Hopeful for the future.

This evening I went to Friendship Feast at First Christian Church.  Friendship Feast is a free meal First Christian Church offers to our Claremore neighbors every Monday evening.  While I was there Pastor Charles was talking to a lovely lady that needed help with a utility bill.  While he was talking to her he mentioned the Getting Ahead classes and then introduced me to her.  We had a nice long visit during which she shared with me that she has a bachelor’s degree, a child with developmental disability and $93,000 in student loans and just can’t make ends meet.  She filled out a Getting Ahead class application and is very hopeful for the future.  I’m very hopeful for her future too!
