I picked this one because I was sitting at a volleyball game, wondering if my mom was going to come but she didn't, and I cried because we lost the volleyball match. My new friend's mom came over and hugged me, to make me feel better. There are nice people in this world, not just bad.

I actually saw this on a billboard believe it or not. My testimony although I'm sure very powerful, and I am very certain many people need to hear, and like most it all started with great hurt and loss, but God is faithful and brought to me so much more happiness and hope than I ever felt I deserved. But I feel when it is time for me to speak, then I believe he will direct my steps to do so.

I think this has the basic meaning of faith.
"Sometimes I look at myself and I see an imperfect person, trying just to do my best in any way possible. One of those ways is to never let people kill my beliefs and faith that help me to face life everyday. This world already has so much evil and negativity that I REFUSE to add more into my own world. My dream is that someday I see myself old and feel the big satisfaction that I had the opportunity to help many in my life, that I can remember my life with a smile and die with the feeling of peace and happiness that I had done my best."
