My greatest asset is life and the school of hard knocks. I experienced many heartaches and bad choices throughout this journey. I experienced things that were almost unbelievable. I’m not talking about great things that other people would envy and say “I wish that had of been me”; instead they were saying “I’m glad that wasn’t me”. All those experiences made me who I am today. I didn’t know it then; but God was preparing me for what is yet to come. NO, life’s lessons aren’t over, because GOD is not finished with me yet.
