THANKFUL FOR MOPS!

Today at MOPS was super fun. I am so thrilled to be a part of this group. We all have so much to give to one another and I think God wants us to be this way. It is easy as a mommy and wife to get wrapped up in your own little life. Thinking only of ourselves and our own families is easy. Some days YES that is all we can do physically. I look at my friends that have two, three, and even four kids and I am amazed at how they keep it all together. I am really encouraged by the women in MOPS. We all have a story. We are all free to be ourselves. I run in a few different circles in my life. I have different areas where GOD is using me. The gift I have today is in being myself. I really do not want to be anyone else. God created me to be just who I am. I am the daughter of a MIGHTY KING! He created me. And like Leighton said in her devotion, "God is frolicking in delight at his creation" I try not to let Satan rob me of the joy of being a mom, friend, sister, wife, daughter, and woman. I do not listen to his lies!! I too believe our slogan that better moms make a better world. I want what is best for Tanner. I want him to be who GOD created him to be. I want him to LOVE others and LOVE himself. I do not want him to be ashamed to express himself or apologize for who HE IS!! God wants us to be bold for him and I want Tanner to see his mommy being BOLD for the LORD. I had a great time today laughing and enjoying some fun with other Mommy's. Thank you for today JESUS!! Bless these moms and be with each of them.
