God didn't give up on me. I am somebody in God's eyes... Let me be a prime example of how I've been through the storm and the rain, and I made it over.

When I realize I've come through so much, good and bad, because of my relationship with Christ, I can't hide that light within me.

You are stronger than you realize. You are more capable than you can imagine. You can do it now!
