I did it once! It was amazing.
14 months ago
I actually forgot about my list here on 43Things, but after reading through it I realized that I did indeed leave some art. I had a colored pencil drawing of my favorite place (a lakeside dock) on a white ornamental kitchen cupboard. It was a gift from someone and I no longer wanted their “presence”, so my husband put it in his car to get it out of the house. On a camping trip, we realized it was in the backseat and decided to dump it. I took the door deep into the woods and found a homeless person’s living area. It looked like a long-term residence, and still fresh. I propped the door up against a tree, facing the spot but not too close for comfort. It felt rad, and I hope they appreciated the color and creativity added to their well-worn residence.
The purpose...
20 months ago
I would like a place where I can attend classes that are Bible-based and open my eyes and give clarity on various topics, such as how we should act towards the Trinity, why the Word of God is used to describe Jesus and the Bible, how to lead a life that glorifies God and edifies others, and create or support a movement (or two or ten).
Specific areas:
Women’s ministry
Various ways of studying the Bible, worshiping and praying
Christian counseling and education for:
– Adults->Singles->Marriage->Family relationships & parenting
– Teens
– Children
Program and ministry development
- Orphanage/ school
- Outreach program (America and foreign countries)
- Online?
- Support (group/one-on-one/relationship etc.)
