Now I must wait for him to distribute the assets. And wait, and wait, and wait. I must restrain myself from spending the money I don't have yet.

I must be a good steward.
God, give me the wisdom to be prudent with how I spend or invest the money. Please, God, give me wisdom, and lead me to wise and ethical advisors.
I don't want to be like the prodigal son who spent all his money on wine, women, and song. But I am going to give myself a special treat if I don't get that job I interviewed for.
I must remember that shiny objects don't bring happiness.
I do have a pile of medical bills to pay off: a lot because these days every little single part of your body requires its own medical specialist. Plus I had surgery earlier this year.

The male doctors' offices and the Catholic hospital (male administrators) send bill collectors after me. They do not acknowledge the monetary stress of unemployment or the reality that unemployment means I am not earning an income. They send me letters threatening to fire me as a patient. They charge me extra if my insurance doesn't cover a procedure.
Guess which doctors I will be paying off first? Yep, the female doctors for their understanding, their patience, their belief in me that someday I WILL be able to pay my entire bill. And I will send these doctors a little note of appreciation with my payment because I really, truly appreciate them.

I agree with your payment of the female doctors first - they are kind to you and you are kind in return. Perhaps a note in the male doctors' collection envelope (with no payment) would be a clear message to them to be nicer!!!
Prayers for you as you patiently wait for your money. It will feel so good to make those final payments!
