Okay ladies, I want to bounce something off of you and ask for your suggestions. Obviously the first thing I need to do is pray about this (and I have been) but I want your insight on how you would handle the matter in addition to prayer. Tell me what you would do with the following. We have s...

That's exactly how I'm feeling. I'm drowning, going deeper & deeper, with no one there to save me. I know I'm depressed. I've worked myself to death. I'm doing HORRIBLE at the whole "balancing work & home" thing. And church? I don't want to even mention ch...

I just read the Oct. Nitty Gritty regarding friendships in the church you pastor at. Wow! Very good and so very true. I do agree that the "Maria's" are rare! I have personally broken all the guidelines in having a very close friend in the church. However, at church we ...

Okay, I have a brand new problem and I don't know how to handle it. Actually, it is the Pastor's problem, but see if any of you have ever had this happen. We're a small church...really small. One of the lovely women came to my home recently. (I'll call her Mary) When I answered the door,&nb...

I'm not talking about best friends...the "bare your soul and diclose all the nitty gritty details of life and ministry" kinds of friends. I thank God at least twice a day that DH and I already have those friends - and they live close enough (and at the same time far enough away, lol!) to get togethe...

I know I havent posted in a long long while but I just had to say, this months article was SO good. Thank you so much Deanna. I am lucky to have a dh that tells me everyday how much he needs me and how helpful I am to him. You are right on in all you said and it was just an awesome encouragement. Keep us in prayer a...

Well...the much-anticipated Women In Ministry Conference, Mid-states region, is OVER! It feels good to have one thing off my plate...this has been something I've been working on for a year and a half, and it was sort of a big sigh of relief for it to be over. As a committee member AND admin...

Please remember me in prayer. I decided to stop complaining about not having enough time for my family and ministry. God has given me a wonderful skill set that has been well-developed through the years. So I'm going to slowly start adding freelance clients over the next six months to a year so I...

Just a note to update and encourage all of you lovely ladies! This was a crazy summer for me, I dealt with all kinds of health issues and stresses, I changed jobs - which led to the health issues and stresses, but I digress... Today I am in a much better place, God has done great things in my lif...

As most of you know, I started working at the church full time this week. As some of you are aware of, I leave next week for the branch of the national Women in Ministry conference (I've been on the committee since May of '05, and our chairs were gracious enough to allow me to remain on it even when I mo...

Okay, so I just found out today about some of the "revisionist history" being spread by people from my old church concerning DH and me. I found out because a former teenager from the church (who became embittered and left the church...she's 21 now and calls herself an atheist) wrote a scathing blog t...

We're home, but as I mentioned I really hit the floor running. Because of a health problem, we spent 7 weeks on vacation--up on the coast of Oregon where the temperature was toooo cool and the people are warm. When we arrived, we began to pray that God would open doors. But what God showed me was that I...

I know you started working but I've been missing you! Being a working mom is hard I know! You're in my thoughts and prayers! Couldn't find your email to save my life! Stop by and chat when you can. Love you bunches.

Remember the 80's sitcom, "A Different World?" I have the theme song running through my head today..."It's a different wo-o-orld...than where you're comin' from." I know and believe that I have been called here, and it is like night and day compared to where I came from, but I just don't know...
