When talking to other moms, the description that is most often used to describe our lives is "busy". Unfortunately, oftentimes in our busyness, we neglect to take the time to foster the relationship that should be the most important one in our lives, and that is our relationship with God.
A relationship with God is just that... a PERSONAL relationship with God. Just like in life, even if you have several friends who share a friendship with someone that you don't really know, until you have a personal connection with that person for yourself, you would not consider them a friend just because they are friends with several of your friends. How can you be friends with someone that you don't personally know? The same is true with God. We have to connect with Him personally. We cannot sustain ourselves on the faith of our parents or the faith of our husband or the faith of our friends. It has to be our faith.
At our next MOPS meeting, we will be exploring this concept of living together with God. And with Easter just around the corner, we will be creating our own homemade resurrection eggs (from MomSense Magazine) to help explain the story of Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection. Afterall, only through Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection are we even able to have a relationship with him through the payment and forgiveness of our sins on the cross.
So come join us on Monday, March 8th from 9:00am - 11:00am in the Family Life Center as we eat breakfast, watch a short video, work on a craft, and talk and fellowship with other moms. Breakfast is being provided to us by our Mentor Moms. You won't want to miss it!
