I am fortunate to say that I was there to witness the birth of GRACE in the Beaumont area. Prior to this position, I often prayed for God to give me grace. He heard my prayer and LITERALLY rewarded my request. When I met Ms. Camp with her Houston Team, I immediately knew that this was my calling. I never doubted that I would land the Case Manager position. The black and white made center stage early on in my closet. I took that leap of faith without hesitation. I recall having butterflies in my stomach when I would attend a pre-hire conference. Resembling, new-love feelings when you ask yourself, "Can this be for real"? When Ms. Camp would speak to the audience, I would discover my thoughts as, "I want to be just like her when I grow up". I have the ability to recognize when I am blessed. I also have the wisdom to know when God is directing me. I am proud of those who made Team Leaders. NOW is the time to lead. Darkness cannot slow our appointed course because the Beaumont Beacons will radiate
