Understanding Misconception

When you read the title what did you think? Maybe the common Mormon one, That we have a plethora of wives? Well it isn't even along those lines. Today I am writing about the common misconception of people on assistance and disabled.  I am both and by looking at me you can not tell. By the time I am well enough to go out in public I had rested for days to get to that point.

About 5 Years ago my wife and I made a decision, That she would go to school and get a degree that will provide for us a good comfortable life. She went back to school starting from scratch, She decided on a career that will do that, A Nurse. Plain and simple we would need government so we applied for Food stamps and medicaid. Those were the only ones we felt we would need. The rest assistance would come from our church and family. That is all the assistance we have been on since I have got sick.

Now the misconception is that "if you are on assistance you are LAZY" I am not, I started to work when I was old enough to hold a broom. I worked as much as I could. whether going to school and working. I did not ask for the health problems I have, nor do I wish them on anyone. This is my rocks to bear with the Lord Jesus Christ helping me. Our little family is almost done with our plan. My wife is almost done with school, May 2015 she will be done and ready to enter the workforce. 

We will be off of assistance. So next time you want to post a remark about someone on assistance think about what you are doing. The people that get the most news are those abusing the system, But not everyone is that way.
So before you post please think. I am not the only one going through this, my sister and her husband are just starting to begin their journey. There is always hope as to return to the workforce, but when you need the help it is there. I love you sister. Please keep your heart to the glory of God and you will be able to hold your head high. Love you
