A Beautiful Mess


This year's theme is A Beautiful Mess: Embrace Your Story. So what does this mean? Here's some great reminders for us.



When life gets messy, remember to…
Surrender to the mess, it will eventually get cleaned up
Breathe through it
Praise it.  Life’s challenges and messes can be great character builders and can help to deepen your faith.
Grow from it.  Life’s messes often offer great learning opportunities.
Embrace it and have fun.  Getting messy and letting go can be liberating.
Nourish your soul by turning to those things that bring you joy.

And a big thanks to Angela for sharing some thoughts on how we can embrace one another's stories and build community together. Angela shared that a friend had once told her that she found that women were more open and vulnerable with her when she wasn't wearing any makeup. Being real with one another is essential to building authentic and meaningful community.

Here is the MOPS conversation with Momastery's, Glennon Doyle, that Angela also referenced today. Click HERE to read it.
