Revive! 2008

Friends -

I am very excited to announce that we had a wonderful event on Valentine's evening with single parents and children... the theme was "Revive! Celebrating the Life, Legacy & Love of a Single Parent Family" and we did just that!

Music was presented by Kim Hill, Sam Mullins, Anadara and Shirley Logan. We also debuted a new song that was written especially for the event called "Still A Family" that is a prayer for a single parent and his/her children. The children enjoyed various activities by Miss Patty Cake (little tots), Camp Great Escape, Team Faith and Gotee recording artist, Stephanie Smith. It was a fun night for all!

I wanted to share a note that I received from one of the single parents that attended:

Subject: One of the Best Valentines Days!

Dear Tammy,

I applaud you and your team for producing one of the best Valentine's Day gifts I could ever give to myself and my children! We have been revived!

Little did I know that I would be faced with a huge blow this weekend while my kids were visiting their Dad. The validation and affirmation I received on Thursday gave me the strength to handle what could have been an extremely volatile situation! As I continue to have challenges with my children's Dad, I continue to rely on the skills and behaviors I have learned from Christian CoParenting. Thursday was a sweet reminder of the legacy I am giving my children and some great encouragement for me, that I am doing things right-even amidst all the broken places!

I look will be sharing a few more stories about the real-life impact of Revive 2008 and look forward to being in touch with you on a much more frequent basis (thanks DS!).

May today be a blessing - hug your children tight and NEVER LOSE SIGHT of the beautiful blessings that God has given you, even amidst all the broken places...

A companion in the journey,

Tammy G. Bennett
