Covenant House

Hey everyone! How's your Friday so far? The weather in NYC has been so odd. According to Apple weather on my iPhone - it says rainy all week. I think it only rained once!!?! Hey, I'm not going to complain....I need the sun, was told I was vitamin D deficient, yikes! 

On another note, every so often I try to volunteer through my church, Liberty Church here in NYC & one opportunity in particular has really interested me. Volunteering with the homeless teens at Covenant House here in Manhattan. A group of us go there every so often to mentor these kids, bring them hope, & to brighten their day!  This week we did a Creative workshop on how the kids could discover their unique creativity & how to use it. We were so blessed to have Etsy there to speak as well as Kristine Banasik. 

Originally I WASN'T supposed to speak, & the reason for that was, I tend to get NERVOUS speaking. I had only planned to answer questions & introduce my business to the kids. Turns out my PRAYERS were answered, I ended up speaking for like 7 minutes  about my start, my company & gave them some great tips on how they can get their own businesses started down the line. This was my first time speaking in front of an audience... I wasn't even nervous only shocked that I got through it......but grateful. We helped out with crafts & gifted the kids with items from MadeByGirl! 

I'm so happy that I was able to be part of this event - to be able to inspire anyone who thinks "they can't" - I'm there to tell them, "they can". 

 

Everything I have - I believe God has given me.  He has blessed me with talent that I didn't even know I had.  I always love to go back to this verse, which you can find in the Message version - "God rewrote the text of my life when I opened the book of my heart to his eyes". (2 Samuel 22:25)


If anyone out there is in NYC & interested in volunteer opportunity- feel free to email me.
