Registration

I registered for class today. One step closer to attaining one of the most elusive goals I ever put in front of myself. A degree. One that has given me heartache and pain but which will not leave my spirit, and for myself and my ancestors I have to complete this race. One step closer today.

I also closed the chapter on Virginia. I registered my car on Friday-and it is official I am a DC resident tried and true. I still need to turn in my old tags, but the time and space in VA is over. My new life can be clear of much of the past-few bills to clean up but all in all I am at home in the District finally.

I went back to work today. After two weeks away, it was hard to go in and there was some anxiety about the job...considering I have assumed some additional duties there, but I am okay. It was not a very difficult adjustment and I am happy in some ways to be back inside my routine and ready to work.

It is a new day. Many positive aspects of life stare at me right in the eye. I must not settle for less from myself and try to bring the best out of all those around me. I have an opportunity to be a good man, a strong husband, a contributor to my community and an asset to the organization I work for. If my grandfathers had the opportunity I have before me now, they would not have squandered it. They set me up for this day and I cannot let my family and ancestors down.

I cannot let myself down. To those given much, much is expected in return. This is my season of preparation, where I fine tune the man God needs to do his work later on. I must only remain faithful and diligent. Know that which is truly for you as a man.
