So those who know me, know about FAME. Let me rephrase that. Those who are in my inner circle or are living in California know about FAME. I'm not saying that those who are around me now aren't in my inner circle but since moving here I haven't talked about FAME. FAME is short for focus on art and music education. It is a dream of mine. I've had this dream since 19. I dream of a school that will focus on the creative arts. A school were kids with different needs can come and express themselves. A school were kids can come and inspire others. But this dream is so beyond what I can accomplish. This is how I feel. How can I make this dream come true? I am only one person. I can feel Christ pushing me and constantly giving me ideas and inspiration to make it happen. I know this is his mission for me. This is what he expected me to fulfill. This dream. I don't believe I am on a mission to save the world. I don't believe I am on a mission to cure the children, but I do believe that we all have gifts and talents. And that for me my gifts and talents are to be used an a specific way. I don't believe everyone needs to start a company, I believe we each have different missions from God to be the best. If you have gifts and talents in the area of motherhood, be the best darn mother you can be. Gifts and talents to build houses, build them. I believe there is something that we each have that nags at us, that we can never let go until we are in it.
Everyone's dream can be big and daunting, but to me FAME is very big and daunting. Pouring over business books and looking at cost, space, employees, fundraising, and putting together a board of directors.. the list continues. I wish this were easier. I wish I could just shout out loud about the company and that we could fundraiser and people would donate. But I know even planning a fundraiser is hard work and not guaranteed to work. Plus I have never been good at accepting money even if it is for a cause. Its weird to me. What if they don't like where I use the money? What if I don't use it in the correct amount of time. So many opportunities to fail. So many opportunities to let people down. So many opportunities.
And yet I hear God saying, so many opportunities for my children. I hear him tell me not to fear. I hear him tell me to trust in him. I hear God telling me to walk the path he has laid with me. But isn't this the hardest thing to do as a Christian. To not only serve Christ but to follow his plans. I ask you all to pray for me as I believe its time to start it up for real. I've tested the waters in California, and right now its sounds like Oregon would really love something like this for kids.
Pray for God to open doors. For a space for the summer. For success. For fundraising.
As I obey his commands I know I can't do it alone.
This is for his kingdom.
This is for the Lord
