“Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation!...And this be our motto: 'In God is our trust.'”🇺🇸♥️🎵-Star Spangled Banner When I was 14 years old I was taught a phrase by my Jr. High seminary teacher that I have never forgotten nor ever will. These simple words are ones I’ve tried my very best to live my life by... “God is my top priority.” That simple phrase has run through my mind thousands, probably hundreds of thousands of times. It’s guided my biggest and even smallest decisions in life. And although I’ve made so very many mistakes I know that by trying to place God first has blessed my life in more ways than I could ever say or know.♥️ I do believe in God. I do believe in His goodness and in publishing His peace and good tidings. It’s brought me all the happiness I’ve ever known, so why not shout that out?! This world needs a bit of happiness right now. No one can do it alone, so lets focus on joy today and not hate. Happiness not misery. Hope not despair.🇺🇸♥️ Despite her faults there is no place I’d rather live, no place I’d rather have been born. America I love you, I believe in you. I believe the future can still be good. You’ve given me and my family all the opportunity that we have, thank you!!🇺🇸Thank you grandma and grandpa for leaving the Philippines all those years ago with empty pockets but full hearts and a hopeful future taking that leap of faith coming to #America. Today #usa we celebrate you.🇺🇸♥️🇺🇸 Thank you for giving my family it’s religion, it’s education, it’s every opportunity for happiness. Happy 4th of July!!!⭐️🇺🇸⭐️ #4thofjuly
