Respond

Welcome to Re!

As you can see this is a brand new blog and I'm just now getting it up and running. I am creating this primarily for ministry wives and women in ministry. The life of a minister and his family is full of blessing and experiences like none other. However there are also challenges and heartaches like none other. This blog is to be a respite for women in this position.

At least once a week, there will be a new post. Whether it be on the topic of recreation, renewal or reconciliation; it will always be about ministry life and will (obviously) begin in the letters "re". I am no expert on these topics, so I will be leaning heavily on the Bible, other books and all of the ladies that will hopefully be following this blog.

Another big thing I'm working on is a retreat. This is in the very beginning stages, so I don't have a lot to share about it yet. I do know that it will be here in central IL and will be some time within the next year.

Now, your turn... I would love for you to RESPOND. Tell me a little about yourself. How did you come to be a minister's wife or woman in ministry? What types of frustrations and joys do you experience in ministry? What would you like to see on this blog and in the upcoming retreat?
