I CAN"T believe it but 2016 is almost over and I've learned sooooooooooo much!!!! The first being that I can actually stay awake for 48 hours conducting business, I need a new keyboard for my laptop, God redeems the time we lose if we trust that he can, I'm worth more than I strive for, I think and dream MUCH smaller than I should, My faith and Trust in God has grown so much in the last year to the point that it shocks me and the people around me. I'm more patient and loving than I've ever been in the history of my existence, LOL, I've realized how important my mommy is to me, french fries are on my list of AMAZING inventions.....except if you belong to the sweet potato family....you should NOT be fried, opportunities are for everyone if you can just believe, and my skin color is a BEAUTIFUL addition to who I am, not all that I am, and most importantly 2017 is OUR YEAR OF VICTORY, so cast out your nets!!!!

Ive built a life on HOPE and EXPECTATIONS, expecting to fly in all situations regardless of the time of day or its deliberations I'm still here.  If fear is whats stopped me from flying, then FAITH is what keeps my from denying that YOUR LOVE NEVER FAILS! The one thing consistent in life is change, no longer resistant to your ultimate change, unchained, unbound, unwound and REDEFINED, I'm your MASTERPIECE unhindered by time, unwilling to move backward or rewind........I AM HERE, leaving 2015 and entering into the NEW YEAR!

It's beginning to look a lot like CHRISTmas, even though the tree behind me is bordered up doesn't mean that my anticipation has to follow, because its the smell in the air that keeps reminding me that the time is almost HERE!  LIFE and TIME I DO NOT OWN, but with all of the dreams in my heart's overflow I.... AM..... EXPECTING!  Its the nine months of conception since birth that has paved the way to right now, no matter of when or how life is DESTINED for me, prostrate or bended on one knee "your with me always", so with this ring I THEE WED the assurance of being greater than the past, and with the NEW YEAR approaching I tip my glass, to all that awaits ME!!!
