No Longer Waiting…
I have jettisoned the frustration and strengthened my grip on the hope that I have for a brighter day. Regardless of what happens at the appellate level of this case, there will be a brighter day. My 2008 wish list was almost completely granted. Grateful does not describe the appreciation that I have for God, my family and my friends. I walk my life in awe of God’s power. By society’s standards, I should be nothing. Theoretically, I should be doing nothing, going nowhere, with no one around me but others who are doing the same amount of nothing. Win or lose (my appeal to CAAF), one day, people will see my life and know that anything is possible with faith in God. It is not cliche. It is truth.
The 2009 Christmas Wish List:
1. Howard, George Washington, DePaul Law School acceptance
2. Alexis starts gymnastics and loves it!
3. Lindsey begins with Teach For America in January (or AISD)
4. My mother moves out of her old house
5. Buy Linds a home with a front porch and back patio
6. A chance to talk to many of the classmates from CGA that I never had the chance to speak with
7. That my sister graduates from college this year
8. Alexis’ enrollment in a great pre-school program
9. CAAF votes in my favor
10. I begin the career that makes my life one of purpose
