As Vonda served lunch to Rhonda and her family she asked “what do you do for a living?” Rhonda told her that she was an instructor to help women earn their GED (General Equivalency Diploma). Vonda had dropped out of high school and had thought many times about earning her GED. She found it more difficult to encourage her children to be diligent with their education when she had failed to do the same.

Rhonda encouraged her to come to the Joshua Resource Center………….Vonda thought it was too late in her life to do that and declined………….

One of the most wonderful experiences in life is walking into a house and realizing that it is yours.

This week we took our ladies on a tour of FCD Housing. The reason is to show the options that are available. Kelly Spears told the ladies that this dream is not impossible. You just have to want and work for it.

On our way back from the tour, one of our ladies told us that no matter what, she and her son would be living in a house that they owned. She said that seeing the houses, made her want to strive even harder to accomplish her dream. She is so determined that she started visualizing the furniture that she would have and the color of the drapes. Now that is seeing your dream and going for it.
