As I reflect on the last five years of my life's journey, I recognize that God has led me in a path that I could not have taken without His guidance. It is not a path that I desired to take, rather, it became a life - changing experience that has offered me the very things God has so lovingly given, which includes love, trust, and courage. The love of the Lord has spoken to me in such a way that I am able to hear more than ever before. My eyes beheld all matters from the heart as life handed me unexpected circumstances and surprise outcomes that planned my purposeful existence," I now see with my heart."
