Day 4- Sunday

Today was a day of financial giving. Northstar Church in Kennesaw is one amazing church. We found a home at this particular church mostly because of how community focused they are. It is well known in the Kennesaw and surrounding areas, that if you are in need, you can get help at Northstar. They have partnered with so many different community organizations to meet needs and bring peace to the area. I decided to donate some of the money i've earned doing odds and ends lately to the church. Chris and Isaac also were excited about this, and followed suit. I let Isaac throw it all in the donation basket, to which he thought was the greatest thing ever. He started brain storming all sorts of ideas on how he could help out the community. It made me smile :)


I wanted to share one aspect about our church, and why I enjoy giving to support the various ministries. This is a portion of the vision statement at Northstar (www.northstarchurch.org)

Since Jesus helped people and offered them a more “flavorful” life, we chose the acrostic S.A.L.T. to present our VISION, which is to:

SEE people the way Jesus saw them,
ACCEPT people the way Jesus accepted them,
LOVE people the way Jesus loved them, and
TOUCH people the way Jesus touched them.


I personally feel that it is very important to get out in your community, where ever you are, and get to know the needs. It is a great way to get out of your own personal slump and see how others are living.


...I have learned how to be content with whatever I have. 12 I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. 13 For I can do everything through Christ,[c] who gives me strength. 14 Even so, you have done well to share with me in my present difficulty. Phillipeans 4:11-14


No matter where you are at today, full or on empty, I hope you will still take a chance to get out in your community and see what you have to offer, and do so generously.

Happy Sunday :) Heather
