Today was the first meeting for a Mom's group that a friend and I are forming. For some time I have been wanting to reach out to my neighbor/s, and others. I have felt that Mom's need a place to talk together, to pray together, etc. I shared this idea with a friend, and she has had the same idea. We prayed, met a few times and decided to get started.
We have a boat load of ideas. We want to offer an attractive atmosphere for both Mom and child, as well as a place to learn about God and developing a relationship with Him. We hope to have activities and a lesson for the kids, discussions on various topics actual to Mom's, and a place where Mom's can share their talents with others and learn something new (cooking lessons, silk painting, felting, etc.)
I am excited to see what God will do through this group. The first group is always nerve wracking, not knowing what to expect. But I think it was a good time for the Mom's to get to know each other a bit. We were a total of 5 mom's this week.
We could use your prayers. Pray God will give us wisdom how to include Him in a non-threatening way for those who don't know Him. Pray He will work mightily. Thanks!!
PS: Pray that I will have the courage to take on leadership roles. I want to be able to teach the kid's. I love teaching. . . in English. But doing it in Latvian is scary. No, that isn't the scariest part, the worst part is having the Mom's watching me do it. If it were only kids I could do it. . . Anyway, I am am longing to use some talents and gifts God has placed in my heart. BUT I am afraid. I feel inhibited by the language. . . or is it my fear of man?
