>> 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.
