Eleventh Meeting

We had a late start today, due to the school system's 2-hour delay. After a short time of chatting and eating, we had announcements, then moved into our speaker room for Leslie's devotion. Leslie showed the first video in the NOOMA series, called Rain. It's a powerful message about trusting God the Father through the storms in our life.
She introduced Dr. Ott, from the Children's Clinic. He spoke of his education and home life, then opened up the forum for questions. We covered topics like eczema, medicines, sun screens, ant bites, allergies vs. colds, and broken bones. He did a great job of answering our questions and putting some minds at ease.

Tenth Meeting - New Beginnings

Today was our first meeting of the new year. It was nice to be back and see everyone after the holidays.
We have a new coordinator, Lori, who did an outstanding job! After announcements, we set out on a spiritual journey. Each mom visited one of 4 rooms, labeled Mountaintops, Valleys, Doubts and Deserts. There were candles illuminating each room and soft music playing. We journaled a thank you letter to God, prayed, chose a scripture bookmark and chose a clay pot to remember that God is the potter and we are the clay. Afterwards, there was a nice time to chat and eat.
Next week is a Mom's Night Out. The girls are going bowling!!
