What is one thing you wish you knew when you were younger?
Lol - I really don't want to go there. If the truth be known, I'm really not one that likes to play the "what if I knew" game with myself or tell myself that I should have done this or that back when... I believe that God laid out my life as it was and is for a reason; so I choose to keep looking forward to what he has in store for me.
