Julie
enjoyed joining the "Motherhood is Beautiful"
Discovery Group that Marina leads every week in Ocean
View.
Julie shared about the verse in 1 Timothy 5:8 that
says "Anyone who does not provide for their relatives,
and especially for their own household, has denied
the faith and is worse than an unbeliever."
Julie went on to tell them how she is working on
showing more patience to her children and that she
is quick to go to her children (especially Jensen)
to ask their forgiveness when she speaks too harshly
to them.
The women went around in a circle and shared something
they love about each of their children and something
that is a challenge for them with that child.
The women took the time to ask each other's forgiveness
for past wrongs - naming specifically the wrong and
saying, "Will you forgive me?" They all
chose to forgive each other!
Motherhood is Beautiful!
We
realized that we desperately need a better way to
build spiritual community. A community of young
leaders that is not afraid to pray for each other
– and actually knows the pain and sorrow –
big and small – of their fellow players.
Karl
was recently asked if he would consider becoming
the Youth Director of Coaching for the local soccer
club - Fish Hoek (Ubuntu Football is an elite
soccer academy that is part of Fish Hoek Soccer
Club).
