Introducing : "Blessed!"

  Dear Blog Readers, I am telling you of a new small group that we have started on Monday afternoons for Teen/Single Moms!  I am so excited and yet me and my fellow YFC Sister, Jess would appreciate your prayer!  Our first time is today and already there has been some opposition!  During this creative and dreaming process, I have discovered that I don't want to just move ahead to meet a need without  God leading me.  I know myself and often I am motivated by people's need or even wanting to heal hurts in my own heart of how people very close to me have been treated.  This will be for the remainder of the summer, but if it goes well it could continue.  Here is a blurb that we wrote describing it a little more: Mom’s Time Out! “Her children arise, and call her Blessed!”   YFC is starting a teen mom/single mom group on Monday afternoons from 2-3:30pm starting July 20th.   This will take place at Richard and Jessica Giesbrecht’s home: # 9—526 Hazel Bay, Portage la P

I was whining to God about how everyone in my life seemed to be too busy to notice me...too busy to need me...too busy to validate and applaud me...too busy to spend time with me! (WHOA! Selfish much?!) I said, "God why is everyone too busy for me?" His gentle Papa voice then whispered..."Oh,b
