innovator and rejoice in the success of my pursuits.

that God-given might shall be for those who need it the most. I am always ready to give a helping
hand, no matter how costly the sacrifice maybe. I am gentle in spirit, an epitome of unconditional
love and tenderness.

Person of Integrity. The love of God has made me a complete person. Being such, I cherish a life
