Well Day 2 was phenomenal. It is very hard to conduct a meeting with 3 children's leaders for an hour, so imagine what I was in for when we held it all day. Can we say ADD?? I prepared for my group early on. I went to H-E-B and stocked up on snacks cause I know I am surrounded by snackers. (is that a word?) Breaks would have to come frequently...I don't know if it's cause we work with children or what, but potty breaks are the norm. And as much as I love my team, they love to run off on tangents--just like children. I guess they are in the right ministry.
Our meeting time was great! We laughed, we shared, we dreamed. The vision that my team has is amazing. Let me say this: We are not only dreaming BIG for our ministry, but BIG for the church! They blew me out of the water with the ideas and vision they came with to the meeting. We are so excited about where God is leading and we are going to be implementing some new practices and letting go of others that we find are not working. We also took some time to do a bit of course correction and re-evaluate where we have had some mission drift. We are looking at C-Kids with a fresh mindset and ready to make an impact for God's Kingdom through His kids! WE ARE GOING TO RISK EVERYTHING to make C-Kids the best it can be.
I am so privileged to serve alongside Yadira, Micki, and LJ. They make leading and serving such an awesome experience. God has truly blessed our Children's Ministry with some awesome leaders and I can't wait as we Create The Future together.
Baby girl,
I am so excited just reading about your excitement and enthusiasm. I am so blessed to be your mom and I love your "girls" just as if they are my "girls" also. May God continue to use you and your team for His honor and glory at Cornerstone Church.
Love you lots,
Mom
