Greetings Everyone...the first month of 2011 is coming to a close today. I continue to welcome each new day and each new month as the manifestation of the home for G.R.A.C.E. gets closer. I continue to hold on to the dream, to the vision, and to the Promise!
A major concern is beginning here in Tulsa as talks of closing schools may be happening in the near future. My Pastor made a statement which I wholeheartedly agree; "let them close so we can open them!" As a people we converse and theorize but the need is greater and needs to be addressed NOW. As my teaching assignements continue to take me to the North Tulsa area the need is so evident. We need teachers, principals, parents, and interested people who really want to intervene on behalf of the children.
I continue to keep myself encouraged with the Word of God and surrounded with people alive with God-given visions. I will not give up.

I remain in His Grip!!!

Celebrating one year!

Greetings Everyone...since my last post the ministry, God's Redemption Affects Children Everywhere, G.R.A.C.E. has officially become one year old! The launching was 01-16-10 and it was a glorious day. As I look back purpose has become quite evident to me. God made and equipped me to advocate for the under-served. Once purpose is clearly recognized then you have complete respect for the vision and the Giver of the vision. Once respect is established, your trust heightens to where you release both yourself and the vision back to the Giver of the vision. At this point the breaking down and building up process becomes the norm. This state of being eventually becomes gratifying because you are in the Hands of the Creator Who wants only the very best for you!
Saturday, the actual event day, I had the honor to host the first fruits of G.R.A.C.E. her name is Asheley. She is a young woman who has been grossly under-served the majority of her life and this disservice continues at this point of her young life. Witnessing the results of this neglect angers me! This anger creates such a passion within me that my focus is set and my specific request has been made known to God. I am ready to receive the much needed home promised me when I said "YES". Yes, I will stand and advocate for her. Recently she said "Momma Sharon; I'm ready to come home." I am ready to have that home to which she can come to NOW.
I request that you stand with me in faith as I say "thank You God, for the beautiful home". Please pray that the healing of Jesus will continue to manifest in Asheley...spirit, soul, and body.

I remain in His Grip!
