Years ago when I worked in a shoe shop in London, I always promised myself not to make that job permanent. Years ago when I was homeless in London sleeping in cars, I always said I was on transit. Years ago when I could not afford 2 shoes and I had only one with the sole ripped I always said it won't be long. So guess what I began to do? I always found myself taking a pen and paper and signing autographs. At that time it did not make sense .. Now the rest is history .. God has wiped my tears permanently , that will be your story before 2015 ends..
