Journal Time

As October ticks away, we draw closer to the holiday season. Is it a busy time in your ministry? What suggestions can you offer to encourage your fellow ministers’ wives to keep the season as simple as possible? What are ways you draw together as a family?

Journal Time

Fall is here! What a beautiful time of year! How do the changing seasons reflect your spiritual growth? Feel free to share your thoughts, start a discussion, and then come back to interact with anyone else who drops by!

Journal Time

We’re back around to that time again, our bi-weekly Journal Time. What has God been showing you over the last two weeks as you’ve spent time with Him? Can you share something that might encourage the rest of us? Is there something that discussion might help? Share away, and let’s start a conversation!

Journal Time

It’s that time again! What have you learned this week in your time with the Lord? What can you share with the rest of us? Can’t wait to hear from you and get to know you better through this share time!

Journal Time

Happy Friday, ladies! It’s time to share again. What has God been teaching you over the past couple of weeks? Please share in the comments so we can learn from one another!

Link Friday & Journal Time

We don’t always have links to share for Link Friday, so beginning this month, the odd-numbered Fridays will now be primarily devoted to Journal Time. When we have links as well, we will combine the two!

Link Friday

I do have a link to share with you that can tie right into a Journal Time discussion. Author and homeschool mom Tricia Goyer shares these thoughts about raising homeschool children with a heart for missions. (Click on the image below for the article.)

But, I don’t think this should be limited to homeschool children. What about the children of ministers? How can we actively foster mission-minded children? Obviously, Tricia’s suggestions are applicable to just about any Christian family, but are there other suggestions more specific to the children of ministers?

Which leads to…

Journal Time

Did you read Kelly’s post yesterday? If not, read that first!

Since we have a spot for the initial journal discussion in that comment stream, let’s focus our first Journal Time discussion on the idea of teaching missions. What has God taught you about being missions-minded over the years? Do you have journal entries that show God at work in your heart? Have you seen Him at work in the hearts of your children or in the hearts of those to whom you minister? Please share what God’s been doing in your life! May we learn and grow from this peek into each other’s journals.
