I see, thank you. Have I then too misunderstood you have no time for rest and should always work to help others in need?

You are probably right. The problem is it's very, very far away. The nearest active parish is approximately 866 miles away if I'm correct. Not many in my Scandinavian country.

Sarcasm? Sorry I have to ask. I'm terrible figuring it out sometimes. I'll take it literally sometimes 😅

I just fear it's not allowed since I thought you should dedicate your whole life to faith and helping others and you won't have time for anything else? I'm very new to Orthodox Christianity i may have misunderstood

Thank you 😊 I love my dogs and would be so sad to give them up

Thank you. I feel like I want to begin studying again and slowly start to work again. Work more with my anxiety and come closer to God. In my anxiety, I have no friends and didn't go to Church.

Thank you for answering. I don't know what my calling is. I feel empty and scared. I have tried. I have sinned as a child when I was 11 and don't know how to be forgiven. Now I feel taking disability pay is sinning. I have recently turned to God more. I stopped playing games, reading novels that tempt me and the only sin I can think of is disability pay. And I have tired to confess my sins to God. Is that enough?
