What Volunteering at New Beginnings-A Home for Mothers Means To Me.

11/6/2017

​What does volunteering mean to you? In Matthew 5:16 we are told, “In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” Volunteering at New Beginnings means much more to me than doing a good deed. Yes, I get to glorify my Father in heaven but I feel like there is even more to that.  Volunteering at New Beginnings means that I get the opportunity to serve others while making a difference in someone's life. I feel like when I serve at New Beginnings, I am letting my light shine by proclaiming the Word of God to mothers to help them grow in their faith which is a wonderful blessing. Jesus was the ultimate servant when it comes to helping others and in effort to mirror Him, I will do what I can as a humble servant to do the same.

Not only do I get to share my faith here at New Beginnings but I am also able to provide a listening ear without judgment to all of the mothers. Sometimes, it can be hard for people to share their feelings especially when they are constantly feeling judged. My goal is to give those people a listening ear and make them feel comfortable. Along with listening with an open ear comes making close connections. When you get to know someone, you figure out you have more in common than you think. One connection I have already made is that one mother and I grew up in the same town for seventeen years and out of all of the places we could have ended up, we met each other here at New Beginnings! An amazing benefit about volunteering is that some day those close connections can lead to lifelong friendships. 

When I graduate from Wisconsin Lutheran College, my goal is to become a neonatal/OB nurse. I feel like New Beginnings gives me the opportunity to use my passion of caring for mothers and their babies and I could not be more thankful. Besides, who wouldn’t want to play and cuddle with the biggest blessings life has to offer?

Quinna Koch joined the New Beginnings Volunteer Family early October of 2017.  She volunteers as Home Assistant and helps out with evening devotions.  She is currently attending WLC to become a nurse and is using her skills and knowledge to connect with the mothers and babies here.  She is also gaining experience for her future.
