"I thank my God every time I remember you"

Earlier today I stepped out onto the High Street carrying a slip of yellow paper stamped with the words: "Received by Examination Schools: 11:54 AM." Thesis submitted -- with 6 minutes to spare.

I want to thank all the friends who supported me during this project. Humanly speaking, I could not have done it without you.

To those who prayed for me -- thank you

To those who cooked for me -- thank you

To those who encouraged me by e-mails, text messages, or comments on this blog -- thank you

To those who kept me laughing -- thank you

To those who helped me keep things in perspective -- thank you

To those who stayed with me through the hard times and helped me to keep going -- thank you

To those who rejoiced with me when it was all over -- thank you

You have lived this verse to me:

"Carry one another's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." (Galatians 6:2)

May God bless and keep you.
