Leader

I have never thought of myself as a leader. I have always been a follower.  Done what everyone around be does.  This week I received an email from a lady in my MOPS group.  One of the mom's in the group had taken a full time job and would not be able to fulfill her duties as a small group leader within our large group.  She was asking if anyone would like to take the responsibilities on.  After talking with a friend and praying about it I emailed her and let her know that if she did not find someone else I would take it over.  I guess that is where God wants me because no one else replied!  LOL!  It is a job that I will enjoy doing and hopefully be good at.  It will take some time for me to get used to everything but I am looking forward to it. I will not be at our next meeting so today I made little gift bags for each of the ladies in my small group as a "welcome to our group".  It is just a little something but I think they turned out nice.  They are called Scripture Kits and here is a list of everything in them.

This is a picture of the contents of the bag!

 Of course this isn't the finished bag but a good idea. I am also going to add a business card with all of my info on it.  I hope they like them and pray that I do a good job at it. I really am super duper excited about it!  I already have ideas for play dates and things in my head!


On another note, I went to a gold party to night. Tori of Keepin up with the Jordans hosted it.  I wasn't going to go because I didn't have any gold that I really wanted to sell.  I don't have much but what I do have I would like to save for Tempe because of sentimental reasons.  But when my cousin called and said she made $500 I went and looked again!  I found two rings, a pair of earrings, and bracelet that I didn't mind selling if the price was right.  I went and when the lady told me she could give me over $250 for it I said take it!!! It was all things I had not worn in years and had no memory for me.  I was so excited!  Now I have some spending money.  Haha!!
