M&M

M&M ~ Is it candy? Is it initials for names? Is it a name of a dessert?
None of the above ~ it's our Woman 2 Woman Mentoring Program at Oasis Church

Mentor & Mentee....

Over the past couple of years I have been involved with the program as a Mentor to several ladies in our church... all the while I was a Mentee to the Program Director... Tonia Melton ... unbeknown to me and while God was moving and doing different things with our Women's Ministry - He was using Tonia as my Mentor... I could not ask for a better Mentor... She is not only my Mentor, but my "girlfriend", my sister, my encourager, my confidant, my example, she is my accountability partner... She has helped me on my journey of life with where I have been, where I am going and where God is leading me. I was so blessed to have Tonia in my life to help me through when my mother was so ill. Today I am a better woman because of the influnce of a Mentor in my life... Thank You Tonia!


Now you need to consider how you can become involved with The Mentoring / Mentee program at Oasis Church! On a daily basis I watch ladies connect with other ladies and do life together! I watch as they travel their journey of life ~ how they share some of the most funnest moments and then some of the saddest or even intimate times of their lives. Each lady encourages and supports each other on this journey that God has before us!

Where are you on this journey? Are you doing life without a "girlfriend"? You need not - get involved with Oasis Church Women's Ministry! Ask how you can get involved...

Tonight was a great evening out... We started with a movie first - he had picked the movie "Proposal"... it was a great way to start our evening... I laughed so hard I was crying...

After the movie we went to Ruth Chris Steak House... delicious dinner!!! Of course, we had to have dessert... That topped the evening off...

This was a very special evening... Thank you James Brown... I love you...

Our Summer Vacation and then back to work...

Well it has been a month since I've shared my journey...

We began our summer journey with taking the kids to Washington, DC for 6 days... WOW ~ THAT WAS AWESOME! Loved the history...







Then we came back ~ got clean clothes and traveled to Naples, FL for the Rogers' Reunion..








We finally came home July 5 and everyone had to get back to work...
Jim back to church, Kodie babysitting all over, David is working at Chick-fil-a and I'm not working (at least not for a paycheck that is)...



I am volunteering as the Director of the Women's Ministry this year at Oasis Church. I absolutely love it! I have found my passion ~ my heart's desire... I am so content in God's will with this position.



I will begin sharing my journey more this year as God continues to unwrap all the gifts He has in store for our family...
