AMERICA

<p>America is a great country. </p><p><br></p><p>I'm very lucky to be blessed by the Almighty God himself. </p><p><br></p><p>I remember growing up in Africa that I always wished I would come to America. On December 25th 1999 my dreams came true. I landed in the United States of America in Dallas Texas. That was the happiest day of my life. </p><p><br></p><p>The first thing I noticed was that there was so much food everywhere. I was shocked. I started crying because I remembered what we had gone through in Africa just to survive. We had to go to the stream twice a day every day to fetch water and we had to carry it back home on our heads before we could cook. I wished I could carry some of the food back to my friends. I was actually in awe that there was light every day and running water around the clock. </p><p><br></p><p>I knew that this great move had been chosen by God and He has blessed us so much. I couldn't believe that my dreams had come true. I said to myself You are actually in the United States. No more suffering. You can now be who you want to be. I couldn't sleep for so many nights because I was so excited about everything. I said to myself Now I have the privilege to better my life. I wouldn't have had this kind of opportunity if I was still back in Africa.</p><p><br></p><p> Psalms 33:12 reads Blessed are the nations whose God is the Lord the people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance.</p>
