Two quick things....
1. Totally discouraged that I got a call this morning from the DOC and the officer told me that there hasn't been enough time yet since I completed my sentence to file for an annulment... but, they're still keeping my $100. So, please be praying because I've decided I'm going to ask for a hearing. I'll keep you posted.
2. I was invited to speak at a local public high school - and tomorrow is the big day. I have no idea what I'm going to say at this point. I am not really sure what she is expecting. I asked what she wanted me to say and she said "just share your experience" I asked if there was anything she didn't want me to say and she said "nope". I know my story is my story, but it feels a bit different trying to explain it to teenagers in a public school.
I asked her if I could show my slideshow (the 'remembering Rachel' one) and she said yes and she wanted to know if it was ok if they asked questions and I was completely fine with that. I don't feel nervous yet... but I'm unsure of how to do this. I've only talked in public about Rachel at her walk and at her funeral... and I sobbed through both. I am confident that God has a purpose in this - and that someone in that room will someday know why they heard about a sweet baby girl named Rachel in their high school class. I hope I'll be blessed to hear about it, but even if I never do, I know that this is a detail in God's plan. I'll just try to follow His lead. Can you pray for that? It's at 1:00.
Thank you ♥
This will be perfect opportunity for Rachel's life to win a soul for the Lord, change and touch lives. She has touched so many of our lives so I know that she will touch the children's. I will be saying a prayer for you!!! For lives to be changed, souls saved, and strength for you!!! Sending (((HUGS))) your way!!!
