On other platforms, I have been contacted by men "wanting to know me better." While I'm not opposed to friendships, I'm not looking for romance at this time and I would prefer doing the "getting to know you better" part in person. I honestly don't trust any platforms for finding someone even if I were looking which I'm not. I was married to a wonderful man for 35 years before he died in January of this year. I'm not ready to start building a relationship with anyone right now. I have a lot on my plate with my mom who has health issues and taking care of my son who has special needs. I'm in a place in my life that I'm trying to draw closer to God while also juggling my daily responsibilities that I now have to do without my husband. I also have my own health problems. Please do not feel slighted if I don't answer those "get to know you" messages. I've dealt with too much of that on other social media and that why I signed up for this platform. With that said, I'd like to add that God has been so good to me. This is quite the bumpy journey, but not once in my lowest point have I ever not felt His presence and His comfort. I get emotionally overwhelmed everytime I think of His mercies and all that He's done for me. The mere fact that He gave His only Son to die in our stead is heart wrenchingly beautiful and humbles me to the core. I am nothing without Him. He is my strength, my hope, my everything.
