Being Encouraged

I have learned that my businesses are a ministry unto someone else. It's not about what I can get and what I want, it IS about someone else and how I can help them. I am staying encouraged through my tests and trials. Being encouraged is not just for personal and spiritual fullfillment, it is to be a testimony for others. Being encouraged means walking the spiritual plan God has for you. Sometimes you have to step back and see where you are to understand your place RIGHT NOW. Ask yourself, where are you right now where you need encouragement? Are you in a place where you can't even see your way out? I have compiled a few scriptures and personal insights that you can use to help you see where you are: Judges 20:22 But the men of Isreal encouraged one another and again took up their positions where they had stationed themselves the first day. >>Sometimes where you were when you got depressed, discouraged, and SAD, is where you need to get back to, and pick yourself up. 2 C

Helping Families and Building Marriages

Okay, you may wonder what building marriages has to do with debt elimination and scholarships for teens; it has a lot to do with "cause and effect". If the effects of your failing marriage and lack of money for your teen to go to college is because of debt, you have a cause and effect that needs to be addressed. Married people have to focus their primary concerns on each other and their spouse's happiness. They need to focus on redeveloping the love in their lives to see the outcome of everything else: finances being the major reason couples don't get along. Communication on all levels of life are important to families. It's a strengthening that will help them get it all together. EVERYTHING! Teens are looking to their parents as the answer for their financial woes when it comes to going to college. I need moms and dads to see that they are responsible for understanding their teens emotional and financial needs. Not just their physical needs until their reach eigh

Successes!

I wanted to stop in and share with you the blessings that have been bestowed upon 4, My Kids, Inc. We had our first fund raiser here in Milwaukee last Friday, April 11th. We sold dinners to the corporate world and had a great "turn out". We will sell dinners again and we will hold other fund raisers that will make people aware of our organization. It is hard to see success through the eyes of the families that we are trying to help but we are encouraged by the support we are obtaining. Being in business, whether for profit or non-profit, is always a struggle. It's a struggle when there is a need and one business or individual is trying to meet that need. Thank you for your support whether it was financial or prayer. WE appreciate you.
