I thought that the final defense of my dissertation was the main event but I was absolutely wrong. When our Graduate School Dean informed me that I was graduating with academic honors (Cum Laude), my heart was overflowing with joy and I could not help shedding tears of joy and thanking the Lord for the awesome thing He has orchestrated. The road to success did not happen overnight and it was never automatic. It's a result of journeying with God on a daily basis and doing things for His glory. God gave me victory through out my three-year journey in the graduate school. It's God who gave me wisdom and strength to hurdle the challenges of being a graduate student. It's hard to figure out things on the day of my graduation but I praise and glorify God for what He has done. I was chosen to represent Graduate School in the candle lighting during the Baccalaureate. And when my name was called as one of the academic awardees, it was truly a glorious moment walking on stage with my beloved husband on my right and my dearest mother on my left. Glory to God! I am always at a loss for words every time I see God's hands at work in my life. He is truly awesome!
Thanksgiving Dinner With My Graduate School Professors - June 10, 2016. Remembering the remarkable journey (UC Grad School). The thanksgiving dinner was attended by special people who were instrumental to this achievement. Medyo sad lang that my immediate family, in-laws and spiritual mentors missed it. It was an opportunity to talk about my testimony that I made it not because of my own wisdom and strength but by the grace and blessings of the Lord. To God be the glory!
