When a challenge comes my way, I take a deep breath, smile and I know God has my back. I have seen firsthand, opportunities emerge from the challenges that I have been faced with. There is always a way, I have just had to WORK HARD and TRUST GOD knowing that TOGETHER we will figure it out. I am so grateful DEAR LORD that we have and we will continue TOGETHER to figure it out.

Challenge = Opportunity = Strength = Mo@55
