It’s A Trap!‘... Am I trying to please people?’ Galatians 1:10

NCV‘Am I trying to please people?’ is a great

question to ask ourselves. For whatever reason, we can fall into the same old people-pleasing trap over and over again. And so we become the shoulder to cry on, not because we want to help someone out, but rather because we like the feeling of being needed. Or we volunteer to help out at any given opportunity, not out of an act of service, but because we enjoy being known as the ‘helpful’ one.

When our goal becomes about elevating ourselves rather than God, we’re never going to be truly happy. There will always be someone to point out our failings. There will always be people who let us know when we’ve done well. But what you say about yourself or what others think about you is secondary. The opinion that counts above all others is God’s and, as you know, you already have God’s approval! So, don’t use your kind acts as a way of building yourself up, but use God’s approval as inspiration to carry out kindness. People-pleasing leads to disappointment; God’s approval leads to people pleased. Ask the Holy Spirit for help to answer these questions: Do I do things for others because You want me to or because I need to feel needed? Do I do things for others out of guilt or fear? Do I do things for others because I feel I have to or because You’ve asked me? Only when God is your source of approval will you be totally satisfied and content to be yourself.

Lizotte’s Music Showcase 2013CCAS music students will be heading to Lizotte’s restaurant and live music venue on August 8 for our 2013 Music Showcase. We have just opened up auditions for this event.

Home & SchoolThe CCAS Home & School committee has a new team ready to create unique fundraising opportunities with maximum dollar return for the school and value for money for families. All proceeds raised with each fundraising activity will be given directly back to CCAS, delivering improved facilities for the students in both Primary and High School. We will also continue to provide fabulous gifts for both Mother’s Day and Father’s Day.
