This is the Day

The sweet smell of success is such a nice experience especially if it's well and hard earned. I've been struggling with something for the past three years which hindered my independence, freedom and ultimately my feelings of self-worth. I've questioned my abilities, pounded my head with thoughts of giving up and pulling myself back again. It only took one person to push me through. My mom was and is my constant companion, through thick and thin she was there. And now I will forever be grateful for everything. I will always remember this day, the day which I tasted the fruits of my labor. The day I have proved to myself that anything is possible through Christ who gives me strength. The day I never thought would come. I promise to remember that I can do ANYTHING as long as I don't give up and give in to the feelings of loss and inadequacy when failure comes. I can reach my goals through perseverance, patience, and most importantly prayers.

Everything has its own time.
God knows when it is time.
Today is my time.

Sweet, sweet smell of success.
