Women 2 Women ministry

I can't begin to tell you how excited I am for this season in my life. I am involved in an amazing ministry at our church called Women 2 Women. You get paired up with another women either as a mentor or mentee. I am a mentee and I have an amazing mentor who is such a wonderful womanof God. This mentorship is group at, we can discuss anything, read a book, study a chapter in the bible, it is up to us. We have decided to read this great book called the Travelers Gift. It has great insight as to how to be successful and his way of bringing in his faith into the book is really good. So needless to say I am excited for these next few months to see what God is going to do in both of our lives. 

December 5th- Women's Dessert

This mommy got to enjoy a night out with all the wonderful ladies of the Bridge church. I was in charge of all the decadent desserts so I was a busy mommy preparing and shopping. I got to enjoy spending time with my sister, mom and great friends Chela and Amanda. Not to mention the desserts were oh so delicious and the speakers were amazing with great stories to share of their "Unwrapped blessing".

Women's Retreat

A few weeks ago our church had our Women's Retreat at the Rancho Las Palmas Resort, let me tell you it was a wonderful weekend.Not only did I get to spend a weekend with my sisters (except for Vanessa), and other wonderful ladies of the Bridge, I got a great feeling of faith renewal. It is so awesome to hear such wonderful speakers, women who have struggled in their own lives, they were not perfect and neither are we, even though we strive to be as women. I went on the leadership track and boy did God speak to me! To be a leader means to be stretched beyond yourself but you need to know the Gift of Limits, meaning you need to know how to limit yourself to what only God has called you to do. As a leader you need to let others know that you are real, that you are not perfect yourself, and that you have weaknesses also. It's amazing that God puts you in the right places at the right time. I got a lot out of what Tammy had to say, I got a lot out of the weekend and I felt so refreshed when I came home. It also helped that the hotel was amazing and SO relaxing, and that hanging out with the girls is always a good time! I look forward to our women's retreats every year and I am already looking forward to the next one!

VBS

I know this is a very overdue post. Back in August our church had VBS and it was so much fun because it was Taelor's first year she could attend. She had such a blast!! The singing and dancing and crafts was lots of fun! Taelor invited a few of her friends, Hailey, the Meador girls, and Brody and they all had a great time together. It is so awesome to see all these little young hearts learning about Jesus! I look forward to this week every year and I am sure Taelor will be too! It was an exhausting week, working, then being with 25 pre-k kids at the end of the day from 6-8pm but it was so worth every moment!!!

Sunday school from a 2 year old

So I asked Taelor today what she learned in Sunday school (most of the time she says "Jesus loves me"), but today and she had a different answer, she said "Jesus made the rain, the clouds and the water". Too cute!! I just love that at such a young age she is learning about God. She enjoys going to Sunday school and today she was mad when we had to leave, she said, "I don't want to go home, I want to stay at church". I can remember from a young age going to church and I feel blessed that my children get to experience the same. Ethan loves his little class too and playing with all his friends, he especially loves giving everyone hugs (especially the girls). The greatest gift God has given to me is my children and my faith. I look forward to many more Sunday's when I get to ask the kids what they learned about God!
