Eyes of a Witness

Have you ever asked yourself what you want to do with your life, and have you ever asked yourself what your purpose is in life?

So in closing, I hope you will have something that you can believe in, which will give you comfort and strength throughout your life. Likewise, it is most important to keep a firm grip of your own life and the path of which you are
