My preacher keeps telling us (as a congregation within his sermons somehow gets worked in) to take things to God and I know I should.  I also have a hard time letting go and at least acknowledging that I need counseling.  Time constraints with two young children and my husband being out of work, but doing odd jobs and looking for work keeps me from paying someone to watch the kids so I can get counseling.  The folks closest to us don’t think we have a need and his folks want to know too much.  Hiring a sitter is extra hard because our daughter is on a special diet to control her autistic behavior.  I feel comfortable going to our pastor, but he has a great deal on his plate as well.  His wife hasn’t been completely well for some time now and their youngest child has developed cancer and is fighting for life now.  They have one son who has been questionable and no one seems to know how he is doing.  Their oldest son is well, but has family issues at this time.  I know my problem is very petty in comparison to theirs and many many others.  I just seem to be at a stumbling block and can’t move forward to really know what is bothering me.  

Thanks for the welcome.
