“Let your true beauty come from your inner personality, not a focus on the external. For lasting beauty comes from a gentle and peaceful spirit, which is precious in God’s sight and is much more important than the outward adornment of elaborate hair, jewelry, and fine clothes.” 1 Peter 3:4
In service to country

A Mother's Love

A Mother's love is learned. I can't say thank you enough for loving and protecting me throughout my childhood. It takes a community to grow and evolve. You learn from many to become well rounded. Mommy allowed me to live with my Godparents to ensure I was secure and loved. Her presence was there even when she wasn't. Her love has surrounded and protected me from day one. Thank you and I love you forever, Mommy.
