Rich hair

Just as beautiful
Just as natural
As God created her
She embraces the beauty of God
So embedded in her
This African girl is striking

She is me

Embracing the beauty of God
So embedded in her

This is dedicated to you my sister...you are beautiful

HERE'S A MARRIAGE THAT LASTS FOREVER

Now l know that there's a marriage that works forever and ever.

Have you seen preparedness meet opportunity? Nothing locks in key like this two elements when it comes to dreams.

Its when you hear people say...they have had success in a relatively short time. Short time? Ask that unknown athlete for how long he has been training? Ask him how long he has been training and waiting for that moment when the silver lining penetrates the dark clouds. Ask him? Go ahead.

I know for sure...that when preparedness meets opportunity, there's nothing anyone can do to stop it.

Preparedness is faith with hope that the dream will come to reality. Opportunity is when your faith just got tangible.

I am learning that when preparedness meets opportunity the world is not big enough to hold it neither is the dearest blue sky the limit.

Now l know there's a marriage that lasts forever... that of preparedness meeting opportunity.
