I've been in MOPS for a few years now and have been on leadership for most of it. I was tricked into leadership but it's all been good. I've been to convention twice and what I love about MOPS is the moms that come there to connect with other moms and end up connecting with Jesus. I've heard so many stories of this happening either directly or indirectly. I sometimes get a little over zealous and can't understand why every mom wouldn't want to join. I am however getting to a stage where I know that when it's time to move on I'll be ready. The ministry of MOPS is such a blessing and a great outreach.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25563240.post-1157069977874379582006-08-31T19:19:00.000-05:002006-08-31T19:19:00.000-05:00Are you really telling me that there was a meeting...Are you really telling me that there was a meeting at church and something was accomplished?! Nobody was yelling, screaming or sending out death rays through passive aggresive looks or sighs?? <BR/><BR/>Sorry I guess I'm a little jaded right now. Glad you were able to gain some insight into the ministry and those who need to be ministered to.~Mommy Brainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10683992174755064509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25563240.post-1157050285175207722006-08-31T13:51:00.000-05:002006-08-31T13:51:00.000-05:00Thanks for sharing -- I agree that sometimes we ne...Thanks for sharing -- I agree that sometimes we need to stop and refocus our efforts. It's easy to get into a "to do" mode when it comes to organizing ministry events, etc., but as long as we're looking "up," He'll remind us what it's all about.Lisa @ Heaven Senthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15795670644423933851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25563240.post-1157026443582829032006-08-31T07:14:00.000-05:002006-08-31T07:14:00.000-05:00Heart and soul searching...love it!

I'm not kidding - I loved MOPS more than anything. Nothing could get in the way of me and a MOPS meeting. It really was my only out for a while in my life. When David (son #1) got a little older and T.J. (son #2) who was pretty much right behind him (14 1/2 months later) got a little older, life wasn't as stressful for this Mom. And so I was able to go out to things OTHER than MOPS meetings and that was nice. <BR/>Anywho...good post and love the analogies! We all must remember that anything we do should be for the Glory of God! Love that! ...Whaddayamean that not everybody would like to sing for 2 hours straight? I don't get that. I guess I have to look at the heart. ;)Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08090447453266614884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25563240.post-1157023752771509612006-08-31T06:29:00.000-05:002006-08-31T06:29:00.000-05:00Good insights for yourself!

I have a couple of friends who really get into it, but it is just not my thing. I'm happy that there is a program, though, for the moms that need it or want it and I think it is a ministry that is sorely lacking in our churches. Good for you for recognizing that and starting it up - especially since it seems like there was little support for it/you from other people (not that they didn't want it, just that they weren't interested enough to even find out what it was and help you out in some way - even to give you notes/calls of encouragement).<BR/><BR/>Are you sobbing now?i am nothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18171163606325855644noreply@blogger.com
