my new favorite thing to do
April 8, 2010 | Books, Faith: Knowing Christ, Family: Nurturing Family
I just talked with Denise. She’s hosting a Bible study for women in her home, going through the tough work of pushing past the past and moving forward as moms and women of faith. They have chosen my book, The Mom I Want to Be.
“Will you mind calling in and talking with the women?” she asked.
Are you kidding me? I love that. In fact, it’s my new favorite thing to do.
I love speaking. I feel privileged to write. But having time in a small group of women to connect, to listen, to talk about issues in a smaller group of friends is amazing.
I don’t have all the answers. But I love the dialogue as we find them together. I love prayer. I love encouraging each other.
If you are reading The Mom I Want to Be and are in a small group, please let’s set a date for a phone call. If I’m in your area speaking, let’s set a date for lunch or a get-together with your small group.
I’d love that.

I could only dream of this. I live in the Seattle/Tacoma Metro area. Do you ever come here?
April 9th, 2010 at 12:22 pmHello, I love all the Proverbs 31 devotions! They always inspire me and I have forwarded them on to others. I enjoy writing. I have always done this for many years. But over the last few years I have had the privilege of leading a small ladies group in my church called Leading Ladies. This year God gave me the opportunity to hold my own ladies retreat with another local church of about 13 women. I was so nervous but I know now it was in His plan. I realized that weekend God is opening the door for me. I say this because I know I am called to speak. I had the fear for many years I could not do it because I had no education other than being a high school graduate and I am not a Pastor’s wife. I am over that fear Praise the Lord! I desire to receive from leaders the structure and the wisdom in speaking at church events. I have been serving under a ministry in and out of my church that speaks to women. This would mean so much to me to win the scholarship to the She Speaks Conference. I believe this will teach me and draw me closer to the will of God for my life. I cannot afford to pay for the conference. I am in the process of having fundraisers now for my kids to do their dreams and mom has to be put on the back burner sometimes. But I am so hungry and humble for direction in my faith walk that I know coming to this conference will help me to spread what I learn with many other women. I have a story to tell and I know God wants me to get it out. I am a miracle to even be alive and to have a successful marriage and family at that! I know it’s all in God’s timing for when He wants me to speak and the doors of opportunity are opening up even as I type. Thank you for considering me for this scholarship. If I don’t get it, I know God will bless the one who does receive it. And may she walk out her purpose and calling to be the woman of God she is called to be!
Serving HIM,
