Tonight was our first MOPS meeting of the year. I am very excited about our theme this year. It's "Be You Bravely" We are begining to explore how we can be the women God created us to be-Bravely! Each of our tables is named after a brave women in the bible. I thought that was a wonderful idea because where else should we look to see how we, as women, should be living our lives but to the bible.
Tonight our speaker (Emily) gave a devotional about finding our God-given strengths/talents and using them for His glory. In our table discussions we had the opportunity to talk about our strengths. It was incredible how many of us, myself included, had a hard time stating our personal strengths. This is something I will be reflecting on a lot in the next weeks. I think it would be a lot easier to identify my strengths if I didn't constantly compare myself to those I think have a better talent in those areas. Instead I need work harder at looking to my creator and seeing how I've been uniquely made to glorify him through the strengths and talents He gave me.
This must be the nationwide theme for MOPS! I am speaking on that topic to a MOPS group here in Annapolis in November. Love the shirt!
