We are off to a fair start from nothing. I have been working hard at running the sewing machine, crocheting, looking for a job and looking for a place where we can have an office. This is not an easy task, when you are working with relatively nothing. I have contacted local churches to see if I can get a room where we can hold meetings, but, alas, nothing yet.
I am excited about the open house we will be having on the 18th of September. We are having munchies, meeting our board members and accepting donations to get the baby stuff
I was reflecting the other day on the spirit of the Holy Ghost and the promptings that we often receive and sadly, ignore. This has been a real blessing to my life as I see how God has allowed me to do something that is challenging, yet I feel so blessed. Via this course, I have met some interesting people and reconnected with some friends. Truly, this is a calling for me.
I feel the joy in my heart when I see the work that I have so far been able to accomplish in small corner of my craft room.. imagine what I can do with a real space... the possibilities are endless.
I am saddened by the loss of people on a daily basis, and feel that there is nothing that can be said to them to ease the pain at the moment. I learned that it is not ok to say "I know how you feel" because I do not know how THEY feel, but, I can empathize with them, and just be there.
It is not about telling people what they need to do, but, being there to help them with the basic things, and for them to lean on in a time of crisis. It is this vigil that will mean the most to them after they take a moment when it is all said and done that they will remember with a smile.
So, with all of this said and done, please, be aware of those in need... and give a hug when needed and space when requested.
Love P
