Default Need prayers for making a tough choice

I have MS, and the fatigue is getting to me. I've been trying to decide what's really important to me and have been praying for guidance.

I'm in a job I like with a very supportive boss. She has bent over backwards to accomedate me. But lately I've been noticing some serious mistakes on my part. We are very customer driven, being an insurance agency, so these mistakes can be costly.

Also my home is a mess. My hubby is supportive and tries to do what he can, but the disorganization is getting to me.

Please help me pray to find out what He would like me to do. Should I keep working or should I concentrate on home while I still can? Or for patience and wisdom to know when work has become too much and for strength to keep on trucking until that time comes.

Thank you for any prayers regarding this.

Consider it an ongoing effort, Fin. The choice was hard for me when my time came, but I felt led to my decision and have never regretted my choice. Yours will come but maybe, "not in our timing".

If you decide to slow down, what about cutting your hrs at work??
Would that be an option?

I'm dealing with the same exact thing right now. I also work in an insurance agency and my boss is very supportive. I can't say enough about what he has done.

I thinking of you.

Praying that He will lead you in making your choice and you will find comfort in your decision.
