Good Morning Ladies,

My name is Kathy and from Michigan and looking to meet some new friends and some great christian fellowship. The past year has been a rough one and I need so much help being picked up after being ran over by so much loss, I lost my sister in Sept 20th and my husband lost his father the next day, not 6 months later we lost my husbands mother. I am looking for some happiness, some direction and scared that I have been hiding on God since this all happened.

Hello all!

   My husband and I recently moved to a new town after we both graduated from college, and shortly after, we found out that I have a bulging disc in my back.  While I have been stuck at home recovering, I have been starving for some fellowship! I haven't been able to sit through a church service yet, and since we just moved, I don't have a group of friends or a Bible study or anything to lean on. My husband has been amazing through all of this-- supportive and encouraging-- but he can't fill up my need to be involved in the Body of Christ in some way. I hate not being able to serve or at least involved in a ministry of some sort. So, I joined this group for some ideas about what to do with myself while I'm incapacitated! Any thoughts?

Hullo women who serve,

Am glad to join you on this group and i would like to encourage you with the words that encouraged me also. Plz Read Jeremiah 29: 11-14 and jeremiah 32:27 and just know that God is more than able in all our daily toills and struggles as christian women.

I am a group leader in our womens group in in our church and if am given an opportunity i speak out God's word in our gathering as women. God has better plan for us beyong our imaginations.

God bless you.

Hello all,

I'm 31 years old and work in a local civil service in Ga.  I'm currently a 911 operator for the police and fire departments.  I also am training as an EMT/Paramedic.

I recently have been involved in talking with other Christian women who have found themselves dealing with a divorce or an abusive marriage.  I have experienced both and have found comfort in several scriptures. 

I hope all is well and that you are blessed in the Lord's great love.

Hello everyone.

I am 26 years old and have lived all over. I was only saved 5 years ago and make a continual commitment to the Lord. I am hoping to get more involved in women's ministries, and joined this network for fellowship and ideas.

My passion is for the military. I adopt deployed soldiers to take care of their needs, and have made several good friends through the process. The Lord has really blessed me in that area!

 I hope all of you are enjoying your day, and I would love to hear from some of you!! Don't be strangers

Hi Everyone; I'm just checking you all out.  My name is Tammy.  I am a military spouse of an army bandsman.  I homeschool 4 kids.  I am a bible study leader and will be doing programs for our local Protestant Woman of the Chapel on our military post.  Serving Christ is an on purpose moment by moment thing.  I live to bring Glory to the Father.  I'm interested in finding a down time for myself and this is a simple way of doing it, while encouraging and gaining Godly insight.  I'm looking forward to seeing what God has in store for this group and what I'm to learn from it. 

Blessings to you all.

Hi Everyone;

I'm sorry to say I haven't checked these posts since my first comment. So I'm late saying "thanks Annielyn, for the encouraging words."

And Kathryn, if you're "listening" I wanted to encourage you that your friendship and support can be much appreciated by some married women as well as single. I know that I benefit from knowing single women because being an "empty-nester" I have plenty of time that I can spend away from family. My husband and I get lots of time together, but there are many times I want to spend with just women, and my friends with children aren't able to spend that kind of quality time because the children are alway interrupting and it's hard to have conversations, etc. Just wanted to interject that for thought.

Ladies; I can see that I'm not the only one having trouble getting back to this page to check responses and meet the newcomers. Anyone got any ideas on how to make it easier to comunicate with each other?

Hello, my name is Jenn and I love Women's Ministry!  The church I go to only has about 30 women but we try to do things with them once a month at least.  I would say that because of this we have a close knit family of ladies.  I'm so glad to be here!  I am 29 yrs old, married and have two little boys.  I am in the leadership of women's ministries at my church and last year God help me to hold a ladies conference along with the other women of my church. With their help and support it was a great time!  Let me encourage you to speak up if you have an idea.  Many times we get scared to speak up and say an idea we have and it gets put off.  I would love to share some ideas and glean some ideas.  My husband is looking to pastor a church one day so I will definatly have to have ideas for our women's ministry then.

Hi Everyone!

Happy New Year! and keep on keeping on for GOD!

Just wanted tomention Sanctity of Human Life is Sunday Jan 20th. Many crisis pregnancy centers will have open houses and may need volunteers! 

If you are in San Diego CA stop by CAPS.

For those wanting to work with orphanages check out Amor Ministries or Corazon de Vida. Again, both in SoCal but they do incredible work.

Have a blessed day and enjoy the people around you!

Welcome Justme!

It's so great to listen to your passion about serving and in being alert to where God is calling you.

Being needed is important, and I pray that you will find a place to serve with all of your heart.

I hope that you find support and inspiration in our group! Welcome again.

Hi ladies!

I am new to this online group and am so glad I found you.  I am in my mid-30's and am searching for a way to express my faith through service.  One of my passions is the pro-life movement, and would love to find a way to get positively involved.  I am also interested in helping orphans somehow, but with action rather than just cash.  Both are important, but I am really feeling God nudging me towards action in some way.  I need to do this for others, and I also want to be a better example of faith in action for my family.  Our church doesn't seem to need a seemingly nobody like me with little money to throw at their ministries.  So I guess I also need to be needed. 

Thanks for listening.  I would love to hear any suggestions you have.

God Bless.

Happy New Year everyone!

I'm looking forward to a great year in 2008 and seeing the unique ways that God has planned for each of us to serve Him.

Anyone come up with any resolutions that will support them in their service this year?

I look forward to hearing what everyone has come up with. My personal resolution is to ask myself each day this question:

"What are my opportunities today to grow more into the person God created me to be?"

This question will help me focus on using my time in ways to glorify God that are unique to my purpose and design.

Here's to living life on purpose in 2008!

Hello;

I am glad to be apart of a group that is focused on serving God and being an inspiration to others. Currently I work in the automotive industry and I am working towards getting my masters degree.

I am looking forward to meeting and chatting with women who are Christ centered, and positive.

I need some advice.  Christmas is here and in a few days, I'll be visiting with his parents.  His father is sweet, but his mother is..not a nice person.  She is a Christian, but a lot of the times, doesn't act like it.  I could read you a laundry list of the things she has done to us, but suffice it to say, it has been rough.  I don't want to see her and wish I could just send my husband and I could stay home, but I know that would cause a major blow up and she would be on the war path.  I was hoping that she would mellow out as the years progressed, but that hasn't happened.  She has a vicious tongue that has ripped our family apart, but no one will say anything because of what would happen afterwards.  I know there is probably no real clear cut answers to this, but at least I have laid it out for you all to comment as I can't really share this with anyone I know.

Hello Women who Serve!

I am new to the group and wanted to introduce myself. I am from Michigan and am a part of a Church Plant there. My husband is a Youth Pastor at the church. I serve in several areas, including the Discipleship Team, Hospitality and Women's Ministry.

My passion is to work with women and to help them discover who God created them to be and to live that life with excellence. I love to help women grow in thier Spiritual Walk with God and to discover how their gifts, personality, abilities, experience and education fit together in their own unique purpose.

I work as a Therapist part time and I also am a Certified Life Purpose Coach. You can learn more about me at my website www.turnbullcoaching.com.

I am excited to be a part of this group and to encourage each other as we serve God through our unique purposes. I look forward to getting to know you all better.
