MOMMY Moment…. By Julie Hoagland
November 17
We were at Wal-mart shopping and Isaiah said "mama poo-
Lily Table
Tulip Table poo! My worst nightmare, a public bathroom and of all
places, Wal-mart. I said "are you sure?" Isaiah said "yes,
right now,." We scurried to the bathroom, parked our cart
and off we went. I carefully layered toilet seat covers and
prayed we would not be bombarded with to many germs.
He sat down and immediately the automatic toliet flushed
itself. He jumped straight up! He asked me what it was
and why? I told him it was the toilet and it was okay, it
was doing what it was supposed to do. Again, it flushed
and we went through the same drill of me explaining that it
was fine. I started laughing and could not regain my com-
posure. The bathroom was very crowded and I know peo-
ple were listening to us. Finally, Isaiah relaxed and told me
it was okay and that he knew why the toilet was flushing. I
asked him why and he replied.....It's Jesus!

sim·pli·fy Welcome Moms! - Mom2Mom Coordinator
I want to thank you for helping pioneer this brand new, dynamic women’s ministry here at PFC!
to make simple I along with our coordinator team, are blessed by your presence. You’ve done an amazing job
or simpler; to navigating through the first day and morning drop off routine! Take a deep breath and give
yourself some kudos for making it here despite everything else that needed to get done this
reduce to basic morning… you’re here. and that’s all that matters! I’m guessing as you were preparing to leave
essentials; to this morning, you had a list of things running through that mind of yours. It seems there’s a never
ending list of to-do’s in our schedule. All the while trying to keep up with our children’s needs, our
diminish in scope husbands needs, our household, friendships, ministries, work! Life can be exhausting, let’s face
it! But isn’t there a comfort in knowing that we’re not alone in our efforts to be the best moms we
or complexity ; possibly can be? Knowing that our Creator, who pre-destined us to be the moms of our children,
to streamline; to equipped us to be the very best for the one’s he’s entrusted to us? In addition, to also know that
we can turn to one another for questions, for help, for a listening ear in our time of need? A friend
clarify of mine once said, “You know… it really does take a village to raise a MOM!” And isn’t that the
truth?!
As I’m typing this welcome letter I’m currently over 30,000 feet in the air traveling out of state for
a five day girl’s only vacation with some of my high school friends. I gotta admit: life seems so
very different from way up here. Problems seem so very tiny at this altitude! But I came on this
flight with some “baggage”… let me tell you! On the eve of my departure, I had a li’l, shall we
say, “break-down” of sorts! Weeping over concerns and worries that, in hind sight, weren’t really
mine to own. Details over this ministry. Mommy guilt for leaving my baby for five days. Packing.
Cleaning. Meals. All the little things that us moms fret over and can’t seem to clear our minds of.
This morning, before my husband left for work, he prayed over me. And I began to regain God’s
perspective rather than trying to cling to my own. That prayer did wonders for me. Getting Godly
perspective in addition of having a visual of the earth from way up here, really helped get my
mind right!
We have a huge God, Ladies! And in the midst of all of us trying to figure out this life of
motherhood” he cares enough to speak in to us this year about SIMPLICITY! He wants to show
us how big he can be if we would only allow him to be! And how small and very manageable our
list of to do’s really are through His eyes, and not our own! We love each and every one of you
and are thrilled you want to join us as we learn… so COME! GROW WITH US!! Let’s Simplify
our lives through Godly wisdom!
