For the past few days i have invested time in researching church websites and fellow children's ministers blogs to see the benefits of communicating with each other- what service they really offer... The idea is to create something like an open forum for Cross Point members to help each other out with the spiritual growth of our children.
You know the idea, offer links and support and wisdom for and from each other. I have given it a lot of consideration and prayer and feel like it could be a huge way to build community within our families.
So while I get rejuvenated through working with a passion of mine I plan on forming deeper relationships with the parents of our kids at CP. However, I want this to be OURS. Not my agenda or my ideas and thoughts on paper for you guys to read and ponder.
I want the topics to be chosen by YOU and the format and the advice-- I even want you guys to choose a name. So lets go from there. I am planning on planting this post everywhere I know... I want Cross Point families to hear about this and be in on it from the beginning.
Writing has a way of calming me... gets the crazy out of my head and on paper and then i edit. I feel like the edit on paper has somehow counseled me. A lot of times its my way of getting silent before the Spirit. I make no apologies and am thankful that the Lord has room to move through the keys.
I hope that families can make a habit of checking in on this every day or so- to gain a tip, a verse, an inspiration. May the things we share with each other can get the crazy out and the Power in.
So comment. Right here, right now-- for now. I will use my "Going tHis Way" to sort of "test run" this idea. Comment on topics and a name to start out. Offer prayer requests also. I am really pressed to pray and want to mention that God WILL move through this forum if we ask Him---
Matthew 11:25
At that time Jesus said, "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children.
Isn't it cool that Jesus said he hides things from the big people (if we dare say we are wise and learned) and has revealed them to little people? Doesn't it make you really want to watch and study them even more closely? Let's get busy doing that then figure out how to guide these little wise ones the best way we can.
