New Opportunities...

God is so good. I know you know that, and I certainly know that. But tonight was such an affirmation of that again, and you know, He didn't have to do that...but He did!


I had the pleasure of speaking to a MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) group this evening that I haven't spoken to before. The church that they meet at is a mile from my house, and I've visited there a few times, was impressed, my girls went to youth group there for a couple of years, but other than that, I hadn't had any involvement.


Anyways, I was asked to speak tonight, and what a BLAST! I spoke on a chapter from this book:

The chapter that I spoke on is called, "Who are you again?....Oh yeah, the guy I married." And I spoke about maintaining a great relationship with your husband after having children. 

It was a great talk! Lively discussion about all things related to maintaining a marriage with children around...all topics...(insert your own mental images here.) And I added the "flavor" of having 2 marriages with children around...!

Anyways, ( I am trying HARD to write this despite lively, sometimes heated conversation in my home office!) 

One of the things that I mentioned was a book that I read while in Haiti. This book by Beth Moore:

I have been thinking and praying about starting a book discussion group about this book. I was waiting for clear direction over the past 6 weeks, and today I got it. All day, I kept thinking, "I have to mention a book discussion group for this book." It was clear. I needed to do it!

So, I mentioned it, sent around a sign up sheet, and 4 women said that they are interested! Praise God!

Now, I need to see who else is interested and figure out logistics. There are some women that need childcare if they are to attend this group. I don't know how to provide this yet, and I don't know if I can...but please pray about this; that either I can provide this, or that those moms that need this are able to make other arrangements.

Well, I've had 1,437 distractions while trying to write tonight. I hope it's coherent. And, if Monday nights at my house sound like a good place to hang to discuss self-esteem, then I am your connnection!

Have a great night!
