You are so right about the revolution that...Martha,<br />You are so right about the revolution that would take place. It's funny how God lays a specific vision on the heart of a lead pastor, yet some people still feel the need to try and steer him away from his God-given vision. Thanks so much for adding to the conversion. I am always encouraged by other pastor's wives who have an inside understanding of 'the life'. You are a blessing!<br />blessings to you!

We, Pastor's wives need friends like you. <br />It is indeed heartbreaking to see women turn and walk away…but such a blessing to see those who truly get it and walk with the Lord!

I have so much respect, love and admiration for women who give their lives to minister to the hearts of other women. It is very heartbreaking to see woman turn and walk another way.
