September 2009 Ministry Update

Dear Family, Friends and Website Visitors,

Picture if you will, an amusement park with a variety of rides and attractions. Now picture an individual perusing the area, being challenged by its obstacles and rewarded with its accomplishments. That's the kind of craziness I've been experiencing this month.

It's rather ironic that the economy is wreaking havoc with the ministry it was intended to help. I'm finding that I have to exhaust different avenues and resources to attain my goals. But in the midst of all this came just the spark I needed.

I received a phone call from a student who helped work on My Ministry a few years ago. Both she and a fellow student [who also helped out with My Ministry] are High School Juniors now. They have an assignment for one of their classes to do a study of an "Everyday Hero in our Community". They chose me as their subject and to say I was truly honored is beyond words. I'm not sure of all the details yet except that the project continues through the school year and culminates in April with a power point presentation.

I would like to give you a little information about these quality individuals. Years ago, they worked along with their Junior High advisors coordinating a fund drive to collect items for My Ministry. They have continued to be affiliated with National Honor Society and Student Council through out their High School Years. Kudos to all they do to make a difference.

In closing, I guess I just have to say that with all the struggles this month, that phone call helped put everything back in perspective.

I hope you will check out future newsletters on how My Ministry and this school project are progressing.

Thy Will Be Done.

Blessings To All,
Lauren
