November 2013 Meeting Recap

Meeting Announcements:

- Next meeting comes early! That's right our December mom2mom meeting is Thursday, December 12th.   Same time, same place, just a week earlier than normal.

- Follow us on Instagram: @mom2momrmcc

- Flip the Switch: 11/29 from 6:00 - 8:30 pm


Speaker Recap:
Thursday's meeting was one of those meetings were you wish everyone could be there to hear the speaker! We were blessed with having Sarah Fox speak on her life in Uganda as a new mom. Her humor and willingness to share transparently was awesome. Thank you Sarah! A few nuggets of wisdom from her talk:

- It's not about what we do, it's about who we pursue in our lives. It's about knowing Christ and seeing Him glorified. (Phil 3:3 -12)

- Our accomplishments, compared to knowing Christ, are nothing. Know that He IS enough.

- Christ is most glorified when we are satisfied with Him.

- Change our perspective... not seek out "good days with kids" but rather seek for days Christ is most glorified.
