It has started.
For a couple years now I have had it in my heart to help Teen MOPS. I have learned through my MOPS groups, moms need a community. I have learned this personally. I would not be the mom or the Christian women I am if it weren't for MOPS.
God has a sense of humor. While at a MOPS meeting I told a friend that I wanted to start a Teen MOPS group. I hadn't told anyone at MOPS this. Anders and I talked about it, my neighbor Leslie and I talked about it, but I didn't talk to anyone involved with MOPS. That afternoon that friend recieved an email from another mom that she needed help to start up a Teen MOPS group. This other friend is in the same MOPS group I'm in, lives just down the street (I could run there). Well the friend I told, said "Yes she would love to help. Have you talked to Steph Weaver? She really wanted to start one?" She or I had no idea we wanted to do this. She emailed me right away and that's how it all started.
Now she has been doing more work than I on this. She had already met with the church, talked to another Teen MOPS group and the MOPS organization. I didn't know if our church would allow this group to meet at their church. (I shouldn't have thought that, I mean their vision is "transforming lives - one at a time." Which is exactly what MOPS does.
Well in 4 short days of that chance statement. Jamie and I have met to lay out a plan, met and visited with a Teen MOPS group, got a steering team put together(Jamie did this mostly), finalized the paperwork for the Church and set up the meeting with the Church to go over the plan and hopefully get it approved. God is good, and I am faithful that He will provide for us and this group. Hopefully in a few days you will see a post of "It's approved!!! We have a lot of stuff to get done :) "
