It is nice to attend here, because these women, many of whom raised large families, completely understand why the younger women can't help out. This is such a blessing, and as an added benefit, when I am able to attend ladies' functions, I find that many of these older ladies filled with wisdom, especially in the Titus 2 area.<br /><br />Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02319295883808264474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591712229039680133.post-69685385461812373922015-04-16T19:26:41.496-06:002015-04-16T19:26:41.496-06:00 If our house is not in order...we cannot have a s...

I was...I know this from experience to be true Roxy. I was a young mother when I was asked to head up the women's ministry in my church. Perhaps it was my previous managerial experience from the career I had given up coupled with the fact I was not a working mother that made me a candidate. Although I had a team of women of all ages to assist me, I was the one who had to attend all the meetings for church leaders. There were so many meetings to attend I spent more time at the church than in my own home! Then there were the phone calls during the week mainly from disagreeable, disgruntled women who had some issue with how things were being run. It was making the decision to homeschool that finally gave me the nudge to give women's ministry away. It was a ministry which my husband and young children could not be involved in and it's only in recent years I have come to understand the power of whole family ministry. As you may know we are involved in a hospitality based ministry that reaches out to young people from China and other parts of Asia. The Lord has brought the mission field to our doorstep and we literally have become 'family' to some of these young people when they are in our country. What a blessing it is to minister together as a family. To share our table and the trampoline! (Yes, the trampoline - you would never believe how much the students love jumping on our trampoline with the children!) No committee meetings to attend - we just do it as the Lord leads and brings the ones He wants us to reach across our path.Ann at eightacresofedenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15524581927752695509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591712229039680133.post-59317131414353171032015-04-15T20:20:03.451-06:002015-04-15T20:20:03.451-06:00I believe that words give off vibrations.

When I read something negative, I can feel strength dwindling....and when I read powerful positive words I feel stronger. <br />I also agree that it's essential to follow your purpose and not be distracted by what others think you should be doing.<br />RRick Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005727239466916086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591712229039680133.post-53996531352787508132015-04-15T18:44:31.529-06:002015-04-15T18:44:31.529-06:00Hello There!

To glorify God in all things that I do each day and if I can encourage one person a day, I feel like I have done what God has called me to do. So many women are being lost in the system of society that we tend to never want to go back to being at home. I am very fortunate to be the one that was called home after working outside the home for many years. <br /><br />Great post!<br /><br />Hugs, AmyGod's Grace Overflowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02373639150472128918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591712229039680133.post-84916297873637941812015-04-15T18:25:18.610-06:002015-04-15T18:25:18.610-06:00Roxy, this is such a beautiful post and I applaud ...Roxy, this is such a beautiful post and I applaud you for speaking out for women. I remember when my children were very young, I would be asked to do this or that, attend this function or committee. As a homeschooling Mom I would gracefully decline. At one point I was admonished for not doing my part, but I felt strongly that my job at that time was to fulfill my duty in the home. I have no regrets about missing a ladies retreat or conference when it would take me away from what I felt the Lord leading me to do. Did my children turn out perfectly? No. But I still feel that God led us to train up our children in the way they should go, and looking back I know we were being obedient to His calling.

Not that being in the ministry is wrong, there has to be a balance and direction from God.<br /><br />Oh that we would have the peace of God right where He wants us.<br /><br />Have a great day,<br />DebbieDebbie Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16661813843716269751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591712229039680133.post-76915338063329957092015-04-15T11:39:46.123-06:002015-04-15T11:39:46.123-06:00Dear Roxy...what you write is so very true and I p...Dear Roxy...what you write is so very true and I pray many ladies will be encouraged by these beautiful words!<br />Blessings and much love in Jesus Christ,<br />Kelly-AnneKelly-Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14439145629751304862noreply@blogger.com
