Hi I'm KAYSHIA That's just how it is... Along with free will

we are subject to occurances but only we can change how we respond to any given circumstance. absolutely anything that happens is meant to happen. That's how I see it. But god did give us free will, and I truly confide in that. So with that everyone is entitled to what they believe and think. You're opinion may differ from mine. Like
