MEET THE STEERING TEAM: Lindsay Marlow & Amy Provo

I've been enjoying this series - getting to know the Steering Team members, getting a peek into their lives and learning things about them I probably wouldn't learn otherwise. Haven't you? Today, I have asked our TABLE LEADER CO-COORDINATORS, Lindsay and Amy, to tell us a bit more about themselves. These women are both so amazing and bridge the gap in our leadership - between the Steering Team and the Table Leaders.

Lindsay Marlow

Hi guys! I'm Lindsay Marlow. I am the Table Leader Co-Coordinator with the awesome Amy Provo. I joke that she is my better (more organized) half. She will argue that we just each have our own strengths, and together, we make a whole. 

I am an Army Wife. I love this job, even though it is a tough one. Aaron and I have been married for 8 1/2 years, and we have two beautiful girls Gracie Belle (5) and Ellie Jo (1 1/2). I am very thankful. We are moving soon (in Clarksville), and hubby is gone, so please pray for us in that. 

This is my 5th year in Moms to Moms. That is so hard for me to believe! Time really does fly! It has been such a huge blessing in my life. Through my struggle with postpartum depression, numerous deployments, and just learning how to "Mom", these ladies have been there for me. 

Moms to Moms has also provided the perfect opportunity for me to serve as a mom. I remember having a desire to serve and do ministry, but found it difficult with a small child (now children). M2M is perfect for that. We are nourished and can give back at the same time. Serving has given me the opportunity to build deep relationships with some of the other ladies who help make our group happen. I remember struggling to connect my first year, so don't give up if this is you! Just join our leadership next year! (Wink!) I'm so glad each of you have joined us, and I can't wait to get to know you more throughout the year. 

Amy Provo

I’ve been married for 9 years and have been a mom for 12 years! I adopted a young girl while I was single and finishing up college! ;) When I married my husband, I became a bonus mom to 2 boys! Since being married, I’ve had 2 more boys. I come from a large family in MN, which has very much shaped the person I am today.   

I enjoy trips to the beach (who doesn’t??) and visiting my family when possible! I also love camping with my husband and boys. My favorite daily activities include working out and cooking yummy meals!

This year I have joined forces with Lindsay, because we fill in each other’s missing pieces so well, and am a Table Leader Co-coordinator.  We make an incredible team! Before this year, I was a table leader for 2 seasons. I have really enjoyed the opportunity to more actively participate in reaching out to other moms and sharing about God’s amazing and unending love and grace! 

I am ever so grateful for my dear friend, Sandie, inviting me to this group of awesome moms! It has absolutely been a place of refreshment and a place of strength…and at the same time, a great place for my heart to be opened to so many opportunities to serve God’s people! My faith has grown and my heart has grown so much since joining 5 years ago! 

My favorite things about M2Ms are –1) meeting other moms in the same season of life!! 2) having so many direct opportunities to serve in our community…from meal trains to gathering food for the hungry to collecting supplies for the homeless.
