Author: Marianna Albritton |Come Climb Toward God: Are you hungry for God
Tumblr media
After high school graduation, I decided to attend Southeastern Junior College in Laurel, Mississippi. This small college offered a two year Bible Study program in addition to the regular two year basic college courses. Those two years of college Bible courses gave me a good foundation for further Bible study. Since giving my life to Jesus, I’ve had a compulsion to study the Bible and learn as much as possible about God. READ MORE

IT HAS BEEN about a year now since my involvement with the Dozier School For Boys began taking over my world. Kicking off the whirlwind was my need to get my hands on the school’s student ledgers. I won’t rehash the entire adventure but what I will say is that it took many frustrating nights online, several emails to the Archivist, the potential of an $600+ bill to get digital copies & finally an 8 hour round trip before I’d actually have what I wanted…Well at least a quarter of what I wanted!
  HAVING ABSOLUTELY NO clue what I was looking for, I spent the next several weeks trying to organize what I had. Almost immediately number of very distinct patterns began jumping out at me. The same sentencing judges over & over again, the SAME sentence length OR lack there of & a crap load of blank spaces; Specifically under the “WHEN/HOW RELEASED” columns. One would expect that any institution handling children would be required to keep detailed & accurate records of ALL of its charges, especially when it comes to their last known whereabouts BUT that would make too much sense, now wouldn’t it…
        THE INFO THAT I had gotten was only from the latest volume of the ledgers & didn’t even make a dent in the number of boys that had been shoved through the doors to be reformed. I knew there were hundreds OR even thousands of names in those books. I maybe had a few hundred at the most. By now, I had gotten used to what I like to call the “Hurry Up & Stop” method of researching. Basically I’d need specific info, finally get said info ONLY to start looking it over & promptly figure out that I needed additional material OR even worse, I’d need something entirely different altogether. In this case, I had just assumed that I’d eventually be making another trip to the Archives; That is until I ended up becoming involved with Bob Straley & taking over his website…And right there on one of the site pages was a link to the detailed, handwritten notes that WHB Mr. Andrew Puel had spent hours putting together.
Mr. Andrew Puel At The State Archives…Sitting In The EXACT Same Spot That I Did When I Was There!
      NOT IT!!
WHEN I SAW that link, I was beyond thrilled! I was finally going to have something reliable to validate what I had come up with! I had spoken with Andrew at Bob Straley’s memorial service & knew that any research he had done would be the best & most accurate info that I could possibly get. When the page loaded, it definitely did NOT show what I had been hoping for; In all actuality, it showed nothing but this:
    ODDLY THE INFO was missing! I started clicking on some of the other older links on the website & sure enough, there were quite a few that led to nowhere. I don’t know why it gone OR where it went, only that it’s not there. I tried not to get to aggravated, thinking that there had to be a hard copy among the thousands of documents that I have. I spent the next several weeks going through EVERY page, folder, digital file, etc. & found nothing. Bob kept everything, so to say I was puzzled that he wouldn’t have a copy of something so important was a huge understatement. I did another look through, literally taking out every piece of paper, one by one; Still nothing.
  Well Damn….
    AN EVENING IN GAINESVILLE
ON A FRIDAY in late February, I made the 3 hour trip to Gaineville. With me was a small black bag filled with what I believed to be the most important material related to the Arthur G Dozier School for Boys. I pulled up to a beautiful home, tucked back in a quiet sub division that was surrounded by forest. Standing outside was a familiar face, Mr. Bryant Middleton. The “Whitehouse Boy” greeted me with a smile & a brief hug before inviting me inside to meet his wife. Both graciously spent several hours telling their personal story of Dozier & how the WHB’s Organization was founded. They were both lovely people & I was grateful that they had been so willing to meet with me & be as open as they were. When we finally moved into the dining room to look over the things that I had brought, I began pulling things out. I yanked a folder out that had been wedged inside of my over full bag & a stack of papers fell out. The stack was stapled together & folded in half. I picked it up to see what it was & as I unfolded it, my jaw hit the floor!
    OH…MY…GOD…It was a hard copy of the list of missing boys! The same list that I had just spent weeks trying to find! The stuff inside of that bag was the stuff that I pulled out & reviewed quite frequently & there’s absolutely NO way that I would missed that thick stack of ledger pages! I slid the stack across the table, explaining to Bryant why I was a bit stunned at finding them. He thought it was strange as well. I’m not going to get into the specifics of my time with the Middletons in this post, although I will say that I’m very fortunate to have met with them. They’re great people & they continue to work toward keeping the future from repeating the past.
    WHERE COULD THEY BE?
OF COURSE THERE is minimal info on the boys on this list. What is known is that most were listed as escaped but never recovered. A lot lacked permanent homes OR guardians, so there wouldn’t have been any concerned parents wondering about the whereabouts of their lost boy. It should also be noted that the last place they were seen was the Dozier School for Boys in Marianna. That leaves so many unanswered questions; Could ALL 185 boys on that list have actually successfully escaped & moved on to a better life? Even if that did happen, would it be possible that NOT 1 single child ever be heard from again? I suppose it could be possible for some BUT for All 185? I seriously have my doubts & given the history of Dozier, I’d say that’s highly unlikely. Especially considering the significant proof of other burial sites on the school’s 1200+ acres.Whether or not they continued life after Dozier OR their lives were taken at the school, they each deserve to be recognized. I’ll let them speak for themselves….

“For the first time, a person begins to think about God in a personal way. Questions begin to arise in one’s mind about “how to find God, how to belong to God, or what does God want me to do”. This hunger is placed in a person by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit puts hunger for God in each person’s soul. God puts this hunger at some time in everyone’s life.” – Marianna Albritton, Come Climb Closer to God.
Climbing Closer to God: Are You Hungry for God? is a 2013 inspirational book by Mariana Albritton. This book is remarkably-written into seven chapters with a study guide at the end. In this book, the author shares her meaningful journey of forging a healthy and robust relationship with God and invites her readers to embrace the process of being a ‘growing Christian’ rather than striving to be a ‘super Christian.’  Albritton starts her book with these three essential postulates- ask Jesus to save us from sin, acknowledge that He died on the cross to pay for our trespasses all the time, and to admit that Jesus kept His and saved us.

4 Ways to Develop a Close Relationship with God
Tumblr media
4 Ways to Develop a Close Relationship with God
Come Climb Toward God: Are You Hungry for God? by Marianna Albritton is a powerful guidebook that aims to help believers understand the steps of growth as a Christian. It helps them discover the right path toward God. Marianna Albritton particularly wrote the book for those who are hungry to know and respond to His callings. Her mission is to help them understand the callings, and develop a close relationship with the Creator.
How does one start growing closer to God? – this is a question that budding believers of faith commonly ask. To be clear, there is no specific answer to this question. Developing a relationship with God is a personal journey that varies from person to person. Nonetheless, there are several common measures that you can do to help you begin your own journey toward God. Here are some of the most important of them:
Read the Bible
God speaks through His Word. He has given us the opportunity to know what He wants and needs us to do through the Bible. So, if your goal is to develop a close relationship with God, then the first thing that you need to do is to learn about His Word.
Read the Bible. Understand everything that is written in it. You do not need to rush, however. If reading the entire thing over a year or so seems overwhelming, then you can digest the Bible in smaller portions – reading at least one chapter or book each week already suffices. Reading the Bible is a good way to begin your journey toward becoming closer to God. The Bible is a great tool to help you get started and stay focused on your mission. It does not only help you establish a strong relationship with the Creator, but it also allows you to hear His Word with spiritual clarity.

Come Climb Toward God: Are you hungry for God by Marianna Albritton
The premise of the book according to Marianna is as follows:
“Are you hungry to develop a relationship with God?
Are you hungry to hear God speak to you?
Are you hungry to know God’s callings?
Are you hungry to respond to God’s callings?
Then this book is written for you. Throughout my years of teaching the Bible, I’ve taught to the “one”. So, I’m writing to the one who has a hunger to understand the callings of God and to develop a great relationship with Him. From the time I gave my life to Jesus, there has been a compulsion to know Jesus as a real person. How exciting this growing process is and has been as I have answered, “Yes,” to His callings.

5 Reasons Why It is Important to Put God First Every Step of the Way
Tumblr media
People crave for spiritual healing, although they may not feel it at first because their attentions were allocated to other things. It is evident that every person has personal struggles, may it be physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual challenges. Some overcome their personal challenges by identifying the causes and withdrawing themselves from the toxicity of life. Others, on the other hand, are stuck in their own personal hell because they cannot find an escape in their labyrinth of pain. But there is no such thing as no way out because there is always hope and mercy when someone will be just brave to call for God in everything he or she does.
According to Matthew 6:33, “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” Thus, “putting God first” may have different meanings and interpretations for every person. It can be seeking His guidance first before making a choice or it can be putting Him before your personal wants, emotions, and thoughts. There are many ways to be closer to God or to seek Him, it can be through reading the Holy Scripture, attending the mass, or praying.
For those who constantly needs reassurance all throughout the process of their journey, they may opt to read Christian books, such as Come Climb Toward God: Are you hungry for God? By Marianna Albritton, Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis, The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren, and more. Moreover, to get a better grasp as to why it is significant to seek God first before anything else, written below are the reasons why: Keep Reading...
