I Love to eat, laugh, and listen to music….
Favorite moments: Those Friday nights at the Pub, getting a picture of AJ on my phone, spending time with my family, and weekends with Geo...
My favorite smell: The smell of Fall
My favorite sight: His smile when I walk through the door…
Who I want to spend a day and dinner with: Demetri Martin
"Persecuted, criticized, been denied and abandoned
Pushed away, given away, some days I couldn’t imagine
Getting harder, getting colder, was hard for me to see
Tired of runnin’, tired of hurtin’, even got tired of me
Tired of cryin’, tired of tryin’ to forget my mistakes
Tired of bein’ in this storm, how much more can I take
Many nights in my life, tell me why
I shed more tears, my eyes would allow
And after all that ….Look at me now
I’m stronger this time around
Not because I was so good, but somehow
You looked past where I was
And you knew I’d come through cause You loved me
Look at me now
So many didn’t make it through
That’s why this heart belongs to only You
How can I complain ‘bout the pain I went through
Cause it grew me
Had no hope, had no future, even too hard to dream
No one told me, “boy, you can be whatever you want to be”
Then You saved me and You gave me reason to breathe again
Not perfect, ya’ll, but I’m gon’ run ‘til I make it to the end
(It ain’t easy when your life’s filled with wounds that won’t heal)
And you fight through the lies trying to find what’s for real
Everyone wants the prize but they can’t stand the pain
The strength I needed it came that night I cried out Your name
Yes, I’ve seen some hard times
Some bad choices that I’ve made fell back on me
But now it’s time to move on,
Can’t let my past hold down my destiny
And even though I don’t always know
Why You allow the night to last so long
But when I see the sunlight
It was only to make me strong
I’m better now! I’m closer now!
I’m thankful now! I’m happy now!
I’m stronger now! I’m patient now!
I’m grateful now! I’ll praise you now!"
