But God had a different plan. Soon after giving her life to the Lord in 1988, she began to teach middle/high school youth Sunday School. She knew that was part of “her assignment” and felt God had a sense of humour. She has been teaching and mentoring young women for 32 years.

That “love story” of her and Reggie’s reuniting will one day be on the big screen.#teatimewithmissliz #makingadifference #perspective #director #playwright #actress #storyteller#motivationalspeaker #teacher #mentoring #schools #ego #livestreaming #liveshow #podcastshow #joinus #likefollowshareBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/teatime-with-miss-liz--5511005/support.
