Pauline's Foster Care in UK
Donation protected
I am a Foster Kid. Yes, I am an adult now, but beneath my exterior is a foster girl who is still healing and coming into her own. I have a lot of degrees, visited many countries, am multi-lingual, know a lot of people, and have been afforded a lot of opportunities. But, one's success isn't just about the resume. It is much much more. I have been charged by God to empower and to equip Foster Kids like me with tools for #RealSuccess.
When we operate in God's will, and not our own, things shift. I submitted a proposal for a workshop at the International Foster Care Organization Conference (#IFCO2016) in Sheffield, UK, not knowing how I was supposed to get there, how I would pay room, board, and registration. I mean, they suggested crowd fundraising, but I am like, I just had a g o f u n d account & don't like asking folk for anything. The Holy Spirit has been dealing with me and my "self-reliance", and in this season I get NO GIVE. Like, every opportunity I attempt to do something in MY STRENGTH and not God's STRENGTH OR WILL, it just won't work, lol. The Holy Spirit has been flooding me through this #minddetox to just #TrustGod. To meditate on the things that are pure and noble...to ask and believe in the promises for my life.
But what does trusting & believing God look like?
Well, just two short days ago, I received an email from an amazing Chaplain I met while at the Global Chaplains Conference in Bendigo, Australia, that he and his wife had a spare room and food for me to eat in their home. I literally LOL when I read that email. It took time between when I sent the email and when I got the response, so I just said, maybe it isn't supposed to happen.
But what about the flight and "reduced" registration (they should have took off more, lol)? Wel, that is where you the reader of this message comes in. I have not because I have not asked:
Please give. My conference title is called "Real Success", an interactive workshop about what "real success" is and what it is NOT. Foster Kids need to know that their (I) dentity and Success are not measured by how many degrees or if they have a fancy Job Title, or possess a big house. Those are worldly standards and very very foolish. Why? It is those same "successful" people who commit suicide DAILY. Real Success is so MUCH MORE! Foster Kids are more prone to be depressed and mentally ill & the successful ones are often "overachievers" and deal with a low sense of self. The ones who serve them put a lot of pressure on them...and well, with God's words, and my mouth...it is time for folk to break the stigma and get back to the basics!
So, what now? Here is an opportunity to sow a seed into the ministry God is calling me to. If God is calling you to open up your heart and wallet to bring this purpose & plan for my life to reality.
The word is clear, we have not, because we ask not! Break those walls of pride and ego...even Jesus asked for help.
