When in a Storm Remember Your Why - How the TLC Foundation Pressed Forward and Continued to Make a Difference in Troubled Times.
Over the last weeks, God has been showing me the importance of asking and communicating the "Why."
We were devastated that morning, December 15, 2002, when we learned that our son Tim had been in a horrific accident and that he did not survive. Months that followed revealed a plan and a purpose for this life-changing event for our family.
Early in 2003, a new organization in Tim's memory evolved. The organization's very foundation became Isaiah 40:31, and our symbol, a soaring eagle. I never asked why but moved forward under this divine direction.
On February 16, 2003, the Timothy L Correll Foundation was born. Our mission was to strengthen the numbers of health care and emergency service workers serving Minnesota communities and to do this through scholarships and grants for firefighting, paramedic, and nursing training.
Some weeks ago, I learned the "why" behind this divine guidance. I never knew that an eagle flies into a storm and pushes forward in the forces that rage and will rise above it. Emergency responders and health care workers are like eagles when emergencies and disasters happen.
Then I thought about our frontline workers right now and their heroic actions in the battle against COVID-19.
The Timothy L Correll Foundation is in our 18th season of being in the business of helping Minnesota communities prepare for times of emergency. We have tried our absolute best to press forward with our mission even in hard times.
