"And when this happens, when we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands " ~Martin Luther King, Jr.~ Can I say the
AUDACITY of HOPE. I have never thought in my natural lifetime that I would witness HISTORY in its finest hour. As many know, I am an advocate newsreader and very much on civil activisms and history. I must say today, I been praising GOD all day. Last night, as I lay in my husband arms and stare in shock at TV. I witness the First African American to become President. I laid there in shocked as my husband screamed at the TV and my eyes filled with tears and I thought, LOOK at what a Dream can do. I kept repeating thank you
JESUS. All I could think of is hearing my grandparents talk about how much they fought for the right to vote; how active they were in civil rights marches. Lord I wish my grandmother lived long enough to see what a dream can do.
To see what she cried for and fought for in 1965. Forty-three years later, her dream became a reality. My grand father called me crying and stated he is happy to have lived long enough to see this faith and determination, come alive. My grandfather is in his 80’s and he waited yesterday in line with his cane to vote. Can we say more?
I am so happy that Terick and I can show our children, you can be President if you want and HERE is the Proof. No more myths and dreams.
Today I am humble and rejoiceful and as I told a co-worker, you don’t have to like Obama but you have to respect what he have accomplished in History. He did it fair and square and there is nothing you can say about that! I am shocked at some of the people response. How can you frown; really. Either way thank god that GW term has ended and some one can get in and try to clean this mess up.
I must say thank you Jesus again, my spirit is lifted and I pray that everyone was inspired like I was to
NEVER SETTLE and
when Opportunity doesn’t knock for you; you make DOOR open.
I tilt my hat off to you, Obama, may God bless you and your Family…… never stop hoping and dreaming…..
God Bless,The Douglas Family (The Royal Family)
So you wondering what happen to the blog and where we been. It is simple enjoying each other. Guess what, it is that time of year again… ROAD TRIP! It has been awhile since Terick and I been on an actual vacation and guess what we are so excited to get out of the house and BREATHE! God has been so good to us, might as well get out and see God’s Country. I am too excited. I always said if you want to know how you are in a strong relationship go on a road trip and if you don’t kill each other by the end of the trip, you are good to go. I am so excited we are going to a place I have never been. If you know me, you know I LOVE to travel and go to the unknown and get the experience. I have been dying for a trip so the KING provided. Can we say THANK YOU!!! I am sure I will post a few pictures when we actual take the trip. All I can say is the palace of the ROYAL FAMILY is too excited.
