"Second Cup is a safe space where I can share my vulnerabilities
and weaknesses, with a group of women who I know won’t judge me,
but instead, will support me. There are so many moments where I
feel lost and confused, but during my time together, April makes us
women aware of our purpose. Our purpose is Jesus."

I was tickled pink to raise 3 little girls to love the Lord, themselves and others. Beginning in 1992 my husband and I were given the biggest gift ever, daughters! For me, motherhood was fun, creative, sweet, hard, tiring, messy, serious, heartbreaking, emotional and expensive. But I loved every minute of it!
I became a Christian in 1999 and that’s when the girls and I learned about Jesus, together. What I learned, they learned. A Bible was usually out on my kitchen table and a scripture on the chalkboard. But, there were times when I needed to step away and be alone without my family so I could really hear from the Lord and be among my community of friends. That’s how I came up with “Mommy School”. I’d tell my girls whenever I went away to retreat for a day or a weekend that I was going to Mommy School to learn how to be a better mommy. My tenderhearted girls would often rebuttal by saying, “We don’t want you to go, we like you how you are!" Adorable. Mommy School will be a post for you, Mommy, to be encouraged in your season of motherhood. I’ll share with you the things that I learned by trial and error to empower and encourage you as a mom. I hope you feel blessed and will have a fresh perspective on motherhood. The days of mothering are long, but the years go by fast. You’ll see. |
"April is a truly gifted woman who is dedicated to giving others an uplifting and open-filled experience. I was deeply moved by the grace and poise with which April guided our group. Her unwavering commitment to giving everyone an exceptional soul experience is aspirational. What strikes me most about April is the genuine kindness and compassion she extends to every individual. Her ability to embody these virtues in her interactions serves as an inspiration. In a world often filled with challenges, April exemplifies the profound impact one person can have through sincerity and empathy."

Hello, Mrs.!
What's been on my heart lately is to provide a space for one hour of confidential prayer for marriages. Ephesians 3:20 says, "God who is able to do more than we can image or home for." God is for you and not against you. He is for your marriage. Prayer for your marriage, and your husband will change things, receive answers, give guidance and even heal. Mrs., prayer is the control you have for your marriage. Prayer allows us you to pray for anything that is on your heart about your marriage; finances, residence, love, respect, children, addiction, temperament, sex, boundaries, mothers-in-law (big one!), your job and motherhood. I'm married 35 years now, and I know how difficult it can be. Prayer is your superpower, Don't be afraid. I can assure you, the 'Villian' will do everything in his power to discourage you because he wants to destroy your marriage. 1 Peter 5:8-9. You don't have to pray out loud. Just attend and listen. God knows your heart. NO PRESSURE! If you're not praying for your marriage, who is? April xx |
Answer to Prayer:
"After we prayed for each other’s marriages, April told us,
'Now let’s wait for results,' and I wasn’t sure that I would see them so fast. But God showed me that he was listening to our prayers. Last night my husband and I had such a special night. He complemented me very much and we had a very nice conversation. Something that I was not expecting. I am blessed to have been part of this prayer time and I can’t wait to see what God will continue to do, not only in my marriage but in the marriage of the other ladies who were there. I hope more women can join this group and experience what God allowed me to experience in just one night of prayer.
Thank you for showing me the impact that prayer has in my relationship with my husband."
Love, Liz R.

April holds a comfortable and judgment free space for women to gather and share what they are going through during the different seasons of life. April provides tender support and applicable tools for everyday challenges we may face. I always leave feeling totally filled up! |
2nd cup has been such a refreshing and needed time to fellowship and learn with other sisters in Christ. April leads with grace and love and keeps the dialogue very open and judgement free. I am so thankful for our time together and that God brought these women into my life. |
