- Chris Brown
I am so excited about what the Lord is doing through our Preschool Director's life here at Hallandale. Talk about a story of someone striving for her potential! I asked Stephanie to jot down a little about her time here at Hallandale and here is a sneak peak into the life of someone who is striving after their God-potential!
"When i was first asked to be on staff as the Preschool Director, I had only been attending church on a regular basis for about two or three months and volunteering for a little less time then that, so i was a little intimidated by the position. I decided to take the position because I really felt a calling to help the city of Hallandale and to stretch and grow a little more in my new found faith. Even after deciding that this was something I wanted to put my heart and soul into i still felt a little scared about having the title since I still considered my self a "new Christian". I thought how can I possibly make an impact in someones life when there is still so much to learn and so much work that has to be done in my own life. In the past couple weeks I've learned that there was no need to be scared. As I'm working with the children and helping them to take baby steps in learning about Jesus I'm taking baby steps too. I also learned that in every service there are new believers just like me that have a chance to make life changing decisions and I get to help make sure that those people can be completely focused on what the Pastor is saying instead of worrying about their children. I learned that no matter how old you are or how far along in you're faith there are still things that people can learn from you and you can help make an impact in their life."
Partnering with people to help them reach their God-Potential.........enough said - thank you Stephanie for allowing us to partner with you and for inspiring us each week as you get out of your comfort zone!
