I'm so thankful to my Saviour that at 71 years old, I'm still living on my own and pretty much self sufficient. For nearly 15 years now, I've managed with HIS help to continue gardening, taking care of my animals, mowing my yard myself, doing everything on my own. It hasn't always been easy with all my health issues. But my favorite bible verse is Philippians 4:13, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. When things get difficult I quote that scripture.
I never thought I would like being alone, but after abusive marriages and being abused as a child, I have found peace for the first time in my life, and I won't give that up for anyone else. It took years for me to get here. To know God and have Him in your heart is so peaceful.
He is my best friend, my provider, my healer, my comforter. I can't thank Him enough for all he has done for me. If you don't personally know Him you are truly missing out on the best friend you can find.
