YES WE DID!!!!

Just one week ago (tomorrow) Senator Barack Obama became the 45th President of the USA. I will never forget where I was when I heard the news. I was driving home rushing to see the announcement unford before millions...my heart raced a marathon that could have earned me a gold medal. However, as I got closer to my home...the world erupted and it had been declared Barack Obama would be our next President. I nearly fell out of the car to get in front of the televison. Though, his victory was told to me over the phone (thanks Melinda)...I had to see if for myself on televison. As I watched the world shout in glory, I cried like a baby and cried some more. As a black woman I cried for all my ancestors. Knowing the history of my people...I could not help but cry and shout Hallelujah!!!!! O HAPPY DAY! I thought about Harriet Tubman when she lead slaves through a secret passage way to freedom. My goodness...I could not be more proud! I feel like Barack will lead this country into a better place. By no means is he GOD; however, he has Joshua like qualities and for that I am thankful.

YES WE CAN & YES WE DID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I close with this great song...it makes me cry and it will forever be a memory in my mind when I think back to November 4, 2008.

America, America
may God thy gold refine
Til all success be nobleness
And every gain devined.

Oh beautiful, for spacious skies
For amber waves of grain
For purple maountain majesties
Above the fruited plain

America, sweet America
You know, God done shed his grace on thee
He crowned thy good, in brotherhood
From sea to shining sea.

America, America,
God shed his grace on thee
My God he done shed his grace on thee
And you oughta love him for it,Cause he crowned thy good
with brotherhood,(From sea to shining Sea).

God BLESS!!!!
