She Speaks Photography by Laura McBryde in every issue iris joseph I have encountered many obstacles in life, yet my faith has kept me grounded. Although things don’t always go as planned, God has a plan. With that in mind, I stay excited about my future. Throughout life, He has been with me. I am a living witness of God’s mercy, grace, forgiveness, and love. When I strayed, He called me back and opened my eyes to how much better my life would be if I just believe and trust in Him. As this journey continues, I know I will not get everything right. I may even fall. But, in faith, I will get back up each time. 34 NOVEMBER 2015 SHEMAGAZINE.COM
