Thankful Thursdays

Not sure if Justin and I do a very good job of letting you guys know who is posting, but I figure our writing style is so different (with mine mostly being rambling thoughts) that you guys can figure it out, even when we post on the same day!

Everyday, multiple times a day, I thank God for the many blessings he has given me. Today, I am especially thankful for Thursdays. Our church, Watermark, offers a ministry called Square One. It is for new moms with infants. It lasts 8 weeks and provides support and biblical encouragement to women as they begin their journey of motherhood. This session has the most women to date, 44! Thats right 44 women all with our babies UNDER 12 weeks. Its amazing. Babies are crying, sleeping, nursing, being changed, etc without anyone batting an eye. Its actually 2 hours of being out of the house where you feel safe to be out without a worry. The youngest baby on our first session last week was 6 days old. Kuddos to that momma!! Today we broke off into small groups according to if we plan to stay at home, work part time, or work full time. The majority of mom's plan to stay home so there were 2 groups for that. In our small group we went around and each gave a praise for something good that happened this week and asked for prayer requests for this week. We then proceeded to pray for one another. It was such a sweet, vulnerable time for everyone. I am already counting down until next week! After a few of us went to lunch at Corner Bakery. It was too much. 6 of us walking in all with babies in tow. Luckily, they are all young enough that they are sleeping a lot and not one fussed! I am excited to get to know these women and so grateful that Watermark has provided us with this opportunity.
