“I had 20/20 vision but lost it in ’97.  I lost my whole sight, my complete sight.  It started like in mid-May and by mid-July I was completely blind.

But God ain’t never let me down.  He hasn’t let me down yet.  He’s the one that’s got me where I am now and keeping me going, you know, so He’s everything.  God is everything.

God gave me my kids.  I’m making sure since it’s just me and them, I’m taking care of them, doing what I got to do for them.  I can do without myself, you know what I’m sayin’, but I just make sure they got.  God is providing.  He is the provider.  He is everything, all I need.  Where I try to depend on people, they tell me they gonna do this and do that.  When the time comes for it to get done, they are nowhere to be found.  God, He’s always there.  He makes it happen.  He makes things happen.

Look, I am here and I am raising my two kids by myself.  Now, what better example do you need?  We don’t need nothin’.  What we need, God provides.

Nothing is bad enough to just give up.  If you give up, that’s the end.  But if you keep trying, there’s always something to reach out for, always, always something.  It may not be much, but it’ll be more than you had.  Always think positive.  The mind is where all your troubles come from.  Can is a positive word.”
