Hi luvmycat!
I'm also new and believe me in just the hour or two I have been here I have felt the presence in God in every single person here. Everyone here has the best outlook on the Lord and I think if you should be anywhere, it's here. These people are simply amazing!
We are almost neighbors, I live in Georgia!
I will pray for you and the tough times you are going through but if you keep your head up high and keep your faith in the Lord near to your heart, things will only get better because with HIM anything is possible!
God Bless
Alicia
