New Beginnings
Right now wwKids is experiencing a few changes. Another way to phrase that is a new beginning to a new school year. One of the beginnings that has started this week is the dividing of the Art studio into two classrooms. This week there is a wall being built so that we can create a brand new class for the children who are 3 and 4 that will cater to their developmental needs.
Because of all of these new beginnings, it made me wonder how often God sets up the beginnings in our lives. Each new day is a new experience and adventure that God has set up for us, so why do so many people take them lightly. Living the day out to its fullest to honor God is what should be happening, and many people including myself can forget that sometimes.
So in honor of this new beginning of a school year, lets remember this and try to instill this idea in the children we are in contact with, because living fully in Gods purpose for each day is something that will honor God and help these kids grow.

Superheroes
This month in wwKids, the main focus has been Justice, and how that relates to who we can be and how we act as part of Gods helping hands that heal the world. In the music studio, the kids were able to learn about superheroes and through this discover that they are like superheroes, in the fact that they are the advocates for the justice God desires.
Through the fact that the kids are learning about this, one of the points that is emphasized is that we are given power from God. It is not necessarily supernatural, but because of his constant presence we have the support we need from him to push for the truth and justice in the world. This is a great realization for anyone of any age because remembering that we have the power of God running through us is great because he is our help and support when we need it and that’s a great thing to know.

Nature
One of the main focuses this summer for wwKids has been how to see God through the nature he has created for us to enjoy. This theme has been especially prominent in the garden this summer. Seeing these kids interact in a unique and wonderful way, can be such a blessing because that’s what God wants. He wants to see his children interacting in different ways to what he has given us.
The future of the world is through these kids, so seeing them learn at such a young age to respect the earth and help it grow is truly a great thing. Through God’s guidance, these kids are growing not only in learning to help others and heal the world, but also internally, growing into amazing people. Seeing these pieces come together for them is such a great thing to witness in whatever way it happens.
