Becoming Conference Moms: Are you ready for more???

Nine months ago I attended the Becoming Conference for the first time, ever. Not only did I attend the Becoming Conference, but I jumped right in by volunteering.  That's right...what better way to find out what the conference is all about, than by being involved??? [shameless plug: we always need willing volunteers - so feel free to reach me, if you're interested in volunteering!]

I volunteered the first time around, believing that something much bigger than me was being served. And I was right.  I knew that the Becoming Conference was something my daughter & I needed to do together. I knew it was something that would benefit her as a tween-ager ...but what I didn't expect was how much I would benefit, as a mom.

Nine months later, I've had the privilege of leading you and your daughters through the Becoming: Captivated Bible Study; and just this past weekend, I was part of the Becoming Leadership Retreat.  All this to say that my world, as a mom, has been totally rocked - thanks to the Becoming Girls Conference. And, why is that? I mean, in all honesty, my world is rocked on a daily basis simply because I'm the mother of an adolescent girl (...and,you know what I'm talking about!!) 

This conference has opened up gateways for me & my daughter to grow together; and it's given us a gateway to grow as individuals.  I am challenged, comforted, equipped, and humbled as a mom because of the experiences I've shared with my daughter, through the Becoming Girls Conference & The Becoming Captivated Bible study.

Join me again for the next chapter(s) of our journey as mom & daughter.  But don't just read my story. Lord knows I never intended to be a blogger!  I'm here to share, encourage, and reassure you as fellow-moms.  Your daughter needs you - more than you know.  And, your daughter wants a relationship with you - more than you know.  Trust me.  I just spent an entire weekend with young girls who spilled about their hopes, expectations, loves & hates about their mother-daughter relationships.  Your daughter needs you.

As a parent, God has high expectations for you.  You're accountable for raising up and guiding the gift He created in your daughter.   I don't know about you, but it's a job & responsiblity too big for me!!!  I suspect you often feel the same way (or you probably wouldn't be reading this blog.)  Whether you feel equipped or not, with God's grace & presence; and with the company of each other, it's possible. 

Bring your hearts & hurts. Bring your stories. Bring your questions and concerns. We're going to delve into this tween/teen thing, together.

Welcome // Our Pretty Place for Moms

You found us!

Welcome to the Becoming Mom’s Blog spot.  We designed this space to be a haven for all-things-mom & all-things-women of God.  And, we designed it for YOU after our time together at the 2012 Becoming Conference.

Let me warn you: I am not a professional blogger.  

In fact, if I’m going to be completely honest with you, I might as well tell you: this is my first blog post ever!  [I’m secretly hoping that I earn some “cool points” with my daughter for this.]  But, thank God that I don’t have to be a blogging guru to be able to share my heart with you. Together, we’ll use this blogging experience to learn, grow, share, and BECOME together. 

“Become what?” you might ask. Well…You decide.  

God plants a different dream in every woman’s heart. He gives us all a different journey to take.  But the feelings, the trials, the triumphs, and our needs along the way are always similar.  Whatever it is you need this resource for – we’re here to help, support, and encourage you.

Become...a greater woman of God

Become…mothers who inspire their daughters

Become…a more involved mother

Become…a legacy

Become…a friend

Become…a dreamer

Become…_______________________________

Whatever it is you need, wherever it is your are, on your journey of Becoming, wherever it is that your daughter is, you must know, we are here together. 

You can expect to hear from a number of women, who are Godly women, girls and mothers. We are so excited to share our hearts, experiences, and inspiring words with you.
