We can hardly get past Christmas before stores put out Valentine's Day cards and decorations. As women, it seems like we're put in one of two categories: you either have a Valentine or you don't. For those of us who are single, it can be a challenging time of year! In churches, we often offer a couple's dinner or a daddy daughter dance, but single women aren't always acknowledged. It's more than … [Read more...]

Have you ever waited on the Lord? Have you ever had to wait longer than you wanted to wait on Him? Me too. Sometimes, the best thing you can do as a leader is to just wait. Stand still. Don’t move. Don’t even put your baby toe in the water before the Lord says to move. Waiting is so hard, especially for those of us who lead. Oftentimes, there’s a lot of pressure from others around … [Read more...]

"Ten years from now, you’ll be the same person you are today, except for the people you meet, the books you read, the places you go, and the things you memorize.” -Jay Strack There's so much truth in the simplicity of this quote. I have been continually challenged by this idea as a leader. I am who I am, but certain things in my life will change. These changes come as a result of decisions … [Read more...]
I just moved to Nashville in September and I still feel like I’m getting settled. The last few months have been spent visiting various churches, and it’s a difficult process. I’m 28 and single, so I visited quite a few churches by myself. Even though I'm a pastor's kid and have been in church my whole life, it doesn't make the process of finding a new church any easier. After several … [Read more...]

Tomorrow starts a new year... Can you believe it?? I’m the type who sets really lofty goals, only to be disappointed when I don’t meet them (or I quit) within the first few weeks. For 2013, I’m trying to set reachable goals, but challenge myself at the same time. One of my goals is to read the books on my shelf that I’ve either not finished or haven’t even cracked open. I love buying a … [Read more...]

Mary has been on my mind so much lately. Last year, I wrote a post about her on Christmas Eve over on my own blog. I still can't imagine what was going through her heart and mind, but one thing is so evident: she trusted the Lord. And Mary said to the angel, "How will this be, since I am a virgin?" And the angel answered her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most … [Read more...]
We announced something big at the Women's Forum this year, but many of you haven't heard about it yet! For the 2013 Women's Ministry Forum, we are challenging you to bring a younger leader with you. The first 100 leaders who register themselves and register a young leader will be able to register her for only $25! Here are a couple of stipulations: The younger leader MUST be 35 or … [Read more...]
