Best Advice Someone Gave You: Guard your mouth, the words you speak can never be taken back
Life Verse: Love is patient, love is kind, and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it is not self-seeking, is not provoked, does not take into account wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.  Love never fails.  1 Corinthians 13:4-8(a)
One of My Greatest Experiences with God: When I realized even when I was running away from Him, and was ignorant to His ways, He still loved me and was waiting for me to return to Him.
