Living on Purpose
The name of the day planner that I have developed for busy women involved in ministry is called “Living on Purpose Day Planner & Organizer.” We have not yet come up with a cover design that we are excited about. Any graphic art people out there with an idea? I was thinking of just putting “Living on […]
Abusive Churches
Here is an article that was suggested to me in regard to a previous post (5 Steps To The Healing Process) on “Abusive Churches” which is long but worth the time it will take you to read. Whether you are currently in a church like this, just resigned from one or counseling people with this experience you […]
It Couldn’t Happen To Me!
The most dangerous misperception a Christian can have is “it couldn’t happen to me.” This blog could be filled with a year of posts of people I found myself counseling over the past several years who found themselves totally out of fellowship with the Lord. Maybe still active in church or even serving as a Christian […]
Where Am I?
Lately I have been getting emails asking where I am, what I am doing and why the “Schedule & Events” at my website is empty. Though I did address this in May I will respond again per your request. My children are 10 and 12. When they are out of school I spend more time with […]
Are You Whole?
My heart sank as I listened to Jane (name changed) at Denny’s that morning. She was a married Christian woman who claimed to love God yet she was having an affair with a married Christian man. What started out as a “Christian friendship” was now a full blown affair. She wanted advice but admitted she wanted […]
What Do You Think About?
A Christian woman called for advice. She was warm, intelligent and actively involved in her church. She was married with children. She was having an adulterous affair with another Christian man. How does this happen? I can’t go into a 4 hour counseling session on this post but the bottom line is before the affair […]
A Few Good Resources
My last post was on steps to encourage healing. Today I want to share a few good resources that can help in the healing process. 1. “The Emotionally Healthy Church” by Peter Scazzero 2. “Boundaries” by Dr. Townsend 3. “Overcoming The Dark Side of Leadership” by Gary McIntosh 4. “Abusive Churches” is an article by […]
5 Steps to Help the Healing Process
Have you ever been deeply hurt by another Christian? Unless you live alone on the island of Figi you probably have. Sometimes pain caused by another is intentional but most of the time it is not. We are all sinners and make mistakes and most don’t desire to cause pain to others. Today I want to talk about the […]
Just Awhile Longer
Yesterday morning after having a nightmare my child came into our room. Todd usually gets up around 5 to spend time with the Lord so I was alone, I invited my son to climb up into our bed to talk. He shared details of the bad dream and I comforted. As I was about to get up he said ‘just […]
5 Thoughts on Responding to Criticism
Have you ever been angrily criticised by another? I have and if you are involved in ministry you probably have also. During the past week I have had a couple of friends share their recent experience with me. Today I want to share a few words of wisdom from John Maxwell on responding to criticism. […]
