“Most of us are
not raised to actively encounter our destiny. As children, we may not know that
we have one. We are seldom told we have a place in life that is uniquely ours
alone. As we get older, we are encouraged to believe that our life should somehow
fulfill the expectations of others, that we will (or should) find our
satisfactions as they have found theirs. Rather than being taught to ask
ourselves who we are, we are schooled to ask others. We are, in effect, trained
to listen to others' versions of ourselves, and we act upon those ideas, yes
the idea of how we are supposed to look like, act and even treat others. We are
brought up in our life as told to us by someone else! When we finally try survey
our lives, seeking to fulfill our creativity, we often see we had a dream that
went glimmering because we believed, and those around us believed that the
dream was beyond our reach. Many of us would have been, or at least might have
been, done, tried something, if...If we had known who we really were.” Dare to dream. JC

- I think one familiar short, yet most powerful statement a believer can say is "I’m “Walking by Faith”. At my age, I have been through countless storms, some small and some big. Nonetheless , my faith continues to carry me through. This is my life’s testimony. The world wants you to believe that there is something wrong with a life like mine because I've gone through and I’m still going through. They want you to believe that if you have what the Jones’s have then you are living a fulfilled life. Pretty funny, huh? Well, I walk by faith, and I know I’m God’s best. That should be fulfilling enough, and God is still completing me as I happily tell my story about how more complete my life is. As you walk by faith, you will be strengthened. You need to understand that challenges are merely new opportunities for you to reach your greatness. Finally, know that your life will truly be blessed when everything that you touch will provide you with a blessed life and no good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly. "Whatever I go through, whatever happens, "Either Way I Win"; whether God heals me here on earth, or heals me by calling me home to be with Him, "Either Way I Win"!
