A "Footloose" Wedding Moment

  • 💃 Missy recounts a surprise choreographed dance with her son Cole at his wedding, inspired by the movie "Footloose," which was a "dream" moment.
  • 🎶 The chosen song was "You've Got a Friend in Me" from Toy Story, symbolizing their new friendship as he's no longer her child to parent.
  • 🎶 The band improvised the music for the dance, adding an unexpected element to the planned choreography.

Family Heirlooms and Legacy

  • 💍 Missy shares how she used a collection of antique china plates from her ancestors for the rehearsal dinner, each named after a grandmother.
  • 📜 A significant family heirloom was a Bible from 1875, passed down through generations, which guests were invited to sign with their favorite verses.
  • 📖 This Bible held special significance as it belonged to Cole's great-great-grandmother, Betty Foster, after whom Cole is partially named.

Supporting Military Families Through the Mia Moo Fund

  • 🇺🇸 Missy details how the Mia Moo Fund quietly supported a National Guard family during a government shutdown.

  • 💰 The fund provided $1,000 in Visa gift cards, offering crucial support during their time of desperation.

The Importance of Mentorship

  • 🤝 She has initiated mentorship weekends for women aged 22-32, creating an intimate space to connect with the word and find direction.
  • 🙏 These weekends often culminate in baptisms, symbolizing a surrender to the Lord and a commitment to leading their families in faith.

Navigating Life and Faith
