One of my closest friends was interviewed by Women in Ministry about her role as Associate Pastor at Crossroads Church in Weymouth, MA. She’s an awesome example of accepting and fulfilling the call of God on your life. Anne has been a friend among friends. She’s true, trustworthy, faithful, forgiving, and honest. We have been [...]

Ministry goes through seasons. For me, right now is a busy season! Unfortunately, it is during those busy seasons that we begin to forget things. Sometimes it’s no big deal. I forgot to make a vegetable to serve with dinner last night. Oh well. But sometimes it’s highly important. Like forgetting to pick up your [...]

Wowee-wow-wow….it’s been CrAzY busy this last week!! Whew… Last week we had the privilege to go to the Ohio Ministry Network’s minister’s retreat.

In the life of a woman, we wear many hats. A hat of a wife, a minister, a friend, a sister, and a mother! The hat of a mother is the most intriguing role a woman can play. The nineteen years of being a mother is a never-ending journey; one which I have yet to [...]

“For I have plans for you,” (Jeremiah 29:11a). This was the only answer that, time after time, I received from the Lord when I didn’t understand what I was doing living in the United States, far away from my family and friends. I left everything when I decided to get married to my husband of [...]

When Momma Is the Minister The night of my ordination ceremony my biggest concern was whether or not my daughter, less than two weeks from turning two years old, would be content sitting with the senior pastor’s wife during the service while my husband and I were seated with the other ordinands and their spouses [...]

Arrogant Parenting
By · Leave a Comment
I stumbled upon a blog post a few weeks ago where the lady was talking about arrogant parenting. Kind of strong language, to be sure, but it’s really stuck with me. Unfortunately, I didn’t bookmark it so I could send you to read it. But she was, in essence, talking about parents who think they’ve [...]
