When I first got asked to take on this roll, I thought whoa do I have big shoes to fill! I know everyone can agree with me that Rebecca has done an amazing job with this position! Talk about such a kind, giving, caring woman of God! Thank you for your friendship and making me feel so welcome when I first joined the MOPS group! Rebecca has asked me to write a little about myself so you can all get to know me better.
You are first off probably thinking "Mieka?" that's a different name! My dads family is from the Netherlands so it is a dutch name. In English it is a form of Mary. I grew up in Le Sueur, MN(near St. Peter/Mankato) and then moved up to the cities to attend college at Northwestern Bible College. A friend that I met at Northwestern introduced me to my husband Steve. We dated for 6 years and were then married in 2006. We now live in Andover with our 3 children Bryce(4 yrs) Alivia(2 yrs) and Drew (6 mos). We attend Eagle Brook Church in Spring Lake Park. I found MOPS through my mother-in-law Kathy Tokle who is the head mentor mom. I have been in MOPS for 4 years now!
I am so excited to be taking on this new role! I feel like the Lord has called me to serve and step out of my comfort zone(pray for me;))! I am so excited to get to know you all better! Please feel free to come talk/email me if you have any other questions or prayer requests or just need someone to talk to! I am here!
Have a wonderful Easter with your families!
In Christ,
Mieka Tokle
