My life is falling apart, and I'm scared.

I'm forty-five years old, and I'm single. I'm living with my mom, who is eighty-two, so that I can take care of her. Last year, to supplement my income, I started a home business with Tastefully Simple. My dream, however, is to be a successful science fiction author. I've been writing and self publishing for years, and my books have been selling, slowly. The problem is, about a year ago, my mom got ovarian cancer, and I needed to take off work to take care of her. Thanks be to God, the cancer was self contained, and was completely removed, with no further treatment needed. But she has other health problems. Well, I quit my job and have been relying on my home based business to make ends meet. But between the medical bills and regular monthly bills, plus the slowness in business, making ends meet will be nearly impossible this month, unless by some miracle, my business takes off, or my books suddenly start selling. And to make matters worse, if I don't have at least another 238 dollars in sales by the end of the month, Tastefully Simple will revoke my business. HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP! I need prayers! (And clients.)

Wow, what a hard life you have. i hope you achieve your target. It difficult right. when I'm telling people about my problem, the thing that the thing that they always say is that something happen to you because the higher power knows that you can face it, so that's why you faced whatever you face. Don't give up and always beleive you will achieve whatever you wish for. Just move and think good and positively. I wish you the best.

To everyone replying to my self-pity party, thanks. I should learn that God has a plan, and I'm in His tender care, and stop feeling sorry for myself. Things are looking brighter now, and I thank Him for all of you, as well as His Grace to continue. and I thank all of you as well.
