Wow Victoria. You have really experienced so much in your life. I can't even imagine living like that. You are a very courageous woman! And you have a beautiful soul, and beautiful on the outside too. I don't know where I'm going with this except to just let you know that you are very much appreciated. 
God bless.
God bless.
Thankyou.Appreciate you also.
It was a experience indeed.
I always have loved nature and country but this was in rainforest area past Tyalgum Australia and although beautiful nature.
Had kookaburras laugh and live with me, redbellyblacksnakes in veggipatch, brownsnake , python (had eaten some rats though saw its stomach which was good ), crickets were at times sooo loud (really), many rats and they were fearless and took over the home to much for my likings .Lifted a blancet and 5 rats jumped out (I screached a bit then
)Was funny when the toads came in bed (cant beleive that happened...) It was pouring rain and no electricity so I slept with a candle lit.As there were holes in the "house" (that wasnt finished really) the wind blew straight in and also open for most to enter.
I felt something on my face and went aaa and looked , shocked to see a toad.I sat in bed as I watched it jump away.The weather outside was mad.
Had a bout 4 or 3 toads atleast in bed with me that night (must of been the weather)
One of them I had fallen back to sleep and my arm automaticly moved so the toad flew across room and past the lit candle and got burnt and screamed (never heard a toad scream b4).
Was a lot of lawn to mow.
Was gorgeous trees though (fell in love with them)
Oh, so many leeches.One always covered in them.
No communications (no phones worked there) and was a 15 min drive to tyalgum village and didnt get a nice treatment from the villagers who behaved belittling to me etc (maybe rumours spread by a man I socialised with a while) (that were not true)
It was incredibly un hygenic.
Due to rats, etc... toiletting and washing facilities....
My Mother was horrified when she saw how I had been living all by my self.
When she came to visit me she helped me move along with my other Mother as they will me good and care for me.
An experience.....

No, but I will be patient, God is not finished with me yet.
In order to be ready for marriage, God must give the OK. I am not married yet therefore I am not 'OK'

Totally agreed. I don't think I would be able to stand myself, hehehe. I've been having a close relationship with myself for so long that I just want something different
There are some interesting answers here.
I'm going to offer a different spin on this...
Sure I would. I mean that's assurance of same beliefs, values, interests, etc. etc. It would be very easy to be understanding and forgiving of all the faults too since I'm used to living with them daily. Really, if you wait until you're "perfect" you're never going to get anywhere.
Do some of you really think you're going to get to a point where you say "Okay, I'm good enough now. I'm ready. etc. etc." ? I know I'm not perfect and I'll never be. I wouldn't expect someone else to be perfect either. I would expect them to try to grow daily though. That's my goal.
What if you miss an opportunity with someone great before you feel like you get to that point of being "good enough" or ready? I don't think finding the right person works on our schedule at all.

I think a person should be required to know what love really means and prepared to commit for life before they're married. Beyond that, I can't think of anything. Life is messy now and always will be. Life is forever changing. People are always changing. True love, the kind of love we can only give and receive thanks to God, is never going to change.

Well... this is a great question. And recently I was looking introspectively (yes, I know, big word.) and there are a lot of things that are good about me and I see that my flaws are there, yet less numerous each year. I have yet to see more flaws I'm sure. My biggest one though is perfectionism. I really need to understand the love side of the love and truth balance. And I could use more initiative, but it's much much better than it used to be 2 years ago. Something I'm strong in is knowledge of God's word and zeal and sincerity of love with a steadfast searching heart for the Spirit of Truth.
