Mom to Mom

I have heard about this "Mom to Mom" class a lot in the last one and a half year or so... The child care they provide during the program is very important for every Mom, of course, it makes the class even more attractive...

Unfortunately, in spite of the neat magnet I got for the schedule, I always realized after the event that I just missed a class again...

Finally I made a more conscious effort to change this bad habit, and guess what! I drove to "Mom to Mom" yesterday with a happy Kaleb in the back seat. :)

It was a really refreshing time from 9 a.m. until 11,15 a.m.

There was fellowship, food, safe childcare for Kaleb and message from the Lord!

The coordinators seem very young to me :) with probably no more experience as moms than myself, but I really enjoyed their honest and open testimony about motherhood and their walk with the Lord.

There was particularly one thing that really hit home for me: an other mom sharing was talking about our devotional time with God as moms, which can be very hasty or non-existent sometimes for days - which is something I struggle with myself... "don't give up seeking the Lord"! Yes, I don't want to give up, and I am willing to sacrifice my relaxation time for it, if I need to, and it seems that I need to....

So, I am very grateful for my husband's support, who keeps encouraging me to go to these events...

And this fall I will attend Womens' Bible Study on Wednesday mornings every week (!) beside the Mom to Mom class which is only once a month. There is childcare for this class, too. Isn't that wonderful???!!! Kaleb loves playing with the other kids at child care, so far, anyway. :) What a blessing!

There is another big event coming up next weekend, a marriage conference at the church. I signed up for that, too, yesterday, we still need a babysitter to arrange for Friday afternoon and Saturday morning. I hope God will provide that important detail, as well.
