The Power of Friendship Conference ~ January 30, 2010

noreply@blogger.com (Rick and Colleen Monroe) — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 18:50:00 +0000

Power of Friendship:
It seems natural that with the New Year would come new goals and dreams. As I grow older however, I realize that my goals do not change from year to year but my ability to achieve the goals change. Like this year, I again desire to eat better and become more fit. However, this year I am perfectly content to watch my daughter workout with her Wii Fit game and do not have any desire to participate in the activity. And because my family life is busier and my work is never ending, I have no extra margin to fit in becoming more fit.
Regardless of the verbal support of my family, they would not be the ones keeping me accountable on a daily basis. in a daily way. We wake up together, try to eat meals together and say good night to each other but all of us are going in different directions. Love is the foundation of our home life but personal achievement is an individual responsibility.
For me, personally, my faith has not been the motivation to get me to change. My faith instead provides the inspiration to accept the need for change. I want to feel better about myself so I start thinking of ways to accomplish that goal. I have found that the peer pressure (or the friends) in my life are actually the motivating factor to get me to change. Peers are like deadlines dates. They both have the ability to motivate you to complete necessary tasks. Think of reunions or house parties or even going out, we all make a special effort to look extra good.
It is the same thing for me at work. It has not always been the inspiration of spiritual revelations that have kept me going. I really believe that it has been the physical tangible person, having a co-partner who has challenged me as well as encouraged to me to continue. We could become resentful of the peer pressure in our lives or we can be thankful for the power of friendship to change our lives.
Gossip, negativity, criticism, lack of support and judgments can cause anyone to quit because change can be too hard. Personally, I do not blame anyone for quitting. The world is filled with people who lack support, finances, encouragement and personal abilities to break out of habitually bad patterns. But I would recommend that they find a friend or an accountability partner to talk things out and get perspective before making any big decisions. Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 says, "Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls, for he has no one to help him up."
Sometimes, it is in the honest sharing of your heart that someone else can give you the wisdom to endure. Sometimes, it is the person who asks you, “How’s it going?” and takes an interest to ask, that keeps you speaking and planning and dreaming and going. That kind of support might not ever come from your family but it might come from a friend. Family members have vested interests in you for themselves…as a spouse or parent or provider or scheduler. Bill Bright, founder of Campus Crusade for Christ, said it best when stating that God has a wonderful plan for your life and everyone in your life will tell you what it is. But a friend’s expectations are different.
Just because we know we need to change does not mean that it will be easy. Just because others tell us that we need to change does not mean they can give you the tools to do it. Life can be confusing and tough. The power of friendship can cut through the random factors to keep you focused. You do not have to go at it alone; people have been pairing up for years. God is totally into fellowship, counsel, and unity and empowers us through friendship.
**if you are a woman who is lonely, depressed and feel isolated, please join us at the Power of Friendship Conference on Saturday, January 30 in San Diego, California. Bring a friend and make a friend. You will be encouraged and you know that you are not alone. Depression will lift and love will fill your heart. Sign up. You do not want to miss this one day event.

Faith and Works Ministry, San Diego

noreply@blogger.com (Rick and Colleen Monroe) — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 17:52:00 +0000

Faith and Works Ministry in San Diego is having this event at the end of the month. It is worthy of a look:
In A Minute of Margin: Restoring Balance To Busy Lives, Richard A. Swenson, M.D. states, "Margin is like oxygen-everybody needs some. If we have too little, we suffer from shortage. If we have too much the excess will not benefit us additionally. But having the right amount permits us to breathe freely. Margin is a space, specifically the space between our load and our limits. It is this space that enhances vitality and resilience. It is this space where healing occurs, where our batteries are recharged, where our relationships are nourished, and where wisdom is found. Without margin, both rest and contemplation are but theoretical concepts, unaffordable and unrealistic. Please join us as we explore issues of life balance through a lens that will ultimately enable you to be more fruitful, caring, and joyful in your daily work and life.
Date: Saturday, January 30 from 9 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
Location: University of San Diego Joan Kroc Center, Conference Rooms C,D
Cost: $15 (cash or check-pay at the door)

Presenters:
John M. Wheeler, Executive Consultant to CEO's and business owners and San Diego Convene Chair, John's extensive experience includes organizational and key leader development.
Caye Barton Smith, Psy.D., Vice President for Student Development, Point Loma Nazarene University, Caye has an impressive background leading health and wellness initiatives as well as personal insights as a busy working mom.

Joon S. Han, Founder Better San Diego, Joon has been challenging and inspiring groups for over 20 years seeing leaders grow from very busy to very effective.

Help Birth Choice of Temecula

noreply@blogger.com (Rick and Colleen Monroe) — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 05:11:00 +0000

Community Members are invited to help Birth Choice of Temecula to restart the Birth Choice Bargain Box Thrift Store for the betterment of this non-profit Pregnancy Resource Center and to help families in need.

Some community members may recall the Birth Choice Bargain Box Thrift Store that was open on Jefferson Avenue in Temecula, CA some years ago. With tough economic times, our client load is up 100% in the past year. Many families need material assistance for their babies and small children. There is an immediate opportunity to reopen this store and this non-profit needs your help. This store could do the following for the community and for Birth Choice of Temecula, a local ministry and charitable Pregnancy Resource Center:
• Provide funds to sustain the center during lean economic times • Provide for a 2000 sq foot space that can house a Thrift Store in an adjoining suite • Provide our existing and new clients more selection in their Mommy and Baby Boutique • Provide community families with another choice in discounted thrift store items. • Help us expand our Earn While You Learn Program for our clients. • Allow us the space to keep and give away more of our donated items from generous members of our community. • Allow you a place to donate gently used items that could be sold or given away in our new store.
Interested or want to donate, Call Jennifer Cartell, Executive Director, Birth Choice of Temecula (951) 699-9808 Ext. 105
