Rested And Getting Ready: Preparing for a New Season of Ministry

People often ask me if I get tired of traveling. The answer is, “Yes, but God is so kind to give energy to serve, and joy at the time of serving.” It’s true. Being away from home a lot isn’t my favorite thing, but God uses it to remind me that this is not my true home. However, in His grace, He gives us time to come back to our home to rest in preparation for what is to come. How kind.

We are currently in that period of time during the month of August. Now that camp is over, we are “home” for the most part. We’re trying to be wise in our use of this month. We are seeking physical rest, time to study/prepare, creative outlets, time together as a couple, and time with family. It’s been a wonderful two weeks! Come take a peek…

Two Exciting Announcements!

Happy August! Our summer is flying by, and has been full of good things! Today is a continuation of those blessings!

There are two exciting things happening today!

  1. We are officially launching our new DandD Ministries website! You can find it here. It has all the information about the ministry the Lord led us to begin nearly two years ago. It was birthed out of a burden to encourage ministry couples. God has done amazing things that we never dreamed of, but it has been so wonderful to follow His leading.
    This brings me to the next exciting thing that is happening today!
  2. We are opening registration for our inaugural Refuge and Refreshment Retreat that will take place in January of 2026.

It had been an exhausting week, physically and emotionally. By the time Sunday morning arrived, my body showed its fatigue by totally ignoring the alarm humming on the table beside the bed. I never even heard it. What woke me was my husband’s hand shaking my side. He was standing beside the bed, calling my name. Good thing one of us had heard their alarm, or we would have been late for church, but we made it!

Four Tips for Growth

This post is part of the continuing series as we review A Woman After God’s Own Heart, by Elizabeth George.

I heard about a woman who was having a dinner party and fixed an elaborate meal.  Everything was cooking, chilling and baked, ready for her guests that would arrive a couple hours later, but she found herself hungry.  She sat down and ate a couple of large candy bars “just to tide herself over.” When it came time to serve her guests, she had no appetite for the lavish meal! 

We are guilty of doing the same thing when we foolishly binge on things that have no value to our spiritual life.   Let’s glean some great practical advice that Elizabeth George was given by a friend that will help us to grow spiritually because we’re feasting on God’s Wisdom.

Headed to The Wilds!

I’m excited to have the blessing of speaking at The Wilds ladies’ retreat this weekend. There are 19 or 20 of our church ladies attending and I’m so excited to share this weekend with these precious sisters in. Christ.

Springtime at The Wilds!

The van is packed and we’re headed to do some shopping and enjoy lunch out before getting to camp. This will be full, fun day!

I pray your weekend is full of seeing God at work! I’ll be anxious to share all the details of the weekend very soon!

I pray you’re making plans to be in a Bible preaching church on Sunday!
