Class of 2011

As of yesterday (December 5, 2011) I am now, officially a College Graduate!  It has been hard work, and many tears of frustration have been shed trying to achieve this milestone - but by the Lord's grace and an abundance of encouragement and guidance from my husband (Malachi Sewell - who inspired me to get my degree.  He has 4 degrees!), mother (Dr. Bridgette Davis), Malachi's mother for recommending Ashford University, and a very special Professor (Professor Duyen Nguyen - my Environmental Science Professor), I graduated!  I now hold a Bachelor of Arts in Social Science with a Concentration in Education from Ashford University.  I have learned so much, and what is even more special is that I have not wavered in my convictions, beliefs, or worldview.  If anything, pursuing this degree through a secular university only worked to strengthen my convictions, beliefs, and worldview.  I made it through 3 years of college standing firm in my love for the Lord and my family.

It has been an interesting experience, to say the least, but one that I am proud to have accomplished in the face of much adversity.  I was once the person that no one believed would ever accomplish anything; yet by the grace of the Lord, He has accomplished much in me!  He gets all the credit and glory for all achievements in my life.  

And of course, while I hate to admit it, having "credentials" is a nice feeling!
