Making Ends Meet

This year "making ends meet" (or better) seems to be the hot topic. Between high gas prices and rising food costs, it can be a struggle to maintain our lifestyles. For Christian women, who often stay home to raise/school their children, the struggle to maintain the household budget on a single income that is being eaten away by higher costs can be a huge burden.

If you are looking to pick up some extra cash from home, please visit the work from home section for ideas. A simple way to make a few extra dollars is to complete online paid surveys. You won't make alot of money, but every little bit helps. Lastly, you can effectively earn more by spending less. Check out the articles on frugality for ideas for spending less on household goods, bills, etc.

Women of Passions

Women of Passions: Ordinary Women Serving an Extraordinary God by Janet (Jan) Ross and Jeanice McDade is a unique collection of true stories and inspirational prose by twenty-six individual authors from various backgrounds and walks of life. Each story is followed by a devotional written by Jan in the same fashion as the devotional she publishes and emails to thousands each week day (click here).

“Reading Women of Passions is like sitting down with your best friend, sharing your heart, your experiences, heartaches, and triumphs,” says one reader. She goes on to say, “Life is a journey, and this book is a great friend to take along on the trip.”

The authors offer a fresh perspective on Passion for God, Passion for Family, and Passion for Ministry. An additional section is included to encourage those who are suffering with chronic illness. Used as a devotional, shared in a small group setting, or picked up when there are only a few free minutes during a busy day, the reader is invited to press beyond her comfort zone to experience the unexplainably passionate love shared between a woman and her God. All royalties from book sales are being used to help support the international outreaches of Heart of God International Ministries. You are invited to learn more about the work of this fast-growing network of ministries on the official Heart of God International Ministries website.

What Does The Bible Say About Christian Working Moms?

Kimberly M. Chastain

I have received many heartfelt emails from women asking me, “Where in the Bible does it say, a woman cannot work outside the home?” Another comment, where are scriptural articles that do not condemn? I often quickly reply the Bible does not say a woman cannot work outside the home. Many of the women in the Bible were leaders among women and men. Deborah was basically a military commander.

Let’s look at the Proverbs 31 woman. This woman is often held up as the prime example of a Godly woman...
