Fall is my favorite time of year. I have always loved the cooler weather and the changing of colors. And there are so many fun activities to do with your girls. I thought I would share a few fall ideas for girls gathering with you.
When I first started in ministry, I knew that partnering with parents was vital but it felt daunting to me because I was not a parent of a teenager. I wasn’t always sure how to help parents in my ministry. But I had a great resource in…
When planning, I love the details. But for some of you, the details are just a necessary part of the job, and it can be stressful at times to make sure everything is covered. I want to help make the details easier for you as you begin planning your events.
I always love Christmas time with my students! I thought I would share a few fun student ministry/small group activities that you can do with your students this year.
In an instant, God made it clear how I was to share the Gospel – through social media. The more I thought about this, the more it made sense and sounded crazy, all at the same time!
Any relationship you have with someone flourishes when you are intentional about investing in it. But in ministry, it’s not just one girl you are investing in, it’s many. Investing intentionally on a larger scale can feel overwhelming if you don’t know where to start or you’re trying to find new ways to do it.
Back to School Sunday is coming. This is always one of my favorite Sundays as students move up to their new grades. There is an energy in the room that isn’t like any other. It’s a great beginning to a new school year.
Seasons are a part of life. Some are exciting and adventurous. Others are steady and easygoing. Then there are those that are stormy and can knock you down if you let down your guard. In all of these seasons…
Summer is here! One of the things I love about summer is the extra time I get with my girls. It’s always the best time to do more with the girls I am mentoring.
No school. Sleeping in. Vacation. Camp. Mission Trip. Atlanta Overnighter. Lunch Bunch. High School Boot Camp. VBS. Wednesday Night Activities. Hangouts with friends. This was summer during my teenage years. I loved it! There was always so much to do and lots of fun to be had. But in my 8th-grade summer something else became much more important to me than all these fun activities.
A couple of years ago I released a Bible study based on the book of Ruth that takes a deep dive into being a virtuous woman. As I was recently studying about being virtuous again for some speaking engagements, I was reminded that a virtuous woman is a difference maker…
Serving in girls’ ministry, I have spent hours planning girls’ events. I love every step of planning fun and impactful events for girls. The details are my thing. But before I can even get to the details there are two things that I must consider – the purpose and big elements.
In the celebration of Christmas, we often associate the Magi with being at the manger. But according to scripture, they did not arrive till much later…but they did start a journey.
On one of my coaching calls this year a young lady asked me to help brainstorm ideas and gifts for leader appreciation. It got me thinking about the different things I’ve done through the years.
Have you ever wondered if there is a purpose for the journey God is taking you on in life? I mean with social media today, everyone else’s journey in life can look so much more important than our own. The truth is that no one’s journey is more significant than anyone else’s. Each of us plays an important part in God’s story.
