I’m getting ready to hop on a plane to St Charles, Louisiana where I’ll be speaking at the Trinity Baptist Church women’s conference tonight and tomorrow, and I’d love to meet you there if you can join us!
I’m so excited to be headed south to my original home state. Did you know I’m a Louisiana born girl? I’m hoping I’ll get to eat red beans and rice while I’m there. Speaking of red beans and rice, last week’s winner of my Friday Give-away which includes a copy of LeAnn Rice’s “Sharing Grace” recipe e-book 
is Anonymous who posted at 8:19pm who told us about her spaghetti sauce that killed a fly when he landed in it. I don’t have your email so email it to me by 5pm on Monday 11/15 at [email protected] or I’ll need to pick another winner. And then you’ll be so sad. However the rest of you don’t have to be sad because you can order one or enter to win one next week since it’s part of my next give-away, too!
Until then, I’d love it if you’d tell me a little about you!
What state (or country) do you live in, what season of life are you in (that’s a polite way of asking how old you are), are you single, married, have kids, a dog or cat, etc. and what keeps you busy most weeks- work, family, church, etc?
Also, be sure to come back next week to find out what happened when this wanna-be decided she was gonna be!

Very informative. Thank you.
I know that I'm doing something that WWJD;(What Wouldn't Jesus Do"; it's the soap opera the "young and restless". As one of the actors says, "people love story telling". After writing this, it seems that the Holy Spirit is telling me to read the Story Telling of the Bible! I find that the woman's devotions most helpful for mediating on.
Funny, but I've been struggling with wanting to hear God speak, longing for it more often than only when I have a big decision to make. Been enjoying the devotional, Jesus Calling by Sarah Young. I'm fairly new to P31 website, but love it! Thank you for committing to helping other women grow with God. For me, I've been married for 22 years, have 3 kids, a daughter who's a Freshman in high school, another daughter who's in 8th grade and a son in 6th. We also have a male dog, so it evens out the genders. Oh, and we live in Minnesota and my husband is trying really hard to get our back deck finished before winter REALLY sets in! I also love being a stay-at-home mom! Sandy
I would love to read this book. It seems like I am struggling in listening to God in the small things like Matt 25 refers to.
I live in gorgeous south west Virgina! I am a farm girl wanna be! A mom of 2 …a soon to be 8 year old little boy and a 4 year old little girl and trying to decide if we should have the 3rd one! I just turned 35 this past Saturday…where have the years gone? I'm a hair stylist 3 days a week (a good one at that)! I am a cooker and a singer and I LOVE to read! And Proverbs 31 ministries has been a blessing to me!! So very thankful that I found this website!!

I live in Ohio. Just turned 35 on Sunday. I married my wonderful husband 9yrs ago in Hawaii. We have 4 wonderful children, well most of the time, and 1 dog. Taking care of the children is a full-time job as our oldest is 7, twin 5yr olds and an 8 month old. We thought we were done, God had other plans. I am also the WM coordinator at our church and can't wait for you to come and speak in April.
I'm a 48 year old woman, have been happily married for 29 years, two sons ages 22 and 17. We had a beautiful life, until our oldest son at age 18 became a prodigal. Mom, Dad, and younger brother were devistated and fell into depression but God would not leave us there. He has healed all three of us. Part of my healing came out at a pond in the woods behind my house and out of that experience I wrote several books. You can see more on my blog ponderingsbykris.blogspot.com. I am so thankful for a God who does not leave us in our pits, showers love and compassion, and is always teaching me lessons. I now run a blanket ministry for the homeless in our community and God is blessing this left and right!
Hi Renee! This is the first time I've ever been on this website and I love it. My name is Lynette Theisen, and I'm from Krugerville, Texas. If you blink, you'll be in the small town next to us called Aubrey! I was born & raised a Texas gal and proud of it!
I'm going to be forty next year. OUCH! But hey, I heard the 40's are the new 20's so I'm looking forward to being young again!
I have 4 kids who remind me all of the time just how old I am.
I am an aspiring writer and speaker too; which is why I came across this GREAT website. I would LOVE to come to the 2011 conference. I better start saving now as I am a full time mom and feel very blessed to be one. I did publish a Christian fiction novel this past April and guess what the main character's name is? Yup…RENEE!!! I chose it because it means "reborn."
Okay, so I've probably written way more than I should have, so for now, I'll say "Chow" and I hope to see you one day at a speaking engagement if you're in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area.
God bless you for being obedient to His calling. You are making a difference.

I am a North Carolina native. But have also lived in South Carolina, Virginia, Michigan and Texas. I've been back in eastern NC for nearly 6 years. I have 4 children, 3 grandchildren, 2 cats that think they are human and love the Lord. I am so thankful that Jesus changed me, but He never changes.

Hi Renee,
I am a wife, a mom & a child of God. I have been married to my husband for 12 1/2 years. We have a son(6) and a daughter(4). I live in South Carolina and am thoroughly enjoying our beautiful fall weather.
I have recently begun "clearing my plate" in order to follow God in His leading. I have been called into Women's Ministry and am very excited to see where God leads me!
I attended She Speaks this past summer and am still discovering the blessings of all that I learned. Thank you for your ministry.
Have a blessed weekend,
Mary
Say Hi to my friend Jill Rigby Garner Mrs. Manners of the Heart! I live Maryland and was with Jill this time last year doing some training for MOH. I have 4 children in a private Christian school so I run a lot. I am an "older" mama I adopted 2 children later in life, lost my husband to cancer and then re-married a man with two children. So I stay busy and tired. Have a wonderfully blessed time I loved Louisiana. karen g.
Valtakunnallisen pyörämatkailuverkoston pääsuunnittelijana (1993-1996) toteaisin, että vastuu reitistön päivityksestä kuuluu nykyisin ymmärtääkseni juuri Liikennevirastolle tai ely-keskuksille. Ensimmäinen vastaava pyörätieratkaisu on aikoinaan toteutettu Kokemäen Risteessä, ja se kuuluukin valtakunnalliseen pyörämatkailureittiin n:o 2.
