First of all I want to thank God for carrying me when I was too weak to walk through my storm, for encouraging me enough to take the first step as He walked beside me through my storm and for letting enter into my destiny and complete my journey as He watched over me. I Know He was with me throughout my journey and i am overwhelmed with joy today to announce to my face book friends and associates, I Made It!! Right now I am smiling with so much joy in my heart. Those who are close to me know what I have been through to get to where I will be on May 10, 2014 at My Graduation Ceremony!!!! Thats why i am shouting Praise God from whom all blessings flow because without Him I Never Would Have Made It. The devil was truly busy and I almost gave up so many times, however, God Said Not My Child, I did not bring you this far to leave or forsake you. Thanks to all of you who pushed me when I began to drag my feet. Thanks to those who held my hand when I had tears in my eyes and told you over and over and over again, I was tired. Thanks to those of you who believed in me when at times I began to question whether or not I still believed in myself. Thanks to those of you who spent countless minutes, hours and sometimes even days encouraging me and continuously reminding me of just how good I would feel when I walked across that stage and receive the blessing that God has bestowed upon me. I have to give special thanks to Ms. Vera Graves, (my sis) ), Dr. Stanley Singleton, Professor John Muiisine, Professor Ronnie Hiller and Ron Goodman for never giving up on me. Regardless as to how many times I threatened to throw in the towel and convince myself I couldnt complete the task, they refused to allow that to happen.I know I was more than two handfuls. I will always cherish their support and true friendship. Laurie, my true best friend to the end, Sista....Girl you just dont know.....Oh yes you do!!!!!!!!...Thank-you...thank-you....thank-you for just being you!!!!! And last but not least I want to thank my family starting with my mother, and my children (Dwayne, Nique, Darrell and Alfred Jr.) for sticking by my side and God knows its been a long.journey but well worth every minute of it. I always told my children that if they went to college, I would go back and get my degree and that I did!!! The Race is not given to the swift nor to the strong but to the one who endures to the end, that scripture strengthened me every time I began to doubt my own strength. Gods promise is No matter what you are going through in life, its only a Temporary Inconvenience preparing you for Permanent Improvement. Thats what I kept saying to myself over and over whenever I came to that fork in the road. Perseverance - Continuing to Trust in God - The Courage to Fight- and the Strength to get back up EACH and EVERY time I fell - Accept All Challenges as tools for Future Accomplishments..............These are what afforded me the opportunity to be able to say, Thank-you God for your Grace and Mercy and last but not least at all - I can truly say that I Made It!!!!!!! Please dont be offended if I didnt call out your name. You know what role you played and thats all that really matters. Please charge it to my head and not my heart!!!!!!!! Now if you truly are acquainted with me, you know I CAN TALK!!!!!!!!! God Bless you all and Good Morning-Nite!!!!!!!!!.......smiles........
