Good evening...this was a revelatory weekend concerning my finances. Please, hear this...when you surrender ALL to God every aspect of your life and your being comes under His scunity and His correction. The time I have spent with my Father proves He wants the best for me. Obtaining knowledge with understanding not only empowers me but it corrects me also. The need for me to obtain a livelihood has been the forefront of my concern for some time. But He made it clear to me that my mindset had not changed. Receiving the quality of income that I need must have a focus and a purpose. My desire is to become debt free and thats sounds good coming out of my mouth and it looks good as I take classes that will aid me. But I was about to try and enter into this opportunity with the mindset of just making money.

Strategy is important and I am determined to continue this walk with strength that only comes from Divine Directions. Life just keeps getting sweeter and sweeter because my God is FAITHFUL!

Good Tuesday morning...a few days late but the confirmations of God are always on time. A friend sent me an email talking about the appointed time. This message is another true confirmation during my time of remaining.

During my time of reflection I recognize how busy I was trying to make the true vision come into existence. Honestly I have been at this for some time; it's good to hold onto all your notes. Now I can truly relax and rest as I know God will manifest the vision at its appointed time.

I keep before me the Promises that are spoken to me through the Word of God. True confession...I missed my call as a school teacher. I'm founding that out as I volunteer in a middle school and just completed training for Teacher for the Day (substitute teacher). I have repented but remain dilligent for this task placed before me. As I look into the face of a child; I'm looking into the face of our future. What a great God-opportunity!!!

Good Sunday morning everyone...fall season continues to tell us it has arrive with its brisk and cool mornings and evenings. That's okay as it is to be expected for such a season, just as we are to expect manifestations to our request when we ask our Heavenly Father for things. I now have the true revelation expectation is a true key of receiving what God has promised.

The vision and purpose has been revealed to me, the transforming of my mind, heart, and spirit has taken place, now He is showing me how to enter in...to capture the population He has anointed me to touch. I have asked for the ideas, concepts, and insights and He is giving them to me. He is equipping me and to that I say...thank You Father. The time is NOW!

I am looking forward to when I will be sending you all an invitation to the grand opening of G.R.A.C.E.'s first home. Remember if you can't see the vision you can't receive the manifestation of the vision.

Greetings on this chilly Sunday. The fall season is upon us and I can feel the affects of this change. Our lives experience seasons and it has become evident G.R.A.C.E. and I are in a new season. God has allowed me to understand the purpose of the vision but He never devulged how He was going to manifest it. Yes, I had my own ideas but they just pale when compared to His way. So, I remain quietly before Him...the operative word is quietly. When my mind is busy with my thoughts or my mouth speaking I don't get the full intention of what He wants me to do. I truly understand the directive...sit down and be quiet! I reap great benefits when I obey this directive.

It is always a pleasure to share my heart with family and friends. And I remain grateful to those of you who take the time to read my blog. I rejoice in the Lord always and again I say I will rejoice!!!

Happy Sunday...There has been such a spiritual release within me lately that confirms, to me, God is in control. Kirby and I have said, 'yes' to a few volunteering opportunities that have taken us into the Tulsa Public School. The fresh networking opportunities, with people who share the same vision and passion of seeing great change begin in our children, is really exciting.
The task before us is difficult but God says...we can do ALL things through Him. We are proactively touching young lives to assure our children will no longer be placed under the label of...statistics show. We are saying 'no' to any fiery darts that come against our children. And we are putting into action plans that will assure a blessed future for them.

Good morning...I am up early with thanksgiving in my heart. My recent encounters with family and understanding the Word; that love begins at home makes me very grateful for my Perfect Examples. God loved us so much that He gave His very BEST and Jesus loved us so much that He gave His LIFE for us. I am not expected to and should not do anything less. Therefore, I will love, I will forgive, I will forget, and I will repent...just like David did and my rejoicing will be just as great. He danced right out of his clothes with joy!

To better explain myself; G.R.A.C.E. purpose is to minister to the disadvantaged and show the love of God by exemplifying the life of Jesus. The unconditional love these children will need is something me and those who labor with me must show. The foundation we are building on must be solid...built by and on the Word of God and it must be tried...our obedience to the Word.

Opposition does not surprise me, opposition will not stop me, opposition will not discourage me, but opposition does tell me...if God be for me who can be against me!!! I'VE GOT THE VICOTRY...YEAH!!! YEAH!!!

Happy holiday weekend...as I start this blog my son is giving me a verbal spanking and at the sametime telling me of the great network opportunities I am missing. His reasoning makes great sense and I will definitely follow up on his suggestions. Thanks son!!!

Now that two major things have been marked off my to-do list...Articles of Incorporation and the 501(3)c my focus remains but the intensity of my stand has lightened somewhat. I would like to share this, for the last 3 weeks I have been in excruciating back and hip pain. This experience not only delayed and possibly changed my mind about run a marathon in December but it definitely made clear the state of mind and being the children that G.R.A.C.E. will be ministering to.

These little people who have not been long on this earth have gone through such torture and loss of life. I understand consistent pain, I understand not being able to sleep at night, and I understand the need to have someone assist me. They live in constant pain, they live in constant fear, they have no one. They are vulnerable to degredation and abuse but their little voices are not heard. Plus a system (DHS) that was established to advocate on their behalf will not come to their aid. They need someone...they need intervention NOW! G.R.A.C.E. has the honor to be one of many who say enough is enough.

Opportunities continue to open to us that will allow us to touch and change their lives and to that we say thank You God.
