Summary from Liz Nead

Thanks again for inviting to speak to your MOPS group. I thought they were a fun and open group!

I wanted to follow up and summarize what we talked about.

Nothing with God is impossible. You are called to "ask and imagine" and let God do the rest.
Don't let your fear of failure keep you from those amazing seeds of vision in your life.
Don't externalize your life- you were born with the Holy Spirit living inside of you!
You have a game you can play better than anyone else- you were born with it! When you play your game, you can move towards fulfilling the life God intended for you.
We explored three different areas of "game."

Love (Romantic)

Health

Mothering

Love:
Think about what works for you, what relaxes you, what gets you going. When you open
yourself up, you also open up your partner to love you and invest in you!
Ask for what you want (think shaving)- if you are into a clean shaven husband, then tell him
that! Get yourself ready and let your partner know you want to hook up later in the day.
It will make it exciting for you. If you feel unattractive, you will not be attracted. What can you do to prepare yourself? Get cute, get moving, get rest. Get it out- what are you holding back emotionally? Try to talk it out. Be affirming. Don't hold your game back from your partner!

Health:
What is your game in health? Nurture yourself so you can give to your family and community fully as God intended. Get enough rest. Take time for yourself. Eat the right things- what works for your chemistry. Acknowledge your health issues - don't "wish or pretend" them
away!

Mothering:
Again, remember- take care of you so you can take care of your children
Be in the moment - take time to enjoy the kids
Don't set yourself up for failure in your life. - Take care of yourself so you have the
energy and clarity to take care of those who depend on you!
