Metamorphosis Was Honored To Speak At USC’s SOWK 534 Class October 7th

By on October 22, 2014   /   Speaking Engagements  

“We are products of our past, but we don’t have to be prisoners of it” are words spoken with potent truth in Rick Warren’s book: Purpose Driven Life. No matter how much we may try, we can’t escape the realities of our past but that doesn’t mean that we have to be bound to it, defined by it or limited by it. This notion rang true for Metamorphosis founder Alicia Cass, October 7th when she accepted the invitation to speak at her alma mater on the topic of abuse and how the department of child and family services responds to it.

Alicia, as I was praying for you and asking God how I could be a blessing to you for Mother’s day the image of a butterfly came to me.

The butterfly is one of God’s most beautiful creations. The cycles of it’s life that it must go through, to become that beautiful butterfly is so like the transformation of your life. So, my adopted daughter, I give you this Butterfly with love, because I know with God’s help you will touch so many lives with the love of God, as a Butterfly touches the petals of the flowers, the braches of trees, and the rocks in the stream. Thank You for
