This year I’m joining a host of other bloggers who are doing all kinds of fabulous “31 Days” series during the month of October. It really wasn’t that hard to settle on a topic for the series because….I’ve been reading the search terms that bring people to my blog.
Women in ministry don’t have all the answers, ya’ll. And can I just say, as I begin this series, that I don’t have it all together either?
In the safety of our homes, we type things into the search bar that we would never voice aloud. I’m going to be addressing some of these very important topics during this month. This series is geared towards pastors’ wives, missionary wives, single women in ministry, and women who are ministry leaders in general. Some of the topics will be serious, and some will be humorous. Each day’s post will contain a key word, a catch phrase and a few paragraphs that will hopefully encourage you in your ministry.
But most importantly, ALL of the posts will be straight from my heart as I share things that God has taught me in our years of ministry. I’ll be sharing some personal stories/experiences and some tidbits that I have learned along the way in our past 8 years of ministry. If you know someone who would benefit from this type of content, would you please share this series with them? I’d be so grateful. I passionately believe that our ministry women need to be strengthened and encouraged- they need to be ministered to, and often!
And so, without any further ado, here is the graphic that you’ll be seeing a lot, starting tomorrow. Feel free to pin and share as much as you like. This post will be the landing page for all of the 31 day posts so you can go back later and find them all in one place. I am praying that you will be blessed through this series. And as always, I’d love to hear your thoughts and chat with you at the end of each post in the comment section. Also consider joining me on Facebook, where I share daily encouragement for women.
Let’s join hearts and embrace life in our fishbowls!

Looking forward to reading your blogs. I have been an evangelist wife for 22 yrs, now a pastor wife for a year and half. It is very rewarding to be in God’s will and helping others, but a times it is hard. Thank you for your encouragement.
Yes, ministry is stretching, isn’t it?! Sounds like God has used you in several different roles. Thank you for your heart for God and for taking the time to encourage me!
I love your blog! Thank you so much for putting your time and effort into these post. Our 7 months in the Pastorate has been wonderful! My husband is a wonderful Pastor and I’m learning to love the state of Maine 🙂
Paula, my dad is a pastor in Nova Scotia Canada, but we are from Maine! Where are you located at? There is a lot to love about that beautiful state! 🙂
Paula, can’t believe it’s been almost a year for your new ministry! I’m so glad you are happy there and that you are seeing God work. 🙂 Thanks for sticking around here- you’ve been a blessing to me!
I’m so glad you included single women in ministry. So often we are left out! Thank you! =)
Nicole, I was happy to expand it at the request of some other singles. 🙂 I hope it’s a blessing to you!
They are quite easy to comprehend but very important in helping you decide
on a long lasting driveway. For such deicing needs, Zmesh nine-inch screens in
lengths of 50, 100 and 250 feet do the job well.
Another popular method of removing oil stains is to use a grease cutting
dish detergent such as Dawn.
I am a pastor’s wife in the ministry for 3 year and am having my fist women conference what can I do?
Hmm, I have never actually hosted a women’s conference. I know that there are several groups on facebook for women’s ministry- I’m sure they would have some great ideas! One thing, though- don’t try to do it alone. 🙂 Enlist some help so the details will fall into place and you won’t be exhausted before it even starts. 🙂
I just stumbled onto your blog though a Facebook link. What a blessing! Thank you.
