"Have you ever seen such a person" who has faith just as me. To walk by faith and not by sight, cause faith you can not see. I received a gift a four years old, just to last me for a while, God saw fit to bring me home, cause living with pain was not my style. Don't feel sorry for me, I made it through my test. Feel sorry for the ones who don't know God. He's the one, let him give you rest. So as you watched my life's movie, as life was given to me I was set out to bless you all even that someone who can not see. "So what is your purpose in life," Pastor Williams would always ask, to become one with God and have a vision that was the ultimate task. I make it, I made it, I made it. Now I can dance in the heavenly sky. "Grateful, grateful, grateful." I am to be dancing with God on high. Always remember me as a blessing in disguise. - Ferlandria (Shay) Harris.
