How CindyLou Serves God's Little Children
Have you been called to service but don't know how to begin?
Sometimes it's hard, but somehow we decide to just let God lead the way. When we surrender to the belief that God will provide for us all that we need in order to be of service to all God's children, then miracles begin to happen. People come into our lives and bring resources, guidance and other gifts of grace. Serendipity occurs in ways we could never explain. Things grow, change and develop according to divine purpose.
Here at the seminary, we are blessed to watch this divine intervention in motion. We are blessed by the quality of purpose our ministers bring with them and wish to share their missions with all.
Do you have a plan of service or a ministry in the works? Share with us your thoughts, desires, plans and needs, as CindyLou has shared below.
The following is an email I received this morning from a very dear and graced servant of God. Please visit CindyLou's website to learn about her services.
Good Morning Reverend Barbara :
What a wonderful joy to speak with you this morning. You sure radiate through the Holy Spirit, my goodness your voice is gentle, kind and warm, I am sure God's Love radiates through all that you touch. It was very obvious by speaking with you that you truly Love the Lord. I am so glad that God guided me to you for my ordination paper work. This is a dream come true for me. It is something that I have wanted to complete for quite some time, so thank you so much for helping me out.
I am impressed with your statement about your passion for children. Glenn (my husband) and I became foster crisis parents in 1991 and shared our home with about 437 children during that time. Some children stayed over night, some for a week, some for months and some for years. Sheree, a young girl who came to us in 1992 stayed forever and became our daughter. Glenn walked her down the aisle when she got married and we were there when her first son was born. What a circle of life happens. We worked with multiple counties through Washington State and Juvenile Services and learned so much from the children. The trainings and schooling I attended through out the years have been invaluable as many children suffer from many different kinds of abuse. The children who are Fetal Alcohol are some of the saddest. Depending upon where they are on the spectrum of FAS, many have no conscience, and no cause and affect at all. Being attacked multiple times with some children removed from our home for the safety of others it is such a learning process and heart breaking at the same time. Children with PTSD(post traumatic stress disorder) are afflictled with such nightmare and such terror in their lives. Then there are the children who just really need structure, consistency, rules and firm love. We ran a boot camp for a couple years and are so proud of our results. Here children learned to pray, they went to church hopefully a SEED was planted. I may never get to see the fuition of that see but that is OK. You never know who the blessing is for.
In our quest to support and nurture children we have created a Rock N Roll Bike show that we do every year. The purpose of this show is to generate dollars for at risk children. The funds all go towards the Rock N Roll Camp. WWW.RockNRollBikeShow.com please check it out. It tells all about the show, the camp, and the volunteers who support the show.
Reverend Barbara I would love to keep in contact with you weekly at least. If there is prayer that is needed from your side please let me know. I have a great prayer support here and we would be happy to lift those requests up before the Lord.
Thank you once again.
Much Love in God's Grace
CindyLou
