Melissa
Kristenson (Co-Coordinator) I am so excited about our upcoming Mops year together. So
just a bit about me, I moved to Wyoming 1 year ago from the DC area, where we
were stationed in the Air Force. We decided to leave Military life and
move somewhere with some wide-open spaces. We LOVE Wyoming! My
husband is Erik he and I have been married for 11 years. We have 2 crazy
boys, Alexander who is 9 and Zachary who is 4. Reading and
crocheting are the things that bring me rest and relaxation. Being
outside in this beautiful backdrop God has given us makes my soul at peace. But
for me to Fiercely Flourish I need COFFEE!
Karen Schwarz
(DGL Co-Leader) I'm a wife to Jason for 10 years and
mommy to two precious girls, Kimberlyn (age 8) and Brooklyn (age 5). I
was born and raised in Oklahoma and met and married my hubby when he was stationed
there with the Air Force. I was a medical research technician for 9 years
after college and quit that job when Kimber was born to focus on my favorite
job ever -- being a mom. I am blessed to be able to be a stay at home
mommy! I am so blessed to call Cheyenne home and thrilled with the prospect of
growing old here. I love God and am so thankful that Jesus died for a
sinner such as me! MOPS has been such a blessing and encouragement to me
and I hope and pray it is for you as well! I embrace rest by making sure to
take time for myself and my interests, such as crocheting. I’ve also been
working on getting to bed earlier so I can get the sleep I need. I flourish
fiercely by always choosing joy and thankfulness. I thank God in the midst of
all the troubles, and even though I fail at this every day, I will keep on
trying and thank God for every new day filled with His mercies
Kathy Singh
(Mentor Mom Leader) I’m
a stay at home mom (kind-of). My husband and I co-founded One-Way Evangelistic
Ministries, which currently runs off my kitchen table. We host and lead mission
teams internationally and here in the U.S. We have three treasured children
(ages 14, 16, &18) yes that’s three teenagers’ folks! My break and my
passion are escaping to the world of MOPS, where I wear the title of “mentor mom”
only because my kids had the audacity to grow up. I flourish by renewing my
mind and body by soaking in the Word of God… and by taking naps.
“Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters,
in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and
pleasing to God – this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to
the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is – his good, pleasing
and perfect will. “ – Romans 12:1-2
