Anita Robinson's SCwSG Story!

Director of Children's OutreachI was blessed to have a Mother that raised me in church so I knew of God at an early age. I have grown  stronger in my personal relationship with Him over the years. Diane invited me to become, Director of Children Outreach for Second Chance with Saving Grace. I have so much "work" that needs to be done in me that I felt very inadequate to do this. 

At a very young age I knew I wanted to have a family and take care of children in my home. I've said YES! because I know God has called me to work with children no matter how incapable I may feel. 

My Mother, Trisha Barton, introduced me to Dr. Diane Dike, well kind of... She was so excited when she was able to get Diane to come from Colorado during her latest book tour to little ole La Porte, Texas! Mom called and told me the news and asked me to check her website, so enjoy it I did. Mom had Emily with her for the morning and after watching some of Diane's Mystery Diagnoses episode I left to go to Wal-Mart to do some shopping. When I pulled into the parking lot I saw a little, gray dog and a pretty lady standing over her dressed head to toe in jackets, sweat pants, and a blanket ;).  

When I saw her walking back to the RV, I knew it was her! What a surprise!!! I found a place to park, got Kyle out and tried chasing her down! I met up with her in the produce section, called her name and Kyle glowed with excitement when he saw Gracie! I introduced myself and she was just as surprised as I was! 

We met up that night at my church. Diane got to speak there unexpectedly (God's timing!!) Then we went to a small Mexican restaurant where I really got to know Diane, Gracie, and Paul. They are so down to earth and I felt so comfortable around them. We have the same sense of humor and I enjoyed sharing some of my story with them. We had a really great weekend and going to our lake property. My daughter, Emily, had a blast! Diane calls her Emma-Louuuuuu. She LOVES them all Diane!! I got to see their joy for doing God's work first hand and they truly inspired me! 

I'm thankful to be on this incredible team and ready to serve with all my heart. I want to encourage other mothers with helpful information, fun and simple activities they can do with their children and help make SCwSG even more child friendly. If you have any ideas to share or want to be on my team please let me know! Thank you.
