Firstly have complete faith in God. He is there to help u nd take cre of u. And as u mentioned u are in need of 9000 dollars and that ur friends in need of a job. So have are all of u working towards ur goal. Keep trying, when the rite time comes ur wishes wil be fulfilled. Actually jus speak to God abt ur wishes and then place it in His hands, leav it to Him, He'l do what is best for u and ur friends. As for ur sister, she probably is suffering from emotional stress n that is why she is drinking so much. I would suggest you should take her to a good psychologist to get her rid of this stress and also take her regularly to the church. ANd i'm sure u'l c the difference. Think positive, pray and stop worrying. Give all ur worries to God. He can handle them better than u.
