Table Team Lead:
The Table Team Lead is a Leadership role that will be responsible for communicating, sending reminders, and meeting with the Table Leads. You will help the Table Leads communicate with their members and assist them with any questions they may have throughout the year. Although it may be helpful to have already been a Table Lead so you know what information was helpful throughout the year, it is not a requirement.
Table Lead:
Table leads will have the opportunity to communicate with their table group throughout the month to check in and remind them of upcoming meetings and events.
Every table group is unique. There are so many things we can learn from each other – things that will help the moms sitting around your table feel welcomed, loved and accepted. As the leader, your task is not to tell the group what to do, but to use questions to draw out what moms need to talk about and to help others understand that often there are no “right” answers. When a person knows you are listening and can relate to her, it opens the door for deeper conversation.

A Full Life
Bethany Clarkson // bethanyclarkson.eyeofthewalr.us
On April 1, 2019, I received the heartbreaking diagnosis of incurable cancer. This news left me completely shocked and filled with fear, especially for my six children, ages 14, 13, 10, and three 9-year-olds. However, amidst the despair, this diagnosis ignited a newfound determination within me to live passionately. It became my opportunity to seize life with passion and purpose.
When confronted with this heartbreaking news, I made a conscious decision to leave the gift of living passionately to my children. Instead of constantly cautioning them to be careful, I began encouraging them to embrace life with joy and excitement. "Have fun!" became my mantra for them. I urged them to seize every opportunity for enjoyment and adventure, reminding them that life is meant to be lived to the fullest.
For a brief moment, I questioned if my encouragement had backfired when my oldest son, Matthew, requested that I go skydiving with him on his 18th birthday. Despite every part of my brain screaming NO, I could only respond with a resounding "YES!"
Two days after his milestone birthday, we jumped out of a perfectly good airplane—together. It's a moment my son and I will always cherish.
“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life and have it to the full.” John 10:10 NIV
Embrace a life of passion! Recognize that God has bestowed upon you this invaluable gift of life, urging you to live with enthusiasm. Let every action you take be a testament to him. Living passionately goes beyond simply enjoying your hobbies. It means finding fulfillment in all your duties, facing trials with resilience, and showing appreciation for the people around you, knowing they are placed in your life by God with purpose.
Embracing life with passion is essential to living a full life and God is calling you to do just that. Step out and enjoy experiences. To live passionately involves seizing every moment, big or small, chasing lifelong dreams, and finding joy in the journey toward their attainment.
If I could impart one message to everyone, it would be to seize life to its fullest! Embrace the chaos, pursue your dreams, and embrace the thrilling adventures that await you! Don’t wait for the diagnosis, or the perfect moment; do it now and have fun!
Questions:
Are you embracing life with passion? Where can you choose to surrender and wholeheartedly trust in God's guidance?
What are three things that ignite your passion? How can you integrate these elements into your daily life?
Is there something you've yearned to do, even if it frightens you?
