Mom-Daughter Teas at FBC, West Point

Today I was privileged to be the speaker for the first annual Mother-Daughter teas at First Baptist Church, West Point, MS. The ladies did a fabulous job planning and coordinating the event. The tables were beautifully decorated, the snacks and teas delicious and the turnout was wonderful with a great group of 2nd-6th graders and their moms this morning, followed by a even large group of 7th-12th graders and their moms this afternoon.

The topic for both events was beauty from the inside out. I wanted to convey to the girls how they are truly beautiful in God’s sight and that he has a beautiful plan for their lives. That your life is more than just about outer beauty but is about the “perfect will” and plan that he has for them. The role that He has destined for them to play.

I shared with them about being “set apart” and what it would take to do that. With the younger girls we looked at Queen Esther and I had the girls join me in the Tiara Club. With the older girls I used many Scriptures and personal stories to help them understand how to find and follow God’s plan.

One of the most powerful parts of today’s events was the prayer time I encouraged between moms and daughters, in the older girls group I noticed a few tears being shed. Whether the tears were of joy or of sorrow I never feel that tears are a bad thing. God was at work! Amen!

I enjoyed the event thoroughly and know that God did all the work, I’m always amazed to stand to speak for Him at how He completely takes over and speaks through me!
