I've come to say over the past year I have truely grown, and is continuing to grow. Let me start by saying Life can't get any compicated then it already is. It is truely a mind thing. Let me just say that you can determine your own destiny. Only YOU can choose the paths that you are willing to take. It is all about sacrafices and preparing yourself for the outcome, whatever that may be. We as people fail to look at the overall picture and this is how we end up falling into the snares that the enemies, including ourselves, have set for us. Now I know a higher power that can fix ANY situation, no matter how hard it may seem to be or how long it may seem to take. That's where patience comes in. Thru these sacrafices we learn dedication, hardship, determination, and if we're lucky, what true frienship is really about. I might don't know much but I'm wise enough to know that the higher up the ladder of Life you climb the more is required (expected) of you. So don' t be surprised! People come and people go but it's not about who enters your Life but indeed how they effect you. That's why everyone is not for everybody. You can never depend on what the situation looks like to figure out it's outcome. That's just like judging a book by it's cover. In conclusion I can truely say that I've learned that when ONE door is closed GOD opens another so don't fret if it's not the door that you were hoping to enter cause HE knows whats best for you. If only we could predict the future but if you take the time to think about it if we could Life would be boring. We would know everything before it happened and there would be no adventures, nothing to learn, and no purpose. SO remember, everything happens for a reason. Here a lilttle saying that I keep in mind when I'm in doubt.......

"What GOD has for me is for ME. Nobody can live my Life for me. If it's meant it will happen, and if not it probably was bad for me anyways. All things happen for a reason. The greatest gift that we've inherited was the gift to CHOOSE......so Choose your steps wisely, not foolishly. Be blessed."

~Yours Truely~
