FMF: Connect

This weeks word is Connect......rather fitting, as you will see

Connect to me means a lot of things but right now it is translating into the connection we make with other people. For instance, I joined MOPS this last year and had a wonderful time connecting to the women in the group, and most specifically the women at my table.
In this last week, I was approached with the request that I be a discussion group leader this year. I had already signed up to the a DGL helper, but they are short of leaders and wondered if I would be willing to be one. I asked for time to pray, talk to my husband and consider it as it is a rather large responsibility.
I am pretty much convinced that I should do it, that God is leading me there, and to tell you the truth, it's kind of exciting because it's a whole new level on connection. Connection with the moms that will be at my table, Connection with the group of women who are in leadership. Even a deeper connection with God as I lean on Him and His strength to be the discussion group leader I need to be.
The connection I had with the other moms at my table this year was something I really needed, something that encouraged me and helped me. I am so grateful for the friendships I made and for the opportunity that is before me.

Five Minute Friday is a community of bloggers writing their own thoughts about a single word each week. I am blessed to be a part of this connection!

hi - i'm popping in from lisa jos :o)

thats awesome that you're involved in MOPS and stepping up - isnt connection such a need (like AIR and coffee!) for mums! someone that gets us, and understands and validates our efforts, tears, joys etc

i'm in NZ and i dont know if we have MOPS here (we probably do lol) but our church has a mums group which i help lead and its been amazing seeing what God can do when mums get together and talk and laugh and cry and pray.

go for it - you'll be awesome!

blessings, claire
