I am the single father of two sons. They are 8 and 7 years old. We have been on our own since they were 5 and 3. We KNOW the hand of God in our lives because, without Him, we would never have made it - or be making it. Help comes in diverse forms, but it's all Him. We have no relatives, anywhere. I have no problem, and feel no shame, in saying that I am lonely. Often, more than lonely. I crave fellowship with anyone that wants to talk about anything to do with Him. There are an abundance of factors that complicate our lives than those I've shared, but introductions are not the time to share them. Suffice it to say that, we do not have the usual options available to us that others do. We make each day by His express grace, nothing else. I have vast and extensive experience in this life, also beyond any norm, and may be able to be of some assistance to someone else. Bye. 
It's great that you could join us. I pray that you find everything and more that you are searching for, and trust in the Lord that you will. May God bless you! I look forward to seeing your posts in the future.
