefits) threatens my mother's health, and now requires me to drive, the one thing I swore I would never do again. I don't know if this is God's way of telling me to lsoe this job, or his way of getting me to drive again, since it could be said it is threatening my mother's life by driving me. I just don't know what to do.
