> Hello!
> My name is Anita.  This is my second time joining this list.  Some of you 
> may remember me from several years back.
>
> Since then I have changed zip codes.  Almost two years ago I moved from 
> Alabama where I was boffn to Virginia.  It was time for me to leave behind 
> my past and build something new.
>
> I have faced challenges that I couldn't have overcome without God's love. 
> After all, besides the two children that have claimed me as their Naina, 
> their mother and my fiancee, I don't know very many people.  But I believe 
> all that is going to change.
>
> I just wanted to share a little bit about myself on this list.  I don't 
> have a problem making friends but I haven't been a lot of places to do 
> that.
>
> One of the things I think is sad is that there is usually no more than one 
> person that is blind in the churches I've visited.  Most of the time I am 
> the first blind person to walk through their doors.  For years I was the 
> only member in my family church that was blind.  But, I digress.
>
> I am requesting prayer because I have finally found what I believe is 
> going to be a blessing for me as well as for other blind people.  And I 
> must admit that I regret I had not realized this before now.  By now, my 
> business could have been thriving and I might not have felt so defeated 
> because things always came to a halt.  I atended 2 colleges but do not 
> have a degree from either.  The lack of braille materials hurt me a great 
> deal although I didn't know that until recently.  As far as the jobs I 
> couldn't hold onto, I believe those probably weren't in God's plan for me. 
> I was just trying to find myself.  Nevertheless, I consider each 
> experience to be stepping stones I had to climb to get where I am now.
>
> Please pray with me for success in getting my business up and running 
> smooth.  I am enrolled in the Braille Literacy course and I would like to 
> become certified as a transcriber using that to start a business.
>
> Having access to braille is vital to the success of blind children and 
> adults.  This is my way of joining the fight to save braille.
>
> I feel a little fearful because 50 is knocking at my door.  Most of my 
> peers have 25 to 30 years advance on me.  I am truly inspired by the 
> stories of other successful blind people.  It has taken me too long--I 
> think' to get to this point.
>
> In The Book of Jeremiah chapter 29 verse 11, the Bible says:
>  For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts 
> of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
> I believe that and it is the reason why I am excited about all of the 
> possibilites that are ahead.
>
> So I am asking for your prayers and I pray that I will be able to meet 
> some of you outside of cyberspace.
>
> Have a blessed night.
>
