What a beautiful story she has! I like her motto in life: it's not me, it's God! It goes to show how humble she is because despite all of the achievements she has achieved in life, she still chooses to credit God for all of the blessings she has been receiving. I share the same principle as her. I always make sure to thank God for everything that is happening in my life because that if it would not be for Him, I will never be in the position that I am today. He is the reason why I am successful. He is the reason why I have achieved all of the great things in my life. He has helped me to become the person that I am today and I will never get tired of thanking Him for that. Leave a Reply. |
