I was just looking at an AVON book and noticed that they are promoting the regeneration of the skin through their skin care line ANEW. As I looked at many of their products it hit me how many areas can regenerated by using this product. ANEW actually means in a new form or manner in another words doing things differently.
Let’s get this straight, I am not promoting the product but I will like to share with you the power of finding a FRIEND who will help you REGENERATE as you go through the experiences that will leave you scarred.
We as human beings have the tendency of going through life almost blinded. We tend not to think too much what is going to happen in the future. We only plan certain parts of our lives. As we walk this journey of life we come face to face with the reality that we need some type of support to make it through. We begin to build our support system, our friendships and we rely on these friendships to always be there.
As we face challenges in our lives we either make these friendships stronger or we BURN our bridges with them. We tend to take the approach that all we need is ourselves maybe our husband and just a few family members but we forgot how RICH the experience of having a FRIEND is. A friend who you can share the process of REGENERATION at the end of a sad, uncomfortable, happy, and or exciting experiences.
Our church is going through an exciting period of its growth. We are experiencing new members become part of our church that are need of getting REGENERATED in many aspects such as spiritually, physically and emotionally. CAFELATE identified in our last meeting the need to create friendships within our church. The need to step our comfort zone and our prejudices and create friendships that will fulfill our vision of becoming and help others become TREES OF RIGHTOUSNESS……..We identified groups of friends that will begin meeting and getting to know each other in a personal level. Many of you might not find many things in common from the beginning but as we continue to converse and get together believe me we will find many things in common. We already have a few in common: we attend BETESDA, we like to BLOG(ha, ha) and so on….
Let me start by sharing my experience with one of my new friends. I have in my group Alexandra, Nani, Josie and Aura. I went to a salida that Aura went as well and we began to talk. During our conversation we begin to share some experiences and GUESS what?????????? Aura has three years of Theater and loves to put together plays and pantomimas. She has done a Christmas Musical and has an artitistic ministry. For those of you who know me well know how I am feeling about this already………YEAH!!!!
If you don’t know me well find out why I am liking this.
During the next few weeks lets make an effort to share sometime with our friends in the group and begin to BLOG how these experiences are going. BUT first please share who is in your group and what is your thought about building new friendships in our church. As we continue I will like to hear about those experiences.
STAY TUNED for the next BLOG on how to continue to ANEW yourself……….
LET’s stay connected!!!!
