“In my deepest, darkest moments, what really got me through was a prayer. Sometimes my prayer was ‘Help me.’ Sometimes a prayer was ‘Thank you.’ What I’ve discovered is that intimate connection and communication with my creator will always get me through because I know my support, my help, is just a prayer away.”
""The way to achieve your own success is to be willing to help somebody else get it first.""

Humans cannot seem to wait for or honor the truth. Instead, we make it up based on who we believe people should or should not be."
