Amen Lady TT! Thank you sharing that. If I had allowed my own life's experiences to mold me, I would have been beaten to the ground and I thank God immensely for saving me...over and over again. I'm am happy that you are happy Lady TT . May God continue to bless you, everything you touch and your loved ones. 
Thank you, Carmen. It isn't often that people can see the beauty in struggle. People often "perfection" for beauty, but without lessons and experiences to mold us into who we are to become there is no growth, only stagnation.
I see my struggles as God perfecting me and I am grateful for the process, because I keep gleaning wonderful insights into who I was supposed to be when God fashioned me in the womb.
Yes, as I grow older I appreciate these insights into myself way more than I enjoyed the fruits of my hands.
