Check point...

Wondering what this is about? I didn't say I would but I felt led to check on us.

It's been 3 months* since I wrote about me-time. So how many moments of "me-time" have you had since then? I know that I cannot prescribe how often you should have me-time but I know that once a year doesn't cut it. You'll not only be burnt out - God forbid that you be buried without it being more frequent.

Wear matching shoes...

...at all times.

Did I just see a smile come on your face?

Before you run to your closet and start listing the colours of shoes you do not already have, I suggest you hear (or more like "read") me out.

The reason why we need to wear matching shoes at all times arose when I saw this very interesting version of a verse that has been quoted over and over again. I went on to seek out various Bible versions so you can see what I mean for yourself.

So last week when we started on this, we said that:

 M = Mentor; O = Oracle of God & T = Teacher.

Let's move on to "H.E.R."

M.O.T.H.E.R.

It's that time of year when we celebrate Mothers...and time to celebrate you.

This year is really unique because International Women's Day (March 8th) is just 2 days before the first Mothers' Day of the year (March 10th). As we know, only women can become mothers...so it's a double celebration. Celebrate yourself too.

Just as I typed the first sentence, this thought dropped in my spirit: "No one on earth would have gotten here without a mother - whether or not you know her."

I know that I've said that the fact that you are Mrs. Pastor doesn't make you everyone's mother.* However, that fact does not mean that you cannot be a M.O.T.H.E.R. to those around you. I believe every Mrs. Pastor can & should be a:
