Day 2 MOPS

Today I am so grateful for MOPS   It has been great for me to step out of my comfort zone and meet people who I never would have met.  People who rally together and help each other out. It is a great way for me twice a month to be me and not be a mom or a wife.  Plus they have amazing topics to learn from.  Today we had a speaker who talked about how to raise kids with healthy body images.  It was so inspiring.  She made some fabulous points about how we need to bring everything back to God.  We need to teach our children they were made by God and that God knows them.  She went on to say that God knows everybody and that everybody was made by God. She also said as mom we need to be grateful for all the things our bodies can do.  How are bodies were made in such a way that we can do great things for and with our children. 

The other thing is the boys (especially Andrew) has so much fun playing with other kids.  It is so well organized and the people who work there seem to really enjoy working with kids.  Luke and Andrew are in different classrooms which I think in the future could be good and bad.  Not sure how it will go next year. 

The theme this year is Be You Bravely.  They have a person get up every meeting and tell about  a time about how they were brave.   We all have a key that we should give to somebody who we feel is brave or maybe needs a little help being more brave. I still have mine. I have lots of thoughts on who to give it to but I am waiting for the inspiration.

I love going there.  I love that I am supported there.  I am sad that I am going to miss some of the activities due to conflicts but Lee is supportive of me going to the Mom's Night Out they have once a month although it appears I won't be able to go to one until November.
