There are times in life when you just have to (or get to) sit back and evaluate what you are doing.
Moving cross country creates a natural opportunity for that.
You disconnect from almost everything that filled your schedule outside of homemaking.
It was hard to leave a Sunday School ministry,
a piano ministry,
choir,
a printing ministry,
and regular interaction with college students and young couples.
On top of that ... add a pandemic that halts everything.
Early in the fall,
I was really feeling disconnected and lacking ministry.
Through blogs and podcasts that I read and listen to for encouragement and challenge,
I thought that I needed to find some younger women to encourage.
I needed to be a part of the older encouraging the younger.
That demographic is a little sparse around me right now,
so I began writing letters - yes, good old fashioned snail mail.
Some college students, some young mothers, and some women just waiting on God's plan.
And then the pandemic began and there were church shut-ins to add to the list.
It has been a fun ministry for me.
Who doesn't like to get mail once in a while?
And hopefully, it will encourage a young woman in right paths.
