If your first concern is to look after yourself, you'll never find yourself. But if you forget about yourself and look to me, you'll find both yourself and me.

kaiRos - kaiRos?

So I did a fundraiser launch for my project called the kaiRos Approach. Its the first phase of the care centre I have talked about doing for the last 5 years. About a month and a half ago I checked to see if there was anything in the media that used the name kaiRos and to my utter joy, I couldn't find anything. Strangely, in the last 3 weeks, no less than 5 organizations around the world have come out of the woodwork using the name I came up with. Unfortunately, because we haven't incorporated yet, there's nothing I can do and one of the organizations turns out to be a radical social justice group that tries to enact change by demonstrating at public events. I want to be the group that rolls up our sleeves and gets in the trenches with the people struggling with these issues, not the voice box that yells at people to do something about it. It saddens me that I have lost the name kaiRos for the project but it has to go forward. I'll have to put it to the board on Monday and get it fixed. I pray that God will lead me to the right name for the project so it can actually happen.
