How Time Flies!!

It hardly seems that it was five years ago my good friend, Ruth, asked me to be a MOPS mentor mom. To be honest, I had never heard of MOPS …so naturally, I wondered what exactly it was and how could I mentor people in a group I knew nothing about.  But my friend was insistent that I pray about it and…. well… I guess the rest is history. One of the things I love about MOPS is that the only...

FBC Frisco MOPS 2011-2012…..What a great year!!

We have been so blessed this year at FBC Frisco MOPS!  I hope you all have enjoyed this year in MOPS as much as I have.  I have prayed throughout this year that our MOPS Moms would find encouragement from our meetings, make new and lasting friendships, and be able to just relax and enjoy a little “me time”.  I have also prayed you all would grow closer in your relationship with the Lord and feel His...

God IS in control: Confessions from an Out-of-Control Mama

When I think about my flaws, “control freak” is not a phrase that comes up. I like to think that I am laid back, easy going, and that I roll with the punches. The past few months however, have opened my eyes to the control freak that resides within. I make plans for myself, not considering to seek what God has in store for me, then when the plans fail I become so upset. Even then, sometimes I don’t...

Working Smarter: Learning to Balance a Career and Mommyhood

I will admit that I was apprehensive about joining MOPS. After all, how would I mesh with stay at home moms? You see I am a full time career woman, mom, wife and active community member. I hardly have time for TV in the evening much less a “mom group”.  However, after several encouraging emails and conversations, my good friends and my husband convinced me that getting involved in a group such as MOPS...

All are 150 percent...

MOPS has been Good to Me!

This week marks my 6 year anniversary of being a Stay-at-Home Mom. I cannot tell you how proud I am of that decision and what joy and peace it has brought to our home and my marriage! However, for the first few years of being at home I definitely missed the adult interaction and creative outlet that a career brings! I really longed to have a group of girlfriends to chat with during the week while my...

Cherishing the fun, and the crazy

As I was considering what I needed to write about, I overheard this conversation between my daughter (3 years old) and my son (5 years old). Chloe: I like Booty and the Beast. Noah: I don’t like it at all! Chloe: Not even Booty? Noah: I don’t like Booty. It made me snicker, and grin, because I have never heard a guy say they don’t like “Booty” before. All jokes aside, it gave me pause to...
