beginnings

Beginnings. Life is full of them, isn't it? Some beginnings end in disappointment and some beginnings are still taking place, while others exceed our expectations. One thing that I have learned is that you cannot live life without them.

"Your children will rebuild the deserted ruins of your cities. Then you will be known as the people who rebuild their walls and cities." Isaiah 58:12

Last week, our staff had a beginning ceremony. A beginning for an education center close to the future property. They were breaking the ground for what our hope and desire is in the future, to have a place where the children will begin to learn and understand the basics of reading and writing. Our prayer is that as these very underprivileged children grow and develop in the minds, they will begin the process of also growing and developing in the mindset of what God might have for them.

It is this next generation of children that will be rebuilding the broken gaps of the generation before them. They have potential to excel, to learn, and to even hopefully mentor the next group of children that come after them. It is these beginnings that are scary for me. There is so much that could be..... yet still so much of the in between that doesn't show itself.

I am excited though for what could be and with that hope, we move forward with this particular beginning. And B2B wants to be a part as much as we can of the in betweens...

I pray you take a step toward your new beginning today. I know I will.
