It is so amazing how a dream can come true. For over a year now, I have dreamed of Fred graduating from college. I was there with two children. One was Bug and the other was an almost one year old I never saw the sex of the one I was carrying. I was in perfect shape with well defined arms and a fitted purple dress with a black belt and black shoes. My hair was natural with shiny curls and my make-up was perfect...
I have been extremely busy. Not very productive, just busy. I didn't take the time to look for a dress. I hate looking for anything when I am overweight. So, I asked God to help me. I just explained my situation to him. I cast the care of my outward appearance and gave it to Him. Friday, I went inside the boutique and found the perfect purple dress. Okay, it fits well. It looks good. So, now Lord, I need some shoes. Because my feet are large, it is difficult at times to find shoes that are my size, but I went into the second shoe store and "BAM!" the perfect pair of shoes to go with the dress. So my dream became a reality. Just as I saw it (minus the part about me being in perfect shape). But this is not about me I began to think. I just want to look my best for Frederick 's big day.
So, Saturday was an awesome day. Frederick graduated from Ole Miss with his Bachelor's in Business Administration with a concentration on Human Resources. I have never been so proud of him. He was extremely proud of himself. The excitement that he displayed was beautiful. He didn't even sleep Friday night. He got out of the bed at about 3 am and I got out of bed to help him calm his nerves. He really liked my dress. I am so glad he did. God picked it out for me.
Hearing his name as he walked across the stage, was the best part. Watching him smile as he shook the hand of the Dean of the Business School. Congratulations, Fred. Welcome to Rebelville....Hotty Toddy!
