You are LOVED and there is HOPE

YOU ARE LOVED AND THERE IS HOPE

This is the theme of our 36th annual New Beginnings banquet. So WHY did we choose this theme?

Because this is the TRUTH for each and everyone of the gals that come through our program. We know that every New Beginnings resident is preciously loved by Father God. He loves them and their little ones so dearly (wether they know it or not), and we long to be the hands and feet of the Father to these women through our family centered ministry.

We also believe that there is a tremendous amount of hope for the women of New Beginnings. They all were intricately designed by our creator with beautiful qualities that make them totally unique, they have so many talents and were created for a specific purpose. There is hope of a beautiful future and a restored past. Our God is a God of restoration and healing and HOPE, isn't that amazing?!

Although the title of our ministry, "New Beginnings", was designed to reflect what we hope for our residents, I find myself discovering new beginnings here all the time. I came into this ministry wanting to let the Lord use me to bless others, but through that process He has graciously blessed me more than I ever could have imagined.  How amazing that he wants to pour out blessing on us just because he loves us!

We really hope you will join us for our banquet this year. It will be a beautiful time of reflecting on all the ways God has shown his love and given his hope through New Beginnings this past year. We are excited to share so many stories and testimonies of the amazing things God is doing in and through our ministry. We are truly blessed to be a blessing.

We have two BIG needs right now to make this banquet possible.

          1) We need table HOSTS

                     As a table host all you have to do is invite your friends/family! Table hosts do not pay                          anything for themselves or guest, all you do is fill a table with 8 people (yourself                                  included). We will give you invitations and all that you need to easily invite your friends                      to join you in learning about New Beginnings Homes.

          2) We need table and corporate SPONSORS 

       
                      As a table sponsor you are paying to sponsor the cost of one table. The cost is $400.                             You do not need to fill the table with guests, you are just providing the opportunity for                         more people to come hear about New Beginning Homes!

                     As a corporate sponsor you are helping support the New Beginnings Banquet as a                                whole. Corporate sponsorships start at $1000 and go up to $5000. This is a great way for                      your business to sew into the community!

A Blessing Shower

Here at New Beginnings we get to work with both gals who are placing for adoption and gals who are parenting. One of the very special things that we get to be a part of is blessing showers! For those who might not be familiar with a blessing shower, it is similar to a baby shower BUT its for women who are making a plan for adoption. So the adoptive family throw this blessing shower for the birth mother. The adoptive family and all their friends surround the birth mother to celebrate her, give her gifts, pray over her, and speak life and truth and hope into her life. It is a very special time and something we feel so blessed to be a part of. A few weeks ago we got to host a blessing shower for one of our residents, enjoy the pictures below and celebrate this amazing mama with us!

IT'S A BOY!!!

A few weeks ago one of our residents found out she is going to have a BOY!! We kept it a secret from the rest of the house and we did a gender reveal for her. It was a blast to put together, and we are so glad we got to celebrate with her. We are so excited for this mama and her precious boy.

Baby Bath Time!

On a cold rainy Washington day there is nothing more cheery and adorable than baby bath time! In the kitchen sink overlooking our cute little farm, one of our lovely mamas is giving her little one a bath <3 so precious and peaceful. We are always so proud of how our residents have grown in to amazing mothers to their littles! These precious bonding moments are part of why we do what we do! Enjoy this peek into our daily life:

A Walk in the Winter Sun

Part of our program here at new beginnings home includes working out! We love getting to exercise with our mamas because our ultimate goal is heathy mamas and healthy babies and exercise is a huge part of that! We do several activities for exercise, some times prenatal yoga, sometimes the gym, and sometimes we walk! Especially if the weather is nice :) so enjoy this look at our beautiful family walk in the sunshine!

New Beginnings~A Prayer

There is something about snow that reminds me of fresh starts and new beginnings. I came across this poem recently, and we used it in a family devotion a few weeks back. It is so perfect for New Beginnings Home, and really for each one of us. It really touched our hearts and I hope it touches yours!

"Help Me to Believe in Beginnings"

God of history and of my heart,
so much has happened to me during these whirlwind days:
   I've known death and birth;
   I've been brave and scared;
   I've hurt, I've helped;
   I've been honest, I've lied;
   I've destroyed, I've created;
   I've been with people, I've been lonely;
   I've been loyal, I've betrayed;
   I've decided, I've waffled;
   I've laughed and I’ve cried.
You know my frail heart and my frayed history -
and now another day begins.

O God, help me to believe in beginnings
and in my beginning again,
no matter how often I've failed before.

Help me to make beginnings:
  to begin going out of my weary mind into fresh dreams,
    daring to make my own bold tracks in the land of now;
  to begin forgiving
    that I might experience mercy;
  to begin questioning the unquestionable
    that I may know truth;
  to begin disciplining
    that I might create beauty;
  to begin sacrificing
    that I may accomplish justice;
  to begin risking
    that I may make peace;
  to begin loving
    that I may realize joy.

Help me to be a beginning for others,
   to be a singer to the songless,
   a storyteller to the aimless,
   a befriender of the friendless;
to become a beginning of hope for the despairing,
   of assurance for the doubting,
   of reconciliation for the divided;
to become a beginning of freedom for the oppressed,
   of comfort for the sorrowing,
   of friendship for the forgotten;
to become a beginning of beauty for the forlorn,
   of sweetness for the soured,
   of gentleness for the angry,
   of wholeness for the broken,
   of peace for the frightened and violent of the earth.

Help me to believe in beginnings,
  to make a beginning,
    to be a beginning,
so that I may not just grow old,
  but grow new
each day of this wild, amazing life
  you call me to live
    with the passion of Jesus Christ."

Ted Loder

It's A Winter Wonderland!
