Have you kept up with your New Year’s resolutions? Do you get frustrated when you slip on those resolutions? We’ve all been there, right? Whether it is to lose weight, eat healthier, quit smoking, stop negative thoughts, or break out of a vicious cycle, it can be tough. It is so easy to slip back into our old ways – we know those old ways and they become comfortable and easy to slip back into.
At Redeeming Life Outreach Ministries’ maternity home, the moms who live there are not different than you and me. They want a better version of themselves. They have a goal in mind, a vision, perhaps a dream. Their choice to come to the maternity home can sometimes require them to change many things all at the same time. It can mean cutting off relationships so they can heal. It can mean choosing life when the world is telling them not to. The pulls and tugs from many directions can make it very hard for them to attain their goals, to keep up their promises and commitments. Just as we fail, they may also stumble and fall.
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong
and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be
discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you
wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9
As Volunteer Event Coordinator for Redeeming Life Outreach Ministries, one of my 2020 goals is to inspire Small Group Fundraising for this local faith based ministry.
Small groups can include but are not limited to: Book Clubs, Walking Groups, Bunco Clubs, Mommy and Baby Groups, Girl Scout Troops, Bible Study Groups, Tennis Teams, Golf Leagues, Motorcycle Riding Clubs, YOUR GROUP OF FRIENDS/FAMILY.
On a Sunday afternoon in March 2020 I am hosting 12 ladies in my home for “A Bunco for Babies Fundraiser.” Each player will donate $20. That’s it. Collectively we will provide $240 to RLOM.
We will have fun playing the easy fast paced dice game, enjoying the fellowship and reaping the reward of knowing we each contribute…
