Actually, I don't have a sense of needing anything. I've learned by now to be quite content whatever my circumstances.
I'm just as happy with little as with much, with much as with little, I've found the recipe for being happy whether full or hungry hands full or empty. Whatever I have, wherever I am, I can make it through anything in the One who makes me who I am.
