"Every man, woman and child has a ministry"
Start where you are.
Here is a simple and useful quote to live by: “Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can”. ~Arthur Ashe
We all have dreams… The question is: are we living them? and if not: what is preventing us and what are we prepared to do!
Are we living a life that counts, of course we are! However, are we making all the difference(s) that we’d like to make?
How about at home?
At work?
With our friends?
In our community?
Some more questions that we may also want to ask ourselves: What is our message? What kind of impact would we like to make? What would we like to change? And… do we feel it’s too big or too small: and why? It’s also important to ask: What do we want out of our ministry for ourselves?
Now, will we do what it takes? (yes!) What does that look like? Who will we include? Why?
So… back to the opening quote by Arthur Ashe: “Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can”.
You have dreams: Live them!

Please consider sharing your ministry with us. Thank you!
There is only one of you!
One And Only You
Every single blade of grass
and every flake of snow-
is just a wee bit different…
There’s no two alike, you know.
From something small
like grains of sand.
To each gigantic star
all were made with THIS is mind:
To be just what they are!
How foolish then, to imitate-
How useless to pretend!
Since each of us comes from a MIND
Whose ideas never end.
There’ll only be just ONE of ME
To show what I can do –
And you should likewise feel very proud
There’s only ONE of YOU.
That is where it all starts
With you, a wonderful, unlimited human being
~James T. Moore

Message in a Bottle
I recently bought a book that consists of 500 writing prompts while visiting a friend in Powell River. The first writing prompt was this: While at the beach you decide to write a message in a bottle. What would it say? Who would you like to find it? This is what my letter would say…
To whomever finds this message,
I don’t know where you are in your life’s journey; whether you’re happily married or still single, whether you run a thriving business or are struggling to make ends meet. The list can go on I know, but regardless of who you are, where you come from and what age you are, do know this: You are amazing! And you are fully capable of achieving great things in this life. No one has the power to belittle you or tell you what you aught to be doing because God has a purpose for you. His purpose for you in this life is important, so stop letting in the negative and turn those nos into yeses. Step out of your comfort zone and embrace new adventures. Reach for your dream and don’t look back. And most importantly, be yourself.
You are talented. You are worthy of love, respect and success.
Pay it forward by passing on this message.
