The expectations of perfection I had set for myself, was unattainable. As a result, I tried to please fellow Christians instead of the Lord. Of course, this was impossible. By the time I entered college, I had lost my love of attending church.
Marrying the first man who showed an interest against the Lord’s will and advice of my father, was the biggest mistake of my life.
I obtained an accounting degree by attending night school, worked long hours, paid off my home, credit cards and eventually owned two accounting firms.
The following years were a story of the Lord’s faithfulness throughout, including the great struggle to support my children, though I wasn’t faithful to Him, He was faithful to me. I had enjoyed the Lord’s blessing and it was time to give some back. I now had more than I needed to retire.view less
