Girlfriends and like minded Mothers

That is what I had this weekend at The Mom's Heart Conference.

I was with 5 other moms that want to make sure they pour their hearts to their kids. Making God the center of it all,teaching them all about our God.

I left with 3 new friends Chrissy, Hope and Rosita and stronger bonds with Stacey and Ann. My sister Edith went and she and I already have strong bonds but it was neat to see how we start this new journey of raising little girls to love being mothers and Christian women.

We laughed, we cried and just had plain fun!

So much I have learned:
1- I need rest yes rest! Sleep and time without the computer, chores, schedules and just rest!
2- I need to make my life a celebration everyday! Beauty,Mind,Hospitality,Feasting,Music and lots of HUGS!
3- Don't focus on the weakness but on the blessings!
4- Keep endurance ( Hebrews 10:35 and 36
5- Jesus expects less that I think-- WOW!
6- Where there is no God there is no Beauty.....love this!
7- Motherhood is a calling not a duty.
8- To give Life you must have Life
9- Journal more in detail about my life
10-Be faithful in the times that have been given
11- We become useful when we have a heart for God
12- Faith is a root from which hope grows
13- Fix my eyes on Jesus so that I may finish the race!

As I review my notes I grow excited in what I could become when I put God in the center of my home!

I Pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened,
so that you will know what is the hope of His calling,
what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,
and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe.
Ephesians 1:18-19a
