KidZone Rays Of Light

Im working on a bulletin board for my office....This will be the base of the board. Each ray represents an individual that I work with at Florence Ave Foursquare Church children's ministry. I think what is so rewarding is the very common thread we share in our passion for ministry at the church. Each one of these individuals is willing to go over and beyond the call of duty in serving in their area as well as many others. It is so rewarding to work with people with LIKE passions. I am blessed where I work. The SON is able to shine because of each and every person listed....God shines in and through them all. Thank you Lord for such special people...I LOVE THEM ALL!

New Year 2011 - Resolution - Blog Journaling

I probably shouldn't do this, and I'm not as prepared as I want to be at this moment. However a feel the Lord tugging me into posting this. Today has been a great first day of the year. The pages are blank and I need to fill them up. It's a fresh start. As I attend a Celebrate Recovery program I initially went for Co-dependency. I am now realizing there is much more to it than that. One of the recommendations of the journey in CR of daily healing is to journal. I really struggle with this, but when I do it...it really causes me to reflect so much back to me. I tend to meditate on the thoughts and healing continues. Like I said, I am not prepared at this time to write, but I probably never will be...because I also struggle with perfectionism in certain areas, journaling being one of them. So here I am, FINALLY making a post. It feels good already. I plan on having fun with my postings as well as indepth stuff as the Lord teaches me day by day. Im excited to learn on building this blog. I think its is going to be a good thing for me. It's kinda like my own little corner of expression, that belongs to me!! I like it. As I posted on FB today based on the Rose Parade theme: "Building Dreams, Friendships and Memories" - I really like this and will also use it as a theme too. I have many dreams, but life on this earth seems to be closing in quickly. I want to learn to continue to dream though - its important! Friendships - I love friends, but I still don't seem to have a best friend! It's always been hard for me, but I often feel the Lord has done that on purpose. Memories - important, because we often look back and build our dreams upon memories....we need them both. Then we need our friends and family to encourage us through those.I like it: Dreams, Friendships and Memories!! Happy New Year 2011 - let the journaling begin!
