Sitting in this library under the fiction sign reminds me of one of my beloved mentors. The late grate Ms. Gloria Maxine Ragin. When somebody would do something that she just couldn’t believe, she had a saying, “Are you for real, or are you for make believe?”
Today however I hear myself saying this very thing to God about some new opened doors. Some of them are so out of my element or it’s something I haven’t done in over 12 years. So in my Ms. Maxine voice, “God are you for real about this or are you for make believe?”
See God has a sense of humor sometimes and the joy that I have today is one for the books! As I await for at least 20-35 girls at Loris Middle School to offer them encouragement and empowerment I Am in awe of God’s choosing me. Here I am Lord!
John Williams thank for the opportunity!
