In the pattern of AA introduction, I hereby declare that this is how everyone should introduce themselves at The Christian Women (TCW). See, I even have the acronym already. :)

Joking aside, I’m one of the new contributors and perhaps the last one to introduce myself. I didn’t want to introduce myself and then not post anything for a long time. So I decided to just introduce myself when I am ready to post something. So here I am…

Let’s see, what can I say about myself?



Since we have started a team format at this blog and since my original introduction left much to be desired, I thought I would make my own introduction post.

I launched the The Christian Woman website in 2005 after leaving my job to be a stay at home mom. I had been working full-time after having my first child but after awhile felt the draw to stay home. Before leaving my job I began to research work at home opportunities and became very interested in the network of Christian women who made extra money online. The website was my way of compiling the information I had gathered to share with others as well as a ministry to Christian women.


Good morning! I am so excited to be here sharing my thoughts with all of you. God has placed a special desire on my heart to share what He teaches me and the best way to do that, you ask? BLOG! My name is Becki Hansen. I am a mother, a friend, a photographer and most importantly I know that my Redeemer lives. I’ve been through many hardships in my life and until 2 years ago when I finally answered the knock on the door to my heart and let Jesus in, I didn’t believe that God really existed or even knew who I was. Now I know the TRUTH and wake up each morning thanking God for another day and another chance. I’m looking so forward to sharing with you the things that God teaches me each day…I’m not always a good student at the time so sometimes He has to repeat himself. Come on…I know some of you can relate to that! :)

So….my thought for today is THANKFUL. I want to thank God for all that He has done, is doing and will do for me, through me and to me. I pray that each of you give thanks to God today…just for being Him.


For those of you not hip to the cool language of text messaging…JC is my BFF stands for JESUS CHRIST IS MY BEST FRIEND FOREVER! Yeah…I’m a cool mom. :)


Hi and welcome,

I’m so glad you came by. I look forward to getting to you know and sharing things in my life with you. For starters, I’m a 41 year old married mother of two wonderful children and a dog that I affectionately refer to as “caffeine on legs”. He’s a Jack Russell Terrier named Rudy. My husband and I have been married for nearly 21 years. We are members of a local Baptist church where we are both active. We teach Sunday School together, I am involved in the women’s ministry and I host a small group.


While I can get excited about the least little things, this is NOT one of them! Being here, sharing my thoughts and offering encouragement is by far not a “least little thing!”

Carrie asked that I post “an introduction of sorts.” I’ve thought about that for a little while now and find that there are many sorts of sorts. Wondering how to introduce “sorts,” I’ve attempted to sort it all out. There are short sorts, long sorts, tall sorts, and even medium sorts. Right away I am getting a little confused about what kind of sorts I should introduce to you. But, I’ll “sort” of give it a try (the pun is intentional)!


I established this blog as an extension of The Christian Woman website because I wanted something a bit more interactive. The website covers a wide variety of topics of interest to Christian women, but I wanted this blog to be a bit more narrow in scope. I also wanted this blog to encompass my current interests – a sort of “where I am at right now” – but in a way that could benefit others.

Starting Up

By Carrie | Comments Off


This is the start up of a companion blog with The Christian Woman website. The topics will be similiar to the content found there (frugality, family, household, etc.).

My hope is that this blog will be a place where the women visiting the website can share their ideas through the comments section since there is no forum with the site.

While I am working out the template I will be posting some older writings of mine. Please stop by again.
