I AM.....

Whatever comes after I am..... will find you! 

One of Joel Osteen's sermons included this idea: Whatever follows “I am…” will find you.  That is, when you’re thinking of yourself and you’re assigning adjectives to who you are, bear in mind that those states will find you and define you.  Or, stated another way, this is the reality about yourself you’ve already created and are continuing to create.


Here are some statement you might want to use to define you. 

I am beautiful.

I am confident.

I am secure.

I am blessed.

I am talented.

I am smart.

I am disciplined.

I am vibrantly healthy.

I am a contribution.

I am at peace.

I am connected to God.

I am approved 

I am powerful.

I am aware.

I am grateful.

I am wealthy.

I am solid.

I am here now.

I am good with numbers.

I am without armor.

I am brave.

I am victorious.

I am a brilliant spark of God.

I am strong.

I am a good decision maker.

I am focused.

I am excited about my future!

I am excited about my present!

I am having fun!

Now this fellow is a pastor and whatever your beliefs you can grab on to a piece of this wisdom and know that when you say things about yourself you need to be kind to yourself and not self deprecate. .. How wonderful to teach this idea to kids too.....

We are THANKFUL....

We are so thankful to our social committee for organizing a lovely end of the year party. Thank you for the fun! 

Thanks to the Dempster family. Yours is the perfect welcoming home and you both are the ultimate host/s. Thanks!

Thanks to Kim B who organized track and field and took over 40 kids with her. Kids loved their time away and enjoyed the adventure.

Thanks to Debbie and her resiliency  team for the cool kites we saw flying on Sunday. It was just the wind you ordered!! So many families enjoyed that activity!!! So cool. Thank you! 

Thanks to Tasha, Janelle, Susan and great salesman Marc for their time selling Chilliwack T -shirts, cd's and drum sticks. Susan's grade sixes got $150.00 for doing that. The money will go to the beautification of the area in between the post office and the old Marc's.
