There's just something about a woman with confidence

Today my mother is off once again to another trip to the treatment center. Although she has had a very gradual recovery post surgery, there has been yet another complication. However, despite this new complication, there is a new air about her all together. A level of confidence, security, gratefulness, and grace that has far surpassed anything I have witnessed thus far. Although she is not at the end of the tunnel, she has seen the light. She has seen a small crack of light that has left her praising in advance! Her energy is so positive and it certainly portrays that of a true conqueror. Today she said, "I'm not going to wear my wig or hat today. I'm going to let my hair down"...its the first time she's out in public with nothing covering her head! Walking so gracefully, head high and back straight, she looked just like a super model! 


There's just something about a woman with confidence, she has it!

***My Mommy the prayer warrior, dream supporter, love giver, spirit lifter, and all around inspiration for my life. I am beyond blessed to have her not only as my mother, but as my best friend.***


Come August 2011...
Just like my mother has shouted even before she has reached the end of the tunnel, I will do the same. 


I'm a bit nervous about moving to a big metropolitan city and starting a rigorous graduate program. At times, I'm still in disbelief that I got accepted to one of the best optometry schools in the nation. Given the opportunity to complete SEP, I proved myself and ended up performing as one of the top students! I must constantly remind myself... I did it once, so I know I can do it again once the actual semester starts. I am nervous, but I'm ready to start this journey!  


I must also remind myself that I have once loved, loved genuinely and with my all. I was involved with someone that served a great purpose in my life for just that moment. It was a wonderful feeling, but it wasnt right. Together we were not standing on a strong foundation. We had a phileo/conditional type of love. I look at that as the preparation for the real thing... AGAPE. A type of love thats unconditional, self giving, others-conscious, self initiating, never changing, unwavering, and like that of a tree. Dating purposefully, I know that whats to come will be greater than what was before. I trust in Him with all my heart. I give myself to Him to establish my steps (Prov 16:3), give me the desires of my heart (Psalm 37:4), and to make my path straight (Prov 3:6). E.A. keep that 1:1 commitment!

So beautiful and inspiring 

Knowing August will be here in no time, I will approach my new journey with confidence. Head high, back straight, and standing tall! Yes to success in school and yes to him!
