Dr. Katz - Plastic Surgeon
"Strive to be a woman of virtue. I'm tired of allowing my circumstances to dictate who I am. I am priceless, and no one can tell me differently. God says that I am fearfully and wonderfully made, and if God says it then I believe it. My worth does not have a price tag on it, so you can't buy my love. My opinions, thoughts, and mind can not be purchased. I've learned to trust in the Lord and even though it can be difficult at times, He's my very present help in time of need. I'm lost without Him, and I've learned that the more you go through in life it just indicates how special you are to Him. He tests us, because He wants to see if he can trust us with other people’s lives. Think about it if you have never been through anything what right do you have to even speak concerning that situation. Through the tough times you develop compassion, and you become humbled at the same time, and I can honestly say that because of my experiences my life will never be the same. If it had not been for the Lord, I don't know where I'd be! God's mercy kept me so I wouldn't let go. I'm still standing, and by God's grace the sky is the limit. "
