Blessing....

As some of you know I'm a part of this wonderful mom group through a church I now call my home church, Rock Harbor Costa Mesa. The name of the group is Nurture and I live each week looking forward to Wednesday's! 

I was invited to attend this group about a year and half ago now by a girl friend Christine...and I Thank God that she invited me and that I accepted! (thanks soooo much friend)

I have been greatly blessed by all the friendships I've made and the support group I now have because of all these moms! 

As this season of Nurture ends i am finding my self reflecting upon just how much this group means to me and what a comfort zone it has become. We gather every Wednesday for prayer, fellowship and might I add some very yummy breakfast! (prob the only breakfast I have all week) I check in my daughter to the childcare and know that she is getting loved on and nurtured at the same time that I am and the best part is they know her by name! How comforting to hear them say "yay Sarah's here!" I love knowing I can take some "me" time to really focus on God and fellowship with friends, knowing she is being well taken care of!. 

And at the end of the 2-hours I look forward to making my way down the hall eagerly waiting to hear "momma! yay!" and see her fly out the door into my arms! and as she says "bye" she is so proud of her artwork (usually a coloring page from a bible story) that she says "see mamma!" and we hold hands all the way to the car :)

so, next week is our last week before the summer break begins, and knowing I will be eagerly waiting for Nurture to start up again and missing all the girls, I know he has big plans for us this summer and am so grateful because if it wasn't for Nurture and meeting with God there every week i wouldn't be where i am today. He has given me a support group and now I am that support for some of the woman as they were for me when i needed it. Its so wonderful to know your not alone in this new job we take on called "mommyhood" and realizing that you cant study up on it, you can't go to college for it, and you certainly are not guaranteed to be born with it. Its comforting to know your not alone and to have help along the way is another huge blessing.!

So thank you God! thank you for all the support I have around me and the wonderful circle of Friends I have made and to know that we are all in it together!

That's all, I just felt like reminiscing about this group today and God layed it on my heart to realize when I'm feeling alone...that I'm not and God is here and my Church is here to lift me up. :)
