The school year will soon be ending. This brief period of time I have been Substitute Teaching in the Tulsa Public Schools has been a great eye opener! I began volunteering in a middle school. Witnessing the behavior of the children toward the teachers and at times one another caught my undivided attention. Such dispresct came forth out of such young people. Thus, began my soul searching.

Classroom settings when it is just me to teach, manage behavior, and conduct all other duties that are required for the students made me realize America is doing our children a disservice. But when I think the way our Creator thinks; it becomes personal. I am a sent one to proactively intervene in young people's lives. The world is not truly concerned but it's His Heart. His childern. So with that full understanding I have decided to what He whats me to do. Making such a decision...to follow Jesus, comes with resistance and obstacles that is when His Spirit reminds me..."I will never leave you nor forsake you".

The Board Members of G.R.A.C.E. remain supportive and faithful to the vision. We all agree we are well able to take the land which God has given us. Their love and prayers keeps me motivated to continue on this journey. I expect because God promised!

I remain in His Grip!!!
