4, My Kids, INC

4, My Kids has been working deligently to build an organization to help families get out of debt and provide scholarships. This has been a rough year for all in the economy, but as a Child of God, I know HE holds us in his hands and will bring us out! With that, and with the direction of the spirit, I will not stop trying to create awareness in the Milwaukee area and soon around the U.S. about the financial needs of others. The 4, My Kids Basic Tee fundraiser is a basic black t-shirt for a great price for the holiday. This t-shirt is a wonderful "ad" for what we are trying to do as a whole. The t-shirt for sizes S-L is $6.00 and for sizes Xl-XXXL is 8.00 plus shipping. Orders can be placed by paypal using ckqgifts@sbcglobal.net This is a great time to help us help others. We will add all persons or businesses to our database for future events or fundraisers. Thank you in advance for your support!

4, My Kids is pulling the reigns again. This time, it is with spiritual direction and discernment! I am offering a free spa day for 20 women in the Milwaukee area; the spirit told me to! Free is good and free sheds light on others that aren't usually shed in day to day life. I am so happy to do this for the women that were chosen. I may have another day in December; we will see as the spirit moves. God has brought people into my life that don't mind sharing of themselves and their businesses..it has been a true blessing. I want to thank the following people for their donation to the gift bags: Charles Johnson Brian Francis Sabrina Walker Mirdza Hayden God bless the ministry!

I asked the spirit to lead me to help others and I went to biblegateway.com and found these scriptures.....we need to be a constant HELP, in peoples lives everyday.... Proverbs 17:17 A friend is always loyal,and a brother is born to help in time of need. Proverbs 30:8 First, help me never to tell a lie.Second, give me neither poverty nor riches!Give me just enough to satisfy my needs. Ecclesiastes 4:9 Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed Ecclesiastes 4:10 If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble.

This ball will be the first and last of its kind! We are looking to help all students attend college. These students are platinum students whether they have a 4.0 or 2.0 grade point average. The events leading up to the grand ball will help award each participant a scholarship for the 2009-2010 academic year. Still in the planning stages, this event will prove to be beneficial to all involved, including the sponsors and the community. We pray all who want to take part in this event, wil,l and share it with their friends. The criteria, thus far, to be a Platinum Student for this event is to be a member of a church, express the financial need to attend college and grade point average less than 4.0. There are sponsor and advertising packages available. Please see http://4mykidsinc.bravehost.com

I should have written this for Father's day, but it was not put on my heart until now.

Following up from the post from yesterday, I am excited to share some news with you. 4, My Kids, Inc is starting a "Jar Savings Account" through C.K.Q. Gifts This "Jar Savings Account" will allow any person to donate an in kind donation to 4, My Kids, Inc to help establish any and all programs. This non-profit organization is still in the process of making an impact in the Wisconsin area, but impact just the same. The concept behind the "Jar Savings Account" goes hand in hand with the original concept for starting 4MK,inc...giving the way the Lord intended. Giving is from the heart and soul...a soul inhabited by the Holy Spirit. Even in the tough economic times we are in, .25 cents a day to help a family who can't help themselves, right now ,is a great incentive for them to get going.

No, this is not a joke. What would you do with .25 cents right now? I would put it in my purse until I had another quarter for soda at work. I might give it to the little girl down the street so she can have a bag of chips. Or I might start a "cabinet" savings account. No, it is still not a joke. I was just reading TD Jakes' book Reposition Yourself: Living Life without Limits. In this particular chapter, Bishop Jakes reminded us of how our grandmothers had a savings account on a shelf in the cabinet in the kitchen. Most of you may be familiar with that type of banking. With whatever spare change, left over grocery money, etc., Granny would put it in a jar for a rainy day emergency. Some of us have rainy days and emergencies every hour of every day. For me it is a coca-cola, for you it might be advertising cost or gas money. Either way, if you had .25 cents, everyday, to put in a "cabinet" savings account, would you? If so, what would keep you from going into th...

Children are a blessing in our lives and need to be considered and treated as such. They are the helpers of our futures. They are IT ladies and gentlemen, what are you doing to help them grow? If you are not doing anything, take the kid by the horn and start something new! (end of the school year is approaching) 1. Purchase educational books. **have them work on them daily, either in the morning or in the night. 2. Take creative field trips. ** either walks in a park you have never been to ** museums in another city ** or city hall (take a trip somewhere that provides education and creativity of the mind) 3. Give them projects to do daily. **younger children can make cards for any body, any theme **younger children can start a scrap book to be finished by the end of summer doing one page at a time. **older kids can join clubs (especially investment clubs, etc) 4. Have them watch a news channel on cable they have never watched before. **ask them to give a report about what they heard is...

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...

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...

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.

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...

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. There are choices we make that may KILL us in the long run. Basically, as parents, we have to look at what our responsibility is in the results of our kids. Let's start with a little command that God gave us in the new testament: Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord. Ephesians 6:4 It's not about our learned experiences (my experiences in life are a testimony in them selves), but it's about what we have learned from the Lord to teach us to do better. 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...

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...

Families as a whole are struggling to do what is right for their children. Single moms are the ones that started the phrase "It's not about me, just my kids". When I was single, I did everything for my kids. I started my businesses because of my 3 wonders of the world. I thought marrying a wonderful family man would benefit my children too, and in the long run, it did. Logically, at the time, it wasn't about ME, ever..it was about my children. Now that I have four with my extended family, I am pushing towards a goal that will help them well after I am gone. You can read about my testimony later. In my organization, we are praying that families are helped by the sweat from OUR backs for their children. It's not about paying off their credit cards or getting their household bills current and that will be all; it's about changing the way these families look at their finances and how they take care of them. I too have been in a situation where I let my finances ge...

I am sharing with all of my readers how I am getting the word about the organization. It is taking a lot of effort on my part to hear from the Lord and get it all together. I am struggling to know that this is what GOD wants, but I am not stopping to help a family or a child! If you, your company, or friends, would like to help this organization get the word out about it's programs, please send them to these places: http://www.squidoo.com/4mykidsinc http://www.ckqgifts.biz http://www.ryze.com There will be many fundraisers in the summer, on and offline auction events and "field" trips to help build these programs! Thank you in advance for helping to get the word out! Blessings.

Families are having tough times right now. Whether they are millionaires or living pay check to pay check. Hey, single parents on welfare are having troubles too. (Yes, they are still people too) Families that are struggling financially are still trying to make it with the grace of God. These families are looking up for a way out. I believe that the organization that I am creating will help them with that way out. No, they were not looking up to me, but the Lord put in on my heart to create this program and move forward in my venture. Can I say that when I open my mouth about my businesses, it's not about me, it's about the people that I can help? So this non-profit organization is no different. I have put my foot in a place to help others in my community the same way people have helped me. I pray that THEY see my vision as God has. Although, I don't call this a spiritual ministry, it will be spiritually enlightening for all those involved. Functionally Financially is what...

Children today are not getting the full education they need to make it in the world. The high school curriculum is changing to eliminte the "extra" classes needed to build creative minds and voices! 4,My Kids, Inc is being established to create scholarships for teens that will help them go to college and "get" more out of life. Whether a teen wants to start a business, be a doctor, lawyer or nurse, we are creating an opportunity for a child to do that right now! It takes time to develop the programs or criteria needed to get a scholarship. With creating programs we are looking for monies! I prayer is that someone will see the need for everyone to get an education despite what they have been through or where they live. In developing these programs, we are creating jobs. The jobs are needed in our area to keep people motivated about life and the crime down. Spiritually, teenagers need support that is more than average. They need the type of support that lets them kn...
