What Is Volunteering?Volunteering is contribution of time, effort and talent to a need, cause, or mission without financial gain. Volunteers support our communities and add to them in their own special way using a wide variety of skills, knowledge, and experience. |
Have You Been Thinking About Volunteering?To make sure that volunteering is positive experience for you, it is important to understand what you expect from volunteering or your ‘motivation’ to get involved. Understanding your motivation will help you find the most satisfying role for you.

Why Volunteer?Volunteering has many benefits. It gives people self-confidence and satisfaction, social contact, the ability to use previous established skills and develop new ones, and a chance to follow their passion. Volunteering is flexible and fits around your existing commitments. Paula’s Hope has opportunities that range from a couple of hours per day to several hours per week or just one day per month and so on. The opportunities are endless! Volunteering can make a positive difference in your life and in the lives of others. Things to Consider:
And finally, people who volunteer report higher levels of well-being including mental and physical health, life satisfaction, self-esteem, and happiness. To those who frequently volunteer, volunteering has the power to connect us to a greater purpose and to the community around us. |

Passover and Resurrection Celebration is this month and there is no better way to celebrate then to remember the motivation of what our Messiah and LORD did was all about...
This is LOVE...by: Mindy Fair (blessed-is-she.com)
Have you felt the pain of rejection? Has your heart been broken by someone who was supposed to love you? Have you lived with regret over your past? Have you experienced loss with indescribable sorrow and grief?
If you have lived on this earth for very long you soon realize your heart will not go untouched. To live and to love brings the opportunity for pain. There is no getting around it. The good news is, there is hope. You are not alone. There is One who sticks closer than a brother. Do you know HIM? His name is Jesus. He loves you so much that He suffered and died for you and now is seated at the right hand of God interceding for you! JESUS KNOWS about rejection. JESUS KNOWS your pain. JESUS KNOWS your sorrow. Not only does He know about such pain, but He, Himself, has experienced all of these and MORE. The amazing, beautiful thing about Jesus is that He experienced pain, rejection, and sorrow by CHOICE. He chose to experience these things in order to set your heart free. He chose to suffer because of His amazing love for you and for me. No one would choose the pathway of pain. No one would choose to walk through the door of grief and sorrow. We all know, it is one thing to experience unwanted pain inflicted on us by others. However, none of us would intentionally choose to be broken and to be wounded. Who would do that? Jesus would. And He did. For you. For me. For the world. Hebrews 12:2 says “For the joy set before Him, He endured the cross… what joy could there possibly be in the excruciating death He suffered? YOU! You were His joy!! Joy which compelled Him to walk the pathway of darkness and to endure the suffering of the cross. He was filled with joy at the thought of redeeming you and me and saving a lost world. He knew you needed a Savior to heal you, to deliver you, to take your sins and my sins upon Himself. He went through it all so that He could write your love story. He came to rescue you. He came to save you. Do you sometimes have issues with self esteem? Do you sometimes feel like no one cares or that no one loves you? Turn your eyes to the cross and see His love poured out for you. You are so very valuable to HIM!! Because He CHOSE this kind of suffering, there is healing for you, there is beauty awaiting you in the midst of your brokenness. There is no one, nor will there ever be, anyone who loves you like Jesus loves you! At the cross, He meets you there and He offers extravagant love, forgiveness, rest for your weariness and healing for your deepest wounds. Place your hand in His…. His nail scarred hand and allow your heart to be captivated by His love. Will there be more pain in your life? More struggles? Yes. The difference is Him. He will give you strength and peace in the midst of your storms. There will be treasures to be found in your trials. He will never leave you, nor forsake you. He will turn all things around for good in your life. Your life of surrender will have purpose and meaning. But you must Choose. Are you going to hold on to your life, your ways, your sins, your pain, or will you surrender ALL to Him and allow Him to give you His beauty for your ashes? You will find His grace is sufficient for you. Look into His Word, get to know Him and fall in love with your Savior, your Lord, your King. Just as Jesus was resurrected from death to life, He can bring life to the dead places of your heart. |
How do I know these things? I know them because I have experienced His love and mercy in my own life. His forgiveness has freed me from the chains of guilt and shame. He has brought life to places that were dead. I have seen His power and love change hearts and turn brokenness into beauty. He has given hope where there was no hope. His love has captured my heart. My future is secure in Him, my prince has come and rescued me. He offers the same love to you.
Run to His arms, my friend, experience TRUE love…. say YES to the extraordinary love He died to give you and allow Him to write your love story.
For God SO LOVED the world that HE GAVE His only begotten son, that whosoever would believe in HIM, would not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16
