Getting started

We had a wonderful launch meeting on Friday! Thank you to all of you who were able to make it, and to those who weren't but are still participating we are excited to get you connected!
We will be opening this online Bible Study group to all of MOPS but please use this as a conversation starter with your M.A.P. partner. I will post 1-2 session per week. Each short devotion will be followed by a question for you. Please feel free to use the comment section at the bottom to post your thoughts about the article, read others thoughts, and connect more with each other. You do so by clicking on the "comments" link at the bottom.
The topic of our first study is going to be on Setting Spiritual Growth Goals. Here is an excerpt from the introduction. I hope you enjoy it!

You’ve been there, right? When you suddenly realize that for
the past five minutes you’ve been thinking of other things—
driving without paying much attention at all. Buildings,
streets, and landmarks have slipped by unnoticed.


It can be so easy to do the same thing with our spiritual
lives. Instead of living mindfully and intentionally, life
can slip by as we go through the motions on autopilot.
And someday, without quite realizing how it happened, we
realize that we’ve missed our desired destination. Instead
of having a vibrant relationship with God, we’ve landed in
mediocrity-ville. Opportunities to grow have been missed.
Chances to connect with God have slipped by unnoticed.
Life’s busyness has gotten the best of us.


It’s time right now to stop, take stock of things, and refocus
on your goal of intimacy with God. This study
is all about living intentionally. It’s about setting worthy
goals. It’s about how to reach them. And it’s a reminder
that, though we have a definite part to play, ultimately our
spiritual growth is in God’s hands.

Welcome!

Hello fellow MOPS!
Welcome to our first online Bible Study for Spring Hills MOPS! This is a new venture for us, and for me to be venturing out in the world of online Bible Studies. I will be posting studies and you can post comments at the end of each entry. You will all be able to see each other's comments and begin a dialog. Hopefully, this will begin some wonderful conversations about the mighty God we serve, life on planet Mom and will help us get to know one another more.
The benefit of doing a Bible Study online is that we don't all have to agree to a time and place to meet. You may be reading this at 7 a.m. over a cup of coffee, or 2 p.m. while nap time creates a hush around your house, or 12 a.m. when you finally get a chance to do something for yourself in your day! Whenever it is, I hope you will be blessed! This site will be better when each of you leaves a trace of yourself here by commenting on the study, or on each other's entries.
Enjoy and may God bless this new adventure!
