MOPS Convention






This past weekend I went to the MOPS convention in Dallas. The convention was at the Gaylord Texan Resort and what a beautiful resort it was. I went with four other girls from our MOPS group and we had a wonderful time. We are pretty much kept busy with all the sessions. We start our day off all together. All 5,000 women in one room hearing inspiring stories and singing praises. What an experience. Then you fight the crowd of 5,000 for breakfast, lunch, dinner and any snacks in between. ;-) We did bring some things to eat in our room which saved us time and an angry tummy.

After the General Session we broke up into smaller groups of the seminars of our choice. My first class was Leaving Heartprints. The main point I came out with this class is learning that "We were handpicked by God to be our children's mother not to be perfect but to make a difference."

We also must realize our habits can affect our children and we can change that for the sake of our children. ;-) I definitely know that I have some.

We must have stayed up talking and laughing till 2:30am in the morning only to get up by 6:30 to get ready for another day. It was well worth it to have some girl time with some wonderful ladies.

Oh and did I mention getting our pictures done with Kim Hill, Jaci Velasquez, Avalon and hearing Plumb for the first time which i'm going to run out and buy her CDS.

I'm looking forward to MOPS Convention again next year is in Nashville!
