Meet Our Mentor Mom: {Misty A.}

We are so thankful for the wondering ministry of our MOPS Mentor Moms! Misty has been an incredible encouragement to many of us moms; she truly has a sweet spirit and kind heart.










Tell us about your family. My husband is Bill, and I have two daughters - Sydney, 14, and London, 8. 


Do you currently work? I run a Mary Kay business from my home and work as a make-up artist for a local photographer as well as wedding make-up periodically.

What is a hobby you have that some of the moms may not know about? As of the last year, I guess I would call running a new hobby.  I am not very fast but I am pretty determined.  :) Aside from that I love music and writing my fitness blog.


What is one piece of advice about motherhood that you would like to pass on? Pray blessings over your children!  Pray that if they are doing something wrong, they will be caught.  And don't forget to take time to just be a woman, just you!


What was the most challenging part for you about being a young mom? I struggled with leaving my children with a sitter.  It needed to be done however so I could put our marriage relationship ahead of our parenting.

What book are you currently (or did you last) reading? Most of my reading time these days is in the Bible.  But, I have recently enjoyed re-reading, "Letters from a Skeptic" by Greg Boyd.

Do you have a favorite Bible verse you would like to share? This is the most difficult question!  I feel like my favorites change with each day.  One of my all-time favorites however is John 16:33 "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace.  In this world you will have trouble.  But take heart!  I have overcome the world."  Those words are specifically from Jesus.  And although the struggles that we have in this world can be completely overwhelming, they are nothing compared to the sacrifice that Jesus chose to make for us.  And he's encouraging us!

How has your experience been with being a MOPS mentor mom?  I am incredibly blessed by being a Mentor Mom.  At the beginning of this year, I began praying that this position would really mean something for the women in our group.  I've built a few incredible relationships and am seeing how precious they are.
