''I knew since then that I was born for the battles in my way. So I fought my way through. Years later, the people who bought from me so we could afford a meal. I have paid my dues❤️. My family eats anything, whenever and where ever. My puppies even have options to choose from. LORD AM GRATEFUL. THE ESSENCE OF MY PRAISE IS CENTERED ON YOUR GRACE.
