Working it out...one person at a time.

I am working diligently to fund raise for my organization. It's been hard! The networks I am on at offering any assistance except verbal motivation. At this point, what I see, is a selfish complacency in business and in moral ethics. Why do I say this? God has taken me to a place in my finances where I have been totally broke. This is recent. I have had to suffer the experiences to see how to help others and how to help them effectively. I have been ridiculed for business choices in attempting to create this organization. Supporting my family has gone from a joint effort to my feeling single again. I say all this to point out that it takes a test and trial of one person to fill the need of another. If I didn't have my faith, I would not be able to see past the circumstances to the future on the other side. I am not one to boast about problems to get sympathy, or boast about the blessings to put myself on a pedestal. I am one that is taking the lead (From Pastor Ced Reynolds) to

Creating Families

Having babies does not create families. It starts with birth, continues with teaching, discipline, and love. How we raise our children, how we love our spouses, how we encourage each other is how create our families. This is where the break down comes from when looking at the results of our lives.

I can't tell you what it was like to live in slavery, or to be judged by my sex,etc.,because that isn't my experience in what the Lord has taught me in HI

Helping IF you WANT to

The motivation behinds 4, My Kids, INC comes from the mistakes I made as teenagar and as a parent. The bible tells me a lot, but I didn't pay attention, so now I am trying to get myself together. At some point, I had to realize that I made mistakes, and prayerfully, I can correct those mistakes and help others. I don't know how often you read the bible or if you do at all, that's not my concern. My hope (and concern) is that you will help develop these programs as you see fit. It has to be a want in your heart; a desire to see everyone succeed at life as you want to. It's a biblical concept; we can't leave the poor behind. Especially if we have an abundance, we have to help...it's not just a concep it's a command. Helping if you want to just means you are giving not to get back,but to help others. You don't need a spotlight on you to give (at least I hope not),but you did need to have it in your heart to give. We are holding online fundraisers and raffl
