Unlimited good for my family

Esline Adhiambo

SIX YEARS AGO, my husband abandoned me after some domestic disputes. He left me with four kids. As a single parent with no proper means of income, I found life difficult. I was uncertain and fearful as I thought of how I could feed the children and care for their health and their future.

I decided to go far away from Nairobi, where we had been staying, to a rural village, where I could live cheaply with my children.

As a self-employed tailor, I started repairing clothes in a small market center, but I could not find enough customers. However, I had been attending the Christian Science church in Nairobi and had learned how to rely radically on God during hard circumstances. I trusted that God was omnipotent and my refuge. No other power could help me except His. His love for each of us is unchanging.
