"Here I Am" - 2012 Personal Reflection Series (VIDEO)

As the year culminates, I thank my precious Lord for His abounding grace and mercy.  It was His power that kept me.  Some people did not expect me to still be standing, but "Here I Am, I Survived..." (Marvin Sapp).   Within 12 months, God gave me my home, and my completed degree (Graduation November 12, 2012).  I am now proudly (but ever humble) Dr. Leonie Brown.  He is so worthy to be praise. I will continue to serve and honour Him with my gifts Hallelujah!.

This song has been a beacon of strength, remembrance and thanksgiving for me.  I am in awe every time I hear it.
