A Beautiful Mess Starting September 6, 2013

It's September and our first meeting is Friday! Yes, Friday Sept 6, 2013! I hope you're ready because it should be an interesting year. 

This year's theme is A Beautiful Mess. Ephesians 2:10 "For we are God's Masterpiece. He has created us a new in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago."

 Every day I am sure you struggle with everything that should be done, needs to be done, and what actually gets done. Whether it is on a personal level, family, domestic level (cleaning that bathroom), or spiritual level. We all struggle with the everyday messes. The things that we may just feel embarrassed by. Our ponytail hair style, lack of make-up, or love of yoga pants when we go to the grocery store.  Yeah, I know, I am there too. 

We tend to focus on the mom or family that has it all together. That don't seem to have any messes just the beautiful part. Here is a little secret; we all have a mess somewhere, some of us keep it hidden very well, but there are things that we would like to or need to change about ourselves.

This year we are going to take a look at the beauty. These "messes" teach us  there is something beautiful in every mess. It could be a lesson we learned, a friend we made, or a God Moment.  This a time to just let go and be yourself. We don't mind if you wear your yoga pants, don't fix your hair, and we don't care if your house is clean.

We are excited to start this year with old and new friends. If you would like the theme book for this year is "The Artist's Daughter: A Memoir" by Alexandra Kuykendall . You are encouraged to read the book.

See you soon.
