Humility and Determination!!!

This morning I woke up feeling very Happy! I love that the Sun was shining brightly and the Lord allowed me to see another day. I Thank God for his mercy and Love!

Last night was the first night of the historic Presidential win with Sen. Barack Obama as our new Leader. This morning is the first day of the Our Change... I'm going to count down to January 20, 2009 when he is inaugurated.

Listening to Sen. McCain concede was very interesting. I felt he did a wonderful job of trying to calm his supporters and also congratulate Sen. Obama. Sen. McCain was very sullen and humbled by the experience.

Listening to Sen. Obama speak was a great feeling. I don't think I would have been able to stand and listen live... I would have be crying all over the place. However, I did enjoy the way he referenced God and explained that he will need everyone's support both those that supported him and those that opposed. I loved when he stated that he must lead this country with Humility and Determination. I pray that he continue to seek God and lead this country with Humility, Determination and Dignity.

After the win, I began listening to the Mayor of Newark, New Jersey Cory Booker explained that his mother said, if someone think this win is about a single human race you are wrong... this historic run and win for the highest governmental official was about the love and compassion of people and the country.

I've read this and thought to share it... Former U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan, who is from the West African nation of Ghana, said the vote was a historic event that he had never expected to see in his lifetime. He said Obama's victory demonstrates "America's extraordinary capacity to renew itself and adapt to a changing world."

I also loved the model of the first family. I love that we have a African American First Family. I love that they show public affection, His wife waited for him when he was leaving the stage, the children and family members were there and that they are a real live verison of an African American Family.

HUMILITY AND DETERMINATION!!!!!
