I remember I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior - that decision totally changed my life. And it was life changing. My son at the time would turning five soon and would be getting ready to start school. I wanted the best for him, and a place where he would be loved and taught the Word of God. That place was Manhattan Bible Academy in the city. I researched it, prayed about it and enrolled him - praying each month that I would be able to make the payments.
It was a wonderful school with wonderful teachers... one of those teachers was Diana Joseph. She was kinda sort of a big woman - and she loved to give hugs... I can remember her hugging Ben and him disappearing into her arms. She was a loving teacher, but a tough one, she didn't play games. But she loved the kids. I remember how she would pray with me often, encourage me and always sharing scripture with me.
I know its a joyful time... because I know she is with the Lord... but my heart hurts because she was a very special woman and teacher and I can vividly see her smiling at me and telling me it was going to be okay. And you know - it was okay...
You will be missed....
