 Hold
Babies, Drive Girls:
Very simple actions. Yet these actions
provide many opportunities. By holding a
baby, you nurture that little soul. The
little hand that reaches out to you may be a
hand that someday will hold a Bible or a 9
mm pistol. They may play the piano or spin a
gambling wheel; they may dress a wound or
tremble, uncontrolled by an alcoholic mind.
These are the hands of the future.
Mothering matters to the future of these
children. The teen moms receive information
about many topics to help them be better
mothers at our meetings, helping them mold
the souls and hands of their children. In
order to do this, we need to get them to our
meetings. The Teen MOPS leaders are running
out of space in their cars. Each of us took
a step of boldness when we said we would
drive. We left our comfort zone and traveled
into unknown neighborhoods. As a result, we
are providing a listening ear, building
relationship, and understanding struggles.
God is doing remarkable things in this
ministry. We are growing, we are stretching
and we are trusting in His provision
