Where could I take it?</p> <p>Thank you<br /> Brandy</p> <p>680‑6222</p> </article> <article> <h1>Comment on Strange Blessing by stacy</h1> <p>stacy — Mon, 29 Nov 2010 05:15:31 +0000</p> <p>Oh-Linda, hope you are okay. That’s terrible! I’ll be praying your face heals quickly…and no more head aches!</p> </article> <article> <h1>Comment on Strange Blessing by Jan Watson</h1> <p>Jan Watson — Tue, 23 Nov 2010 19:49:12 +0000</p> <p>Wow… I’m so grateful you continue to listen for God’s voice even through the awful pain as I’m seriously challenged by the “Go Bold or Go Home” motto. It’s exactly what I needed to hear today! Thanks so much for the wisdom. Praying for relief from your pain very soon…</p> </article> <article> <h1>Comment on Ministry Potholes by Ginnie Cowling</h1> <p>Ginnie Cowling — Wed, 13 Oct 2010 16:33:40 +0000</p> <p>Every Woman on a Mission leader that I’ve had the pleasure of knowing has always given God all the credit and glory regarding changes in the hearts and lives of the women participating in this course. If any were tempted to think they were responsible for such changes, they’ve quickly made a course correction, missed that “pothole” and credited The One. I believe that’s just one of the many reasons why He continues to bless and grow this ministry.</p> <p>Thank you for pointing out another challenge facing anyone involved in a ministry or service project–getting addicted to the “good feelings” helping others gives us rather than looking to Christ to meet our needs. Ouch, conviction hurts in a good way. How grateful I am that our God is faithful to forgive.</p> </article> <article> <h1>Comment on Our Smiling God by Ginnie Cowling</h1> <p>Ginnie Cowling — Wed, 13 Oct 2010 15:41:28 +0000</p> <p>Linda and Leaders: God is smiling at His daughters in Pine Bluff’s DCC and His daughters who brought His Love and Light to their sisters. This ministry glorifies our Father and blesses so many lives. “Standing on holy ground” is an incredible experience that I have felt during Woman on a Mission Celebration Dinners. To hear women reveal how God has changed their lives is deeply moving and always fills me with awe and joy. Thanks to each of you for pouring your lives into this ministry. And, a big thanks to Dave for describing our daily challenge so simply.</p> </article> <article> <h1>Comment on Our Smiling God by stacy</h1> <p>stacy — Wed, 13 Oct 2010 01:42:14 +0000</p> <p>wow! sounds so exciting! Thanks for sharing how God continues to grow your ministry</p> </article> <article> <h1>Comment on A Beginning by Kathy</h1> <p>Kathy — Tue, 12 Oct 2010 20:59:06 +0000</p> <p>Amen! Prison ministry can be addictive. Seeing God at work can be addictive. And yes, I believe it can be very easy to slip into the “credit taking” role.</p> <p>A resent conversation I was having with a young woman went something like this:</p> <p>Her: No one can open my mind up to that can they? It had to be the Holy Spirit speaking to me!<br /> Me: I believe it was. And you’re right, only God can open up your mind and reveal spiritual truths, or anything of lasting value to you.</p> <p>I hate to admit it but, I’d love to take credit for that, even those who aren’t people pleasers sometimes want to bask in the approval of others. But truth is I don’t have a single clue about how to open up another persons mind to spiritual truth, all I can say is , “Jesus, did it!” (He is the TRUTH!) I am just so glad He let me hear about it. This is such a wonderful adventure we are on, I really have no clue what He is going to do next. All I know is that I am very grateful to be a part of it. In the end , I know I’m going to have the time of my life. In the end we will celebrate in a fabulous kingdom home He has prepared, with all His people and my LORD I love.</p> <p>Thank you for sharing “wise advise”. We all need to be reminded, God has the power, He is in control. And that’s a really good thing! Kathy</p> </article> <article> <h1>Comment on Ministry Potholes by Linda Slaton</h1> <p>Linda Slaton — Tue, 05 Oct 2010 00:16:34 +0000</p> <p>Believe me, as I wrote the blog to you leaders, I felt the sting of conviction over ‘getting my needs met in ministry” instead of in Christ. Stepping on my own toes. It’s just good to remember all this –isn’t it.<br /> Here’s something I wrote in my journal –a quote from Just Courage by Gary Haugen. Your comment about being way outside your comfort zone made me think of it:</p> <p> “Follow me beyond what you can control, beyond where your own strength and competencies can take you and beyond what is affirmed or risked by the crowd and you will experience me and my power and my wisdom and my joy… Jesus beckons me to follow Him to that place of weakness where I risk the vulnerability of a child so that I might know how strong my Father is and how much He loves me.” ~From a chapter entitled Come As a Child. Pretty cool.</p> </article> <article> <h1>Comment on Ministry Potholes by Jennifer</h1> <p>Jennifer — Mon, 04 Oct 2010 22:05:28 +0000</p> <p>I do know how very, very much I care for these ladies—especially the ones in my group, since I know them the best. All I want for them is to have a chance at the life God, by His grace, has given me. I wept like a child when Megan got kicked out of school—I knew she did wrong and had to pay the consequences, but I hated that it happened. I also truly feel every single Thursday night and all days in-between, that I am totally out of my comfort zone and completely inadequate to “lead” my group–whether at prison or at a big church in West Little Rock! I absolutely know that I could not take any credit whatsoever for any change at all in the hearts of my ladies. That is all God, all His glory.</p> <p>Getting my needs met thru ministry instead of thru Christ.….awe.…that gave me pause.…caused my heart to skip a beat or two.….caused me to seek Jesus and ask for His help in not going there.…for Him to remind me constantly that I am, as you said, a conduit of His love and wisdom, an Ambassador for Christ.</p> <p>Thanks for the good words, for this humbling reminder…</p> <p>All for His glory,<br /> Jennifer</p> </article> <article> <h1>Comment on Ministry Potholes by Linda</h1> <p>Linda — Sun, 03 Oct 2010 18:21:21 +0000</p> <p>Marcie, thanks for your prayers for WOM –and our prison ministry. Our celebration dinner is this Thursday –and the last night with our women. Our new class starts in January. I hope all is well in Memphis.</p> </article> </main></body></html>
