Everybody should take a moment and get excited for a new year of MOPS!
With a new beginning before us for MOPS (and for many of us for school, work, babies and other things) I thought it was only fitting to make this weeks post about embracing change and the new experiences.
Changes can often be terrifying - especially for the mom in us that want to be steady and consistent rocks for our families. I think that when we become so focused with wanting to be consistent through change and new things that we don't fully experience what these changes can bring about in ourselves. Throughout the Bible, God emphasizes that it is through change, challenge and new experiences that He brings about the greatest growth in us. Each new beginning is filled with His bounty and abundance to help us grow and change in Him.
For this new year of MOPS I ask that everyone think of this as a clean slate - a new experience and a new beginning where the possibilities within the group and within ourselves are endless. Set an intention for this year to open up to new friends, new ideas and new ways to be the best mom you can be. I am so excited to see what will become of us as we embark on this journey.
Dear God, please watch over our group as we begin this adventure together. Remind us to trust in You and open ourselves to the possibilities that this year can bring. Help us to strengthen each other as we share our experiences in mothering. Watch over the group that we may do all things in Your name. Amen.
