Today we had our first official meeting for Moms of Influence! What a great morning! It was so nice to come together and see our friends after our "summer break". It was really great to see a number of new faces as well! We started the morning with an ice breaker game and then watched a funny "rap" VIDEO (by Anita Renfroe) about motherhood.
Our speaker shared some thoughts about how other women in our lives influence us and how we can influence others. She shared three definitions of INFLUENCE:
1) The POWER to be a compelling force.
2) The action or PROCESS of producing effects on the actions, behavior, opinions, of others.
3) To affect by GENTLE action.
She also encouraged us to influence others in our lives to use their God-given gifts, to look for ways to influence others/take little steps to make a difference, to be intentional about influencing others, and to slow down and find "gentle" ways to reach out to those in need.
Our speaker concluded by reminding us that the greatest influence in our lives is our relationship with Jesus and shared the following verse:
"Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, 'Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water'". John 7:38 ESV
We had a wonderful morning and are looking forward to our next meeting (topic - Women's Friendships) on October 4th!!
