You Kept Me From Drowning!

You Kept Me From Drowning! It's really scary to be in over your head, in rough and deep uncharted waters. The frantic efforts to preserve life when taking in water, thrashing about, scared and panicked about what's next.

Managing to gasp for breath, while trying to stay afloat, is overwhelming. Going down for the third time, imagining the end is near! In situations like this, one feels really alone and helpless.

 

That was the situation with one of my Kidology Coaching students, who admitted, "You saved my life. I was drowning and I was getting pretty scared. You threw me a life ring of safety. You are like a lifesaver to me." A life preserver was thrown her way and she desperately grabbed it and held on tight. It worked!  

 

Things are different now since we pulled her out of the tumultuous deep. She was floundering, but no more! She was rescued and pulled safely ashore. We spent some quality time debriefing - understanding her plight! She was not alone anymore.

Background Checks Survey
CPCParents today are concerned about the safety of their children at church more than ever before. While background checks are only one part of a complete safety program at church, it is an important part. But not every church has implemented them.

Consider taking our latest Kidology Survey to share your input on background checks!  Do you perform them? Why or why not?
