" My Supports"
Bishop Rosa L. Williams
My Pastor
This is the person that gives me my greatest emotional support. She supports me by preaching and teaching me God's Word through the Bible. She also supports me by counseling me. She has supported me through the most difficult times of my life, such as the death of my father and my stepfather within 2 months of each other. She has also supported me through the sickness of my mother, Praise God that she is well now! I could not have gotten through those dark days without her reminding me that God said He was near to those that were of a broken heart, that He would never leave me or forsake me and He is a healer.
The Holy Bible
This is my greatest practical support. I use the words that are written in this book to help me make major decisions in my life. When I am perplexed and don't know what to do about situations and choices I seek this book for answers. It makes my final decision clear. I could not imagine not having this book for direction. I would be lost and confused.
My Car
This is my greatest physical support. I live in the town of Augusta Georgia and it is a must that a resident have a car. We do have a bus system, but it begins at 7am and ends at 7pm and it does not operate on Sundays. Our Transit system does not operate throughout the town. If I did not have a car. I could not do those absolute things such as go to work. Just the thought of not having this physical support is very frightening.
A Specific Challenge I Do Not Have
No Eyesight
The emotional support I would want would be for my family to encourage me to know that I am still apart of the world, although I don't physically see it. I would want them to help me not to be depressed by describing to me all the beautiful things around me. Practically I would want my environment to provide access and participation for a person with no sight through the use of braille. Physically I would want a seeing eye dog and a cane to help guide me through my day to day life along with audio assistance.
