Misc - My jokes are not the funniest, but I don't care. They be funny to me! ;-) And for the record, my name is really spelled "Faith" like in the bible. I started spelling my name with an "e" because I was planning to go to college for fashion designing and had almost completed my portfolio and everything. I was going to name it "Faithe Inc." So, I started using that name a lot spelled like that and it became a habit and soon everybody else began to spell my name like that...I didn't realize I'd start an epidemic. :-) So, for the record, my name really is Faith, straight out the bible. My dad and mom went back and forth about what to name me when I was born. He wanted Faith and she wanted Danielle. He won. And he would trip if he knew I was spelling my name like this so don't tell him!!! I hated my name for so long growing up and always said I was going to get it changed because I used to get teased a lot. Has that changed at all...hecky naw! I still get teased.
Any Testimony to share - At the age of 7 I was supposed to be dead. My family and I went on a picnic at Belle Isle and we were right off the water, the river that separates Belle Isle from Canada. I was playing by myself too close to the cliff and before I knew it I had fallen over the cliff and was drowning. There was no rocks or any barrier to separate the water from the picnic area. At the edge of the cliff when you look down it was nothing, but water. The cliff, from what I remember, was about 5 feet above the water. My family didn't even know I had fallen over. I don't even remember screaming because I couldn't. I would start sinking and somehow something would lift me back up on top of the water. I would just keep sinking and coming back up. All the time I was in that water, I should have been drowned or been tossed away with the tide, but everytime I would sink, somehow I would get pushed back up, and I didn't get tossed very far from where I had fallen into the river. That water was extremely deep and there's no way I should have survived. Most people that I heard about falling or jumping into that river, they drown because the tide is so strong it sweeps them away. How did I make it? My dad says it's a mystery, because all they remember was me walking towards them from the cliff, soaked in water, asking me what just happened. I couldn't even explain it myself at 7 years old. He said they didn't even realize I was missing until they saw me coming up from the water all wet. I never talked about it much to them after that, cause I didn't realize what really happened. Now, I realize..........an angel had saved my life. I realize that God let me stay here for a reason. None of you would even know anything about "Faith" had he not spared my life that summer day. So, every time I think about that I am encouraged to continue to be a blessing and do what I can to help inspire or change someone else's life. I owe that to Him.

Anything else ya wanna know? Ask in the comment section...I'm done for now.
