THE CALL OF DUTY IN FATHERHOOD

Here are the stats to prove it:

According to the 2009 U.S. census, 1.7 million fathers in 2009 were single fathers. Of those, 8 % were raising three or more children younger than 18.

Of the total 30.2 million fathers living with children younger than 18, 85% lived with their biological children only, while 11% lived with stepchildren and 4% with adopted children (National Responsible Fatherhood Clearinghouse, 2012).

“Walt Disney told his crew to ‘build the castle first’ when constructing Disney World, knowing that vision would continue to serve as motivation throughout the project. Oftentimes when people fail to achieve what they want in life, it’s because their vision isn’t strong enough.” 

– Gail Blanke, President and CEO, Lifedesigns

What inspires women to lead and develop?

parents, children, siblings, friends,

the past, the present,

struggles that have been overcome,

battles that have been won,

a vision, a mission,

a call from God . . . 

Each of us has a motivation to do what we are doing. 

For some it is the voice of an elementary school teacher saying, "Some day you are going to be somebody important." For others it is a parent whispering (or shouting), "You can do it!" For many, it is a friend or a spouse cheering us on with a resounding, "You go, Girl!" Or it is our children determining (or threatening), "I want to be like you!"

Ultimately, though, it must be the Spirit of God who sets us on the path and guides us in the direction best for us. It is the Voice of God which speaks to our hearts and says, not just "Do!", but "BE!" It is when who we are becomes what we do that we are truly inspired!

So, what inspires women to lead and develop?

 other women . . . like you

Stay W.I.L.D.!

Songstress Ashley Calle

Songstress LaChandra Crosby

Sonya Boyne: Beauty is in The Eye of The Beholder

Our Beauty miniconference was . . . to be mushy . . . beautiful! The speakers,  young ladies from our community who have aspired to rise above, spent the evening inspiring others to do the same. You can't beat that!

The Beauty Team

The message of the evening: Do not let anyone in this life rob you of the joy you can experience in seeing yourself through the eyes of God. As one speaker said, "[Your critics] have human eyes. Their eyes are are inferior to God's eyes!"

Remember, as the lyrics to Little Girl tell us: 

"When you get up in the morning, 

look yourself in the mirror, 

and say, 'I love me!'"

Check out more highlights of their presentations, as well as pictures and videos from the evening right here and on our Facebook page over the next few days.

And get ready for our fathers' celebration in June and our Stronger teen girls' conference in August.
