Devoted!

Hey, moms! We at MEET have decided it's time for a little more encouraging, and there's no better place to turn than God's word. So from now on, every week there will be a new devotional that will hopefully lift our spirits and bring us closer to our Lord.

Our text: Philippians 1 3-11
I thank God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart, for whether I am in chains or defending and confirming the gospel, all of you share in God's grace with me. God can testify how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus. And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in the knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ-to the glory and praise of God.
Ladies, if Paul can feel this way about his friends while he is in jail not knowing when he will be free, we can certainly say a little prayer during our busy day for each other. And his prayer is just the right example-that we love more, that we understand more, and that we can remain without sin so there's no guilt weighing us down. We have enough on our plates already! This is possible!
Prayer: Dear Father, you are love, please love on us this week as we are doing our duties, love on us when we are in tears, love on us when we are exhausted, love on us when we are joyful-so we can be thankful to you in all that you do for us. Then, let us pass this love on to others, for your glory alone. Amen.

If you would like to contribute a weekly devotion let us know! God can use you in many ways!

Play Space

Hey ladies! Thank you everyone who came out to play on a sunny Friday in January to the play space at Shoppingtown Mall. We had such a blast climbing all over and sliding, and running, and of course EATING. You ladies are the best bakers anywhere. It was some fun fellowship and can't wait to see you all Friday at MEET!



How did we ever get them to sit still that long! God is amazing!

A Great New Year!

We hope everyone is excited for this new year. God is doing amazing things isn't he?! It was wonderful to see everyone at the January MEET, I feel like we had such a great turn out. It's really great to get together and just chat and let the kids loose for awhile right! We also made a fun craft, hope you all like your mitten hooks, mine turned out really cute. Well, we have some fun things coming up and want to keep you posted.
