I thank God everyday that I walk this in life for my risk taking ability, for the fearlessness I had early on in my life to open my eyes to the world that surrounds me. I have been fortunate enough to learn two other languages than English and to have traveled outside the city limits in my hometown. As I embark on this journey to resurrect Moses and take my children to the promise land, I am empowered by the choices I made to expand my mind onto great horizons. That I was not consumed by ignorance, but by curiosity to take me far beyond places that only day dreamers can think of. This is not an attempt to boast, it is an attempt to inspire those who think that there is a limitation on life; the only limit is the sky. Even though it can become a cliche'; if there is anyone that reads this blog in the United States and is over the age of 17, and who voted on November 3, 2008; there is hope. If a biracial male from Kansas by way of Hawaii hold the ultimate power to assist in shaping our great nation, there is no need in doubting that one cannot succeed. Sure the road is tough, it was not meant to be easy by no means, but the finishing to get to a desirable destination makes paying dues worth it. One may take my words with a grain of salt; my testimony is and always will be, to hand over the keys to God or whomever one may believe it and trust with faith that your season is coming in full harvest. Your adversity may be a temporary setback, but it is only a permanent set up for a great reign in your life- Karen Clark Sheard.
