Dear Calvary Staff. Grace and Peace to you all on the this day, "For this is the day the Lord has made-let us rejoice and be glad in it." "For I know the plans I have for you, declared the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11. If anyone would have told me these words after I walked through the doors of Calvary , I probably would have blown you off and God! I would think God was trying to punish me and my mom didn't love me, that's why she sent me here. I used to think Mr. Phill and Calvary were out to get me. I look at this word of Jeremiah now and they are so very clear to me. My heart has been greatly changed while at Calvary. I have come to realize in these 18 months that my mom did, does, and always will love me. I have come to realize Calvary was not trying to be against me, just trying to be with me to help me. I have come to realize even more that I can do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens me. Thank you for all the time and effort you gave me to help me become a better person. If I had not come to Calvary I would be dead in Christ and I could be dead physically. d sure has blessed this place with very caring people and people willing to go the mile for us. I have not agreed with all the punishment and all the decisions but I realize it is for the best. God does everything for the good of those who love him. I love him and all of you love him. I am a stronger person spiritually and physically when I walk thorough those doors. I can look at the whole world and not be scared or afraid. For I have my personal Savior Jesus with me, right next to me, willing to walk thorough it all with me. I pray that God will bless Calvary as more and more students come in that you can help them as much as you help me.
