All that's missing from today is the beach. Today has SUMMER written all over it. A lot of sunshine! Before I start my Labor Day weekend (tick, tock...in minutes!) I wanted to share with you a note I received from a teenage girl who comes to commonground events with her Mom. If you've been around commonground any length of time you know that our heart is for girls (13+) to come, engage and take their place on commonground. CG is definitely a cross generational event and we are thrilled about it! We really do love that CG is a place where Moms and daughters can worship and serve together! Please read this note and invite a young woman in your life to the next CG on Friday, October 21st. We really have no idea what kind of impact we make on each other's lives do we? I am thankful for all of you! Oh and yes, its true, when I read this I did cry in my coffee. :)
Hey Tami, I just wanted to say how thankful I am to have you in me and my mom's life. I can tell you've made a difference in my life, as well as my mom's, and I'm glad you did. My mother and I didn't have a very good relationship and we tended to bump heads a lot. However, since we've started going to the CG events I've noticed that we've gotten closer as mother and daughter. Though we still have our days, we don't fight as much as we used to. The CG events give my mom and I something to do together and it doesn't just bring her and I closer to each other, but also to God. I'm looking forward to maybe becoming a CG Girl like you and my mom in a few years ;-)Anyways, I just had to let you know how important you are to me because without you and the rest of the CG Girls, I wouldn't be where I am today....
