The Elementry Years

I have been through some trying times in my short life of 31 years. I have decided that I am going to share my life with others, but show how the Lord has shown me Favour through it all. My prayer is that this blog will bring God Glory and that He will use it to bring people closer to him.


At a every young age of 8, I expected Christ in my life. I knew at that time that I needed Him and that He was the only way that I could get to heaven and have eternal life. I was baptized at the First Baptist Church in Whiteface, TX. This is the church that would influence my life for every. I remember my school teachers, preacher (Brother Harold), and even the nursery workers. I love that church and I know that God had me there for a reason.


In third grade we moved to a new town and started a new school. I was afraid the first day of third grade. I thank God every day for His strength. I was not the only new girl in the class, there was another one, Cari H. She was just as scared as I was and we became friends that day. She was a daughter of a preacher, and showed Gods mercy on me. She would become a Godly Role Model in my life. Third grade was a hard time for me. I was diagnosed with dyslexia that year. Math and reading was very hard for me to understand and even do. I honestly did not think that I would ever get out of school that year. Thank God for teachers that spend time and help kids with this problem. Many kids drop out of school because of it and if teachers would just have take the time to help, there is a possibility that they would have graduated from high school and maybe even college.


I made it out of 3rd grade. It was time to start 4th grade and a new reading class. During the summer some of the teachers from the school designed a reading class to help kids with dyslexia. The class was set up to help you overcome dyslexia. No you never get rid of it, it never goes away, but you can over come it. I was blessed by a great woman of God that taught the class. Mrs. Smart. I loved her. She had a humble spirit, caring heart, and loving hands. She taught me so much the next 2 years. At the time, I did not realize that God would take her life at young age. She was killed in a car accident in the late 90's. She taught me more than an education, she showed me TRUE FAVOUR in the Lord. She took me in as one of her own. Thank you Lord for her love and humble spirit.

God took me down a path at a young age that I did not choose to go down. I know now that He was shaping me to be more like Him. I went through some tough times. I was teased by kids because of dyslexia. My 2nd grade teacher even wanted me in a Special Ed class because of my inability to read. I know that God gave me strength to handle this, and put people in my life to show me the true meaning of FINDING FAVOUR in Him. Thank you Lord!
