I thought, what if it’s true, did God really say this? Did I not turn my will over to Him, did I really mean it when I said Your will be done?” That was a problem. I was torn apart. I loved my position at the school, the money was great and we travelled every summer with our children. Scott was entering University and Kevin would soon follow. I felt that I needed the money, the comfort and security… but, isn’t God comfort and security? God and I had a talk. “OK God, I said, I really want to keep my job but if you want me out, make something happen. Don’t make me very sick please but show me the way.” Things got so unbearable at work that I just had to leave. I was the 7th employee to leave the school. Well, I had asked Him, and He made sure that I would understand, finally. You say yes to God so you allow Him to take control, a divine control, that is where you receive total divine protection, real freedom, love and care. Needless to say that, in 1993, I left my position at the school and became a fulltime volun- teer at Agape with the total support of my wonderful partner and best friend in this world, Rod. ELIZABETH WILLIAMS MCLEOD, WILLIAMS ELIZABETH Father Gerry has been celebrating Holy Mass in our Agape Daycare on Christmas eve for the past 25 years. April 1993, Rod’s dad, my father-in-law, beautiful man of God and my close friend passed away leaving us in shock and sad- ness. We soon realized that he too had wanted to be with his God. In June 1993, Father O’Rourke passed away which left another deep wound in our hearts. Father Cox did his best to help but Leo, Cliff and I really missed BOSS’s holy presence among us. Father ‘BOSS’ had been the chaplain of Our lady of Peace school for years and co-founder of Agape with Leo and Cliff.
