1st meeting!

We are so thankful for each of you ladies who came for fellowship yesterday!  We prayed, we intro'd ourselves, we drank tea, we drank coffee, we read from our book, we prayed some more. 

We got together as women and we fellowshiped and encouraged one another.  It was such a great time!

 

 How great is it that there is a place for our kiddos to hang out too!?  Love it! 

We know that God has amazing things planned for this group of women!   

Our verse this week was Isaiah 40:31

but those who hope in the Lord
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint. 

Can't wait till next week! 

Conversation with Satan - I'm Encouraged!

Unexpected. Uncomfortable.  Just where God wants us.

This morning while I was still half asleep, trying to wake up.  I had a conversation with Satan.  It was pretty one sided.  He was filling my mind with things like..."have you overcommitment? you won't be able to handle this.  What about YOUR kids....won't this be hard on them, it is naptime?  What if the kids all fight?  What if this explodes and becomes more than you can handle?"  He likes to speak in questions because it leaves endless answer possibilities.  If we let him, he can question us right out of God's will.

So these questions started milling through my head.   Then I started to really wake up.
Now let me stop for a second.  Just so you know....the leaders of this group are not wrapped in a spiritual God bubble where Satan cannot attack.  Both of us are extremely positive people, but that doesn't mean that we don't have our days or times when Satan attacks.  With that said....

I think I entertained the thoughts for a half a second, THEN....I really thought about a couple things:
1.  Satan felt the need to attack while I wasn't even fully awake.  He didn't even have the nerve to attack me while I was completely coherent. 
2.  In all the questions and what he probably thought would be FEARS he was instilling, I actually heard encouragement.  For real...listen....  "you cannot handle this......what if this explodes and you cannot handle this...overcommitment "  If Satan takes the time to reiterate the fact that I can't handle something, I know I am right where GOD wants me. If this was something that was going to be easy for my friend and I....if it isn't something we can't handle, that wouldn't be a GOD sized vision. 
3.  This group hasn't even begun yet! bahahaha...I mean really, we just sat down as leaders yesterday and talked vision and direction and took steps to what is the beginning....first official meeting next week :)  Funny how Satan felt the need to attack so quickly.  I'm excited!

Truth is, if we were starting a ministry that didn't have he Devil scared, would it really be worth it?  I don't know about you, but this really pumped me up today!!!  The opposite effect of what Satan intended I'm quite positive. And that's just how God works when we allow his Spirit to dwell in us and when we have a God sized vision....


You intended to harm me, but God intended it all for good. He brought me to this position so I could save the lives of many people. - Genesis 50:20 

 I love you, Lord; you are my strength. - Psalm 18:1

AMEN! 

"If the size of your vision isn't intimidating to you, there's a good chance it's insulting to God." - Steven Furtick

"I despaired at the thought that my life might slip by without seeing God show himself mightily on our behalf." - Jim Cymbala


We will live in audacious faith...confident and believing HIM for the impossible.  Please pray with us as we embark in this new ministry!


To God be the glory

Just Beginning

Hi ladies!


Just an intro to a new mom's group that will be meeting at SKIA, Wednesday's @ 1pm. 
SKIA has a fabulous little play area for children, so please bring your kids and enjoy some relaxing mommy time!
Our group is called A Minute For Mommy just as this blog is titled.  There is a book out by a local author, Berkli Binns, with this same tittle.  And guess what?  The author will even be at our March 16th meeting!

How this group came to be.....
Two friends got together and wanted to have a study together.  When they had their first meeting, they both discovered that within each other, the original idea of the group had changed into a much larger vision.  A God sized vision.   While discussing what this would en-tale they found the book A Minute For Mommy....well actually one of them picked it up not really paying attention, went to the other side of the store checking on her children, looked down at the book she had in her hand, showed it to her friend....and the rest is history.  A God thing really.  
So who is this for?  Well, if you're a mom...YOU!  Whether you are a SAHM or a working mom who wants to come during her lunch hour, this group is for you.  It's a group for the churched, the unchurched, the tired and weary, the excited and positive.  It's for any Mom who wants encouragement, prayer, and to be nurtured by other Mom's.  Your age does not matter.  Your kids ages do not matter.  Maybe you have had miscarriages....you're still a Mom.  Maybe you adopt...It's for YOU too.  Whatever season of motherhood you are in!  Whether you live in a mansion or trailer park, the suburbs or a shelter, castle or a crackerbox.  We are here for You.


We hope that you will join with us in this wonderful new ministry for Mom's. Come have a minute.  A minute to breathe.  A minute for YOU.  A minute to rejuvenate.  


Hope to see you there!


Draw near to God and He will draw near to you...James 4:8
