“Expectations”
July/August 2007
 

My minister, Ian Nickerson preached about us as members to have “Great Expectations” for ourselves as Christians and with our personal lives. He challenged us to not except the norm or the standard, but reach higher and expect more of one another.

As single working mothers we are so busy with the hustle and bustle of life and raising our children that we do not have much time to really sit back, reflect, and encourage great expectations of ourselves. If you have a passion, dreams – pursue them to the best of your ability and expect great returns. Don’t worry if it may seem as something minor or major to someone else, it is what you deem as purposeful in your life.

Summer time is a wonderful and joyous season to do things you may have put off from earlier this year. After work, make some sandwiches, grab some fresh fruit, and head to the nearest park for dinner. Pop your own popcorn, bring a blanket and catch one of the FREE movies being offered in the Denver metro area.

Even better, we have some of the best local bands in the country and they are playing at a park or venue near you. This is yet another opportunity for you and your family to enjoy the fantastic days of summer!
