The Pregnancy Journey & The Importance of Support

7/12/2018

1 Comment

 


I really cannot seem to think of a clever way to share this, so I will just come out and say it: My husband and I are expecting a baby! Our precious gift will arrive just in time for Christmas on December 24, 2018. This is the first time in New Beginnings history that a director of the home has been expecting – the Lord knows I am always up for a good challenge.

​The experience of becoming a first-time mother has put a lot of things into perspective for me. It amazes me how our bodies react to the baby growing inside us: morning sickness (that name is so deceiving), sore boobs, bleeding gums, stuffy nose, headaches, itchy legs, utter exhaustion, and so much more. I really had no idea how difficult it could be! With symptoms like these it would be so difficult not to have the support of someone you love. My husband has been my rock through this experience: he has taken on extra chores around the house (including emptying the litter box *I was thrilled to give that up*), cooked for me, listened to me complain, and helped me when I felt sick. The fact that many of the mothers that come to New Beginnings do not have support from anyone when they call us breaks my heart now more than ever.

​New Beginnings is such an important piece to the family puzzle. Not only do the mothers know that God loves them and their baby, but they know that they can rely on us to hold their hand when they are scared, help them when they are sick, and listen to them when they need to talk. All the other benefits and program components aside, this is a piece I am sure they will never forget. I certainly will never forget the support that I have had.
Picture

​My husband and I cannot wait to meet our little boy or girl. The milestones that are coming up are so exciting! I recently started my second trimester, we will be finding out the gender soon (can’t wait), and I am excited to feel the baby move for the first time. When we hold our precious gift in our arms for the first time, I know that I will forget all about how sick I have felt. I know the mothers at New Beginnings experience the same joy and awe when their babies are born. We are all thanking God right now for blessing us with our little humans, and also thanking him for surrounding us with supportive friends and family.
Please continue to pray for all mothers that they may find the support they need both in Jesus and through friends and family. For those of you who currently support expecting or new moms, on behalf of all mothers I would like to say THANK YOU! You are a blessing.

I was working but I couldn't make ends meet.

Like many of our mothers, Kim had been struggling to provide for herself and her son.  Coming to New Beginnings meant Kim could focus on her education with Christian love and support.  Upon moving in, Kim began exploring a career in medical billing and coding.  "New Beginnings is a chance to continue my education.  I will be able to have a career and a family.  It's a new outlook on life.  It's a new beginning."
Picture
Many of our mothers, prior to coming to New Beginnings, did not have the opportunity, Christian encouragement, or resources to continue their education.  One of the best books I have read is called A Framework for Understanding Poverty written by Ruby Payne.  The author illustrates that poverty is often a result of a lack of resources, and that education can change the current prevalence of poverty.  In fact, she goes on to say, "An education is key to getting out of, and staying out of, poverty."  Education has the potential to break the cycle of poverty.
However, there is a caveat.  More than 20 years of experience has shown us that mothers will often doubt their ability to continue their education because life events have eroded their self-confidence.  As we know, self-doubt is a tough feeling to overcome, but by centering the focus on God's love for us, mothers learn that with Christ anything is possible.
We know that the educational attainment of a mother predicts the educational attainment of her child.  For this reason, New Beginnings maintains an education fund in which we help mothers pay for the cost of tuition, school supplies, laptops, and transportation to school.  Your gifts are life-changing for the mothers – they are finally given an opportunity to succeed with God by their side.  To help your gift go further, the Siebert Foundation will match gifts given to education dollar for dollar.
Picture


​Because of your gifts, Meosha walked across the graduation stage and received her high school diploma.  She was so happy to receive her diploma and move onto higher education.  Afterwards, she made a promise to herself that she would give her daughter the opportunity for a good education just like she had while at New Beginnings.



​​Letisha recognizes the importance of education and is thankful for the opportunity that your gift provides to her and many others.  She says, "Education is very important and since coming to New Beginnings it has given me the platform, motivation, and structure to go back to school."
Picture


​Sharing the gift of education and Christ's love is key to breaking the cycle of poverty for mothers just like Kim, Meosha, and Letisha – even more than that, your gift breaks the cycle of poverty for generations to come.
  Will you prayerfully consider a gift today?
Give Education Gift Here
Thank you for supporting life-changing work.  The mothers' accomplishments are a result of your gifts, and each mother is grateful for the opportunity to break their cycle of poverty.

You're different? that's cool - let's be friends

 Well there is no better way to start a blog post than with a quiz!

I hope I didn't scare you away. Are you still there?  If so, stay with me. I promise this quiz is easy – all you have to do is make a mental check next to the statements that apply to you. 
Picture
​You might be wondering why I am so curious to learn whether you know how to get a library card. The purpose of this quiz is to illustrate a point. If you are falling more into the purple box, odds are you grew up in generational poverty. If you are falling into the green box, more than likely you grew up middle class. Some of us might assume everyone knows how to get a library card – seems easy enough. The reality is that if you don’t know how to do some of the things in the purple box, you cannot possibly expect others to know the hidden rules of middle class.  As you may have guessed, there is even a different set of “hidden rules” for wealth - all of which I did not know (but we won’t get into that)! 
Picture
​When I started New Beginnings in Milwaukee in 2014, I was surprised to learn all of the hidden rules associated with poverty. It was at that time that I recognized how many hidden rules we have in middle class. Both cultures have different rules, but that is not to say that one is better than the other. One of the keys to understanding one another, whether from another culture or not, is by forming relationships. In fact, it is by relationships that we can change lives. 
​As Christians, we aim to meet people where they are at, and build our relationship with that person both interpersonally and emotionally. More importantly, we take that relationship a step further by sharing the saving message of God’s grace. Life isn’t always about understanding one another fully, but rather about forming relationships and meeting people where they are at. We don’t have to understand all of the hidden rules, but we should aim to acknowledge them. Let’s not always expect everyone to be like us, let’s not jump to conclusions about who they are, and let’s not judge on the basis of having little or having lots. When we do those things, we lose out on unique opportunities to help others grow (and probably grow ourselves too). 
Form relationships, share knowledge, share Christ, and through that power, change lives. 
I encourage you to form a relationship with someone who differs from you in some way. I can assure you that a relationship built on the foundation of Christ is never in vein.

random acts of kindness

1/4/2018

0 Comments

 
​Have you shown kindness to others recently? A few weeks ago, I went through the Starbucks drive-thru for my daily dose of caffeine. When I reached the window to pay, I was told that the woman ahead of me already covered the cost of my coffee! I was so astonished by her kindness that I passed that joy along to the next person in line. I was hoping that the acts of kindness continued in the same way all day.
​Did you know that research suggests showing kindness
​
to others increases a person’s level of happiness? These findings certainly can be one reason to be kind to others, but one’s own happiness ignores the reason why we are compelled to show kindness to others – even undeserved kindness. We love because Christ first loved us (1 John 4:19), and Christ’s love produces fruit which ultimately compels others to love and be kind; hence the saying, “Spread the love.” After all, love and kindness are two of the fruitful attributes mentioned in God’s Word as followers of Christ, “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control” (Galatians 5:22-23). 
Picture

​

At New Beginnings, the mothers and staff are overwhelmed with kindness and acts of love. I know that often the acts of kindness are the result of God’s love and grace that compel others to share that gift. In this issue, we want to share with you just a few of the acts of kindness and love that individuals have shown the mothers and babies at New Beginnings these last few months. I hope that, like me, you are compelled to show love to others through your actions in your home, your community, and in your church as expressions of love for Christ and his redemptive work. What act of kindness will you show to another person this week?
​Tell us by commenting below! 

​“Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth” (1 John 3:18).

Here We Grow... Through a Transformation in Christ

12/6/2017

​New Beginnings recently finished the boutique design project, and we are thrilled that it is finished! When I suggested that we transform our dingy basement into a beautiful, welcoming space, I failed to consider two things. The first is how difficult and time-consuming it would be, and the second is how much patience I would need to see the project through to completion.
Picture
​Can you picture me in a paint suit over my business casual clothes, with a paint sprayer in hand and a paint mask and goggles strapped around my face? The first step in the boutique design project was to paint the ceiling black, which involved using a paint sprayer. As a go-getter, I figured I could do it myself, but I was very wrong! In about two minutes, paint sputtered everywhere, and I seemed to be doing more harm than good. Ultimately, we had to hire a paint expert to fix my mistakes. The design project was long, and sometimes tedious, but with the help of volunteers we completed the project. The result was a beautiful, transformed space.

Picture
Getting down to the Nitty-Gritty
Picture
The boutique design project reminds me of how we often approach trials and tribulations in our life; sometimes we try to accomplish everything on our own without patience. God makes it clear that not everything happens overnight when he says, “But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently” (Romans 8:25). At other times, we turn to worldly solutions, rather than focusing our eyes on Christ. Pastor Bob Fleischmann often says, “Our problems are not horizontal problems between you and me, but instead they are vertical problems between you and God.” I think this is a great way of illustrating what God is saying in Acts 4:12: “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved."


​​At New Beginnings, mothers experience a process of transformation as they learn to filter the challenges of life through faith in Christ who gives them their eternity. Seeing this transformation happen is nothing short of amazing, and the reason why New Beginnings exists. One mother spoke of her experience in a previous blog.  She has begun to put God first and has realized the importance of seeking him! With prayer and patience, we are so blessed to see mothers transform through Christ at New Beginnings. Please continue to pray that the mothers and children here may be brought close to God through the blood of Christ.

tough love

9/7/2017

​I still remember the first time my parents demonstrated tough love. I was about 5 or 6 years old, and I absolutely loved making mud pies in the backyard. You know, mix some dirt, water, grass, leaves, and sticks in a bucket like a mud pie! Other kids did this too, right? In any event, my dad disliked the fact that when I was done mixing my mud pie that I would dump it all over the lawn. What a mess! He told me not to make any more mud pies and that if I did there would be consequences. Can you guess what happened?

​....I know the suspense is killing you....

 I made another mud pie, and this time my dad caught me mid-stir. This marked the first time that I was “grounded.” I do not even remember what “grounded” meant for me at five years old, but I do remember that I never made a mud pie again after that. 
Picture
​Why does this matter? Well, I am using this story to illustrate a point. Tough love works. It is difficult for a parent to do, but it is a necessary learning tool for the child. Tough love does not just apply to children; it applies to us as well. We see numerous examples of the consequences of choices in the Bible – the most obvious, of course, is the story of Adam and Eve (Genesis 3). Additionally, the story of David and Bathsheba also illustrates this point very clearly. If you recall, (long story short) David saw Bathsheba from afar and made the choice to sleep with her.  Bathsheba became pregnant, and David did everything he could think of to cover up his sin. As a result of his sin, Bathsheba’s husband was killed, and David’s son died as a consequence for his actions (2 Samuel 11 & 12). 
​At New Beginnings, the most difficult part of our job is to demonstrate tough love. The mothers come to New Beginnings for a reason – they need a new start for themselves and their child. Often times, the mothers who need us, need us because of some of the poor choices they have made in their past. As a part of preparation for a life centered on Christ’s love, we must demonstrate His love, which sometimes consists of tough love. Please continue to pray for the mothers and children at New Beginnings. 
We pray that God provides each mother with the strength and resilience to overcome her past, and live a fulfilling, Christ-centered life.

gifts & talents: a focus on the positive

8/2/2017

 “What gifts and talents do you have that contribute to the success of the work you do?” 

​This is a question I asked my staff at a recent brainstorming session. Often times, in this competitive world, we tend to focus on the negatives. What needs improvement? How can we do better? How can we avoid this mistake again? Let me tell you – this can get exhausting! As staff members at New Beginnings, we are often forced to contend with tough situations and daunting tasks, but despite all of that, each of us brings a unique set of gifts and talents to the ministry. In other words, God placed us all in our positions for a reason.
​Because God has placed us in our positions, it is important to take some time to focus on the positive. Focus on what we do right. So, I asked everyone: “what gifts and talents do you have that contribute to the success of the work you do.” I was surprised to hear that some staff members had difficulty coming up with a list of gifts and talents that they possess. Ultimately, everyone gave a short list with the top gift being “a genuine care for others.”  (Whew! it seems like we are all in the right profession!) Some of the other gifts that we came up with were nurturing, ability to set boundaries, visionaries, and genuine. 
​I think this is a good list, but I see so much more: 
Picture

​In Christina, I see the ability to relate to others, someone who has compassion, a genuine desire to help, a drive to get her work done, the ability to communicate with the individuals we work with without crossing boundaries, someone who is timely and committed, and someone who everyone can count on. And for those who do not know, she has a sense of humor that is constantly lifting everyone up! 
​
In Karen, I see the ability to witness about her Lord in a way that invites others to learn more, someone who is caring, someone who the mothers at New Beginnings value and trust, someone who is honest, someone who rarely complains and is always willing to step up, and someone who is calm and collected in even the toughest situations. 
Picture
Picture

In Taleya, I see someone who is detail-oriented, has an ability to relate and connect with others, someone who sets healthy boundaries and remains unshaken, someone who is creative and has vision, someone who everyone can count on, and someone who is committed and trustworthy. 
​
I want to take a moment to commend the staff at New Beginnings for the good work they do. You all work together to create a phenomenal team with a unique set of gifts and talents. Thank you God for the blessings you have given all of us, and thank you Lord for the opportunity we have to serve others. Only through you can we do great things. 
 Take a moment to think about the unique gifts and talents the Lord has given YOU! Leave us a comment – we would love to learn more about your blessings. Let’s focus on the positive!

What's In it for Me?

Why does my partnership matter?

You're reducing money spent on welfare
The figures are grim. In 2011, welfare was the number one spending item in the federal budget.[1] Between 2009 and 2012, fifty percent of households headed by single mothers received some form of government assistance.[2]

Our program is meant to keep mothers out of poverty by working with them to create long-term career goals, and supporting them as they pursue higher education. Your donation helps us start a trend of financial self-sufficiency.

Picture
“I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. I will not refuse to do the something I can do.” –Helen Keller
You become part of a community
​New Beginnings is a small program that focuses on intensively helping a few moms at a time, so even a small donation has a large impact. Plus, our donors and volunteers are considered part of the New Beginnings family. We love hosting fun events for our donors, such as our annual Walk/Run and Ice Cream Social. We also offer a variety of volunteer opportunities if you are looking for something exciting to do!
​
Picture
You are helping create responsible, involved citizens. 
​New Beginnings operates under the premise that career advancement and education are key to escaping poverty. Studies show that higher levels of education correlates with increased civic involvement.[1] Investing in New Beginnings is investing in your community: When residents leave New Beginnings, they are ready to be active citizens because of the high level of participation that is required from them in our program. In addition, residents use their education to obtain careers that contribute to the community.

The Scary Statistics: Let's break the cycle

2/21/2017

0 Comments

 

The stats

​Did you know that according to recent research in metro-Milwaukee, about 72% of families in poverty were headed by single mothers in 2009? Research also shows that generationally-poor children are more likely to continue in a cycle of poverty, which results in an increased likelihood of dropping out of school and an inability to obtain employment with self-sustaining wages. These numbers are scary.
 

In addition, a recent article in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel highlighted the fact that babies born to African-Americans in Milwaukee are dying at a rate that exceeds three times that of babies born to Caucasians. The reason for the disparity is unknown, however the article indicates that premature birth is the cause of about 60% of infant deaths and that chronic stress has been shown to be a key cause of premature births. Chronic stress in the lives of Milwaukee African Americans comes from such sources as poverty, uncertain supplies of food and housing, unemployment and violence.

how new beginnings helps

​The model of New Beginnings was created to combat these scary statistics! New Beginnings actively works to reduce the stress in the lives of its mothers by providing them with secure housing while they take advantage of the provided opportunities to increase their education and vocational skills. 
Picture
​By focusing on educational tracks that lead to a professional career with a median salary of around $50,000, New Beginnings prepares mothers for a self-sufficient life. Additionally, once mothers are equipped with a self-sustaining career, the stressors of affording secure housing, purchasing food and supplies, and unemployment are substantially alleviated. By coupling faith-based programming with educational advancement and preparation, New Beginnings prepares mothers for a self-sufficient life rooted in Christ. 

What You Can Do

By supporting the ministry of New Beginnings, you put a dent in the statistics. Every mother that succeeds at New Beginnings breaks the cycle of poverty for herself, her child, and future generations. There is power in ONE person. Together we provide strength in numbers. The statistics are scary, but together we can work to break the cycle! To donate or get involved, please visit www.homeformothers.com.

Live Your Assignment

​“My job is to get people to say: thank you Jesus.”
 
I was recently at a training about planned giving and one of the trainers said the above quote. I thought how interesting! Even though this gentleman’s job was really to act as a Christian Giving Counselor, his self-proclaimed purpose was to help people recognize where their gifts really come from. 
Picture
Picture
SINFUL HUMANS CAN BE SELFISH
 
In this world, it is so easy to get caught up in ourselves, our life, our actions; what WE did. Success always seems to be internalized as something WE accomplished. Let’s address the other extreme – blaming God for our misfortune. What an interesting change of heart! I think we all can recognize how easy it is to praise our fortunes as our own, but blame our bad luck on God. Don’t let yourself become infected with self-pride, but rather be a humble servant of Christ.
 
“For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you” (Romans 12:3). 

OUR GIFTS BLESS OTHERS
 
God has entrusted us each with our own gifts and talents according to our abilities. In essence, we are stewards of grace-gifts from God and we are to “use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s graces in its various forms” (1 Peter 4:10). Our blessings are not meant to be platforms for gaining self-esteem and significance, but rather to be a gift to others.
 
This is a two-way blessing, in that God provides us with an opportunity to not only humble ourselves by the gifts He has given, but also bless others with those gifts. How cool is that?! We each have the opportunity to use the blessings God has given us to bless others and sanctify ourselves. Thank you Jesus!
Picture
LIVE TO THANK JESUS!
I am sure that not many of us have thought of our life as an assignment from God. But God tells us that we are all called for His purpose. Ah yes, Romans 8:28 may be coming to mind now… (And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose).
So let’s ask the WELS question: What does this mean? 
Picture
​LIVE YOUR ASSIGNMENT
Whether your talents and gifts are money, time, or a specific talent, use it to glorify God and His purpose for your life. Ultimately, use your gifts to bless others, but never forget to say, “Thank you Jesus”!
Do you have a gift or talent that you could use to serve the mothers and babies at New Beginnings?
