4, My Kids, INC

I have made many adjustments to my life. I have had to deal with myself and my many mistakes and ask, am I ready for all which needs to be done? Am I ready to take on the goals I wrote down in 2009 and allow my experiences to help bring completion to those goals? YES!!! I have decided to bring back to life 4, MY KIDS, INC. One real reason, there is funding out there to help me bring all of these PROGRAMS TO PASS. Someone wants to see a woman OFF WELFARE and self-sustaining. SOMEONE wants to see children with a 2.5 or 3.0 ATTEND COLLEGE. Someone wants to see FAMILIES DEBT FREE.  SOMEONE WANTS TO SEE REAL PROGRAMS FOR THE HOMELESS!! I don't need to bash another person, organization or entity to help others or, HELP MYSELF.  I need to do what was in me in 2009 and not sway from that assignment.  As a faith-filled individual, I have more to do than sit back and talk about it. I'm ready to be ABOUT IT!  Consider supporting the comeback by ...

In this 7-minute video, Shelly talks about how you can help your children form positive beliefs that will guide them to live happy, confident and fulfilling lives. It's really just a simple but important technique on what to say to your kids if you're busy and can't talk. It's a simple technique that will help your kids feel good about themselves. I think most of us would agree, our beliefs are what guides us, determines our behavior and what’s possible for us in the future. The same goes for kids. Their beliefs determine their behavior. Their beliefs about themselves determine whether they feel confident or whether they feel afraid to express t...

It  has been a funny roller coaster ride all summer, and now that school is back in session, I am encouraged to know that it's going to be another roller coaster ride! I have watched my youngest son, create different things on the computer that are unique for his age. I have also seen him come up with different business ideas that he has also shut down, because there was no support from the would be customers. (LOL) I have watched my 16 year old son fill out job application after job application with no answer AT ALL, and get discouraged. So know, I am thinking, what do I do next for both of them? Well, the older one wants to make music, which is fine for me, just don't let me hear that darn rap with any curse words in it. My younger son wants to do it all and help everybody.  I think both are going to be great CEO kids. There is no excuse for any of my children to NOT be successful in the plans God has for them. It's just easier when they want it too! (LOL) I want...

Women are the foundation of many families. We have to make it regardless. When our "rib", not our back bone, when our rib is pushed and pulled and weakened, we can only lean on the Lord. Men, saved or not, don't have anything to be sorry about or take issue with; their wives and mothers have always taken care of business. Women are the foundation of many families. When the kids look a mess, people look to the mother. What isn't she doing right to keep these kids together. It's the foundation of the mom that stabilizes the kids. What is her foundation? If she is rooted in the Lord, she is still smiling. If she is rooted in the Lord, that "rib" will mend. If she is rooted in the Lord, her prayers will be answered. Still smiling. A woman of God's foundation is rooted in prayer, and fasting. Life style changes according to God's word. But, no ma'am it's not that easy. A woman whose foundation was not solid, that is getting solid ...

Either Tuesday 3/23 or Saturday 3/2 http://4-my-kids-inc.genbook.com/?bookingSourceId=1

I have a networking buddy, Yvette Newman, who is awesome in business and relationships! Below is her story about her wonderfully artistic and business minded son! Most of you all might not know me but I am a proud mother. My son Arnie Newman is very talented in art. He started out very young just drawing on paper. Then one day we started watching a tv show called Papa’s Land where an old man drew pictures. I use to take a vcr tape and record it and go step by step for my son to draw. As time moved on he went to school won 1st place in drug awareness poster contest. He even was seen at the fairs. When he reached high school He took all art classes. His talent was seen even more. Now as a high school grad he is taking his drawings to make a living. He is starting out slow with t-shirts, bibs and dog bandanas. He wishes to continue in his art studies as they have a art studio he can attend but the cost is 35.00 each training. Hoping with his sales of his items he can more forward i...

There are times when those in business or are trying to build businesses are at a crossroad and need encouragement. We are at that road at 4, My Kids, and are totally struggling to see the light. It is hard to try to help others when you can't see the forest for the trees. But, we have an ax! We are pressing forward towards that vision. My reasoning behind this blog is to help others stay on track. Never get discouraged or swayed in your goals. God has you just as He has us. No matter what people say about you or your business, expect to have haters. When God gives you a vision you have to keep working towards it. Stay encouraged.

4, My Kids, Inc has been in the background working on building the non-profit. We need to submit the application for the 501c3 and move forward in helping our clients. I ask that you keep us in prayer and pray for our progress. There is so much in store for our clients and the next year with the non-profit status. Bless you in advance for your help!
