January 20 , 2009 marks the day that a dream was not only realized , but is now a reality . Millions of people young and old, black and white, big and small have flocked to our nations capital to watch our 44th President be sworn into office . Barack H.Obama , a bi-racial man has rekindled hope in so many hearts.
Many never thought they would see a black man in the White House . Not as a cook , or secret service agent , but as President of the United States of America.
My heart has smiled this morning as I have watched history unfold right before my eyes. This morning I have been watching the news coverage . I listened as an older black woman cried telling the reporter the last time she stood in front of the Washington monument was when Martin Luther King gave the " I Have A Dream Speech". Another woman from Ghana , traveled from Africa to be apart of the momentous occasion.
President Barack Obama represents the power of faith . This man had faith in himself that he could do whatever he put his mind to. God used him as a vessel to show others that faith as small as a mustard seed can grow into something bigger. I feel so blessed and honored to be living through history.
Although I am not in D.C to be amongst the crowds to just hear his voice, today is a special day for my country. It's a day that my ancestors died for . A day that our forefathers wrote about when they wrote, " All men are created equal". Today is the result of the pursuit of happiness. A day that symbolizes hopes and dreams. A day that reminds me that what God has an infinite plan for all of us ,if we just BELIEVE. Watching the televised event put a sense of pride in my heart . Watching Barack, Michelle, Malia, and Sasha take their place on that stage ignited a fire of inspiration in my heart . No weapon formed against the progression of our nation shall prosper. I pray that God will surround our new president with an army of angels.
Putting my hand over my heart and reciting the Pledge of Allegiance and singing the Star-Spangled Banner have a whole new meaning as freedom continues to ring.
HAPPY INAUGURATION DAY
