Today Jess was the guest of honor at the Spaulding for Children Appreciation Luncheon. She was awarded the David and Jacque Holland Scholarship (which totals about $12,000). It was an amazing time! She had to give an acceptance speech and though she was nervous, she brought tears to many eyes including mine. It was very touching.
Mr. and Mrs. Holland sat with her and totally affirmed her the entire luncheon. When she was at the podium Mr. Holland spoke and then gave her a $100 bill. They both encouraged her to become all that God has made her to be, promised to pray daily for her and told her they believed in her.
I know that this is God confirming for Jess that she is in the right place and that HE will get her through. I wish that I could better describe the amazing sense of encouragement and affirmation that Jess received today. God is so awesome to provide this for her. She also received a Congressional certificate affirming her receiving the scholarship.
It was an incredible experience for all of us!
