A New Year

Boy I lost this account and finally found it again.

Let's get started.

It's been a full year of 2008. We're now in 2009.

What's been going on in my life?

Well, my daughter got married March 8th 2008. My son leaves next week for Iraq (March 13th). My duaghter and her husband will be coming home in a few weeks from Okinawa.

My husband and I run a childrne's ministry on Wednesday Nights that is now up to 80+ kids.

You can see I've been busy. Writing? No. I am getting my ministerial license.

Let me tell you that was a hard decision. Even when you feel prompted by God...I have a problem with female pastors, you see...especially me...but under my husbands mantle, with his appoval and submitting to him in all things, I think I can do this:)

It's taken a long road for me to accept the title and I will never be called pastor, I guarantee you. But as a kid's pastor, that's the role I fulfill so it finally is acceptable that I get a license.

I knew a wondeful woman pastor named Mille, who touched my heart, even though I was so against women pastors back then...but she wasn't a 'pastor' to me as much as a wonderful teacher, leader, compassionette woman. Go figure. I was baptist at the time. I am independent, though I attend an A/G church now! LOL!
