The end of Campmeeting each year is bittersweet. Oh, how I wish it didn't have to end! But it is nice to be home again after two weeks of very busy, very fun, and very rewarding days.

We had sooo much fun in the Primary Department! I wish I could share the fun with all of you - there is so much I will always treasure in m… Continue

Troubles

Ladies, I just want you to know that I am now aware of the issue many of you were having and the offending member has been removed. I am still out of town enjoying teaching the Primaries at our big Campmeeting. It has been a true blessing! I am sorry I have been away from the computer for nearly two weeks and that this happened while I was away. Satan knows when to wreak havoc for sure! I want to thank everyone who alerted me to the problems!

It's Campmeeting Time Again...

May is one of the busiest months of my entire year. In fact over the next two week all I will be focusing on is the preparation of my program for the Primaries at Campmeeting. On May 17th or 18th I will be heading over to Portland Tennessee for two weeks to set up and then teach our 21 classes to 90 - 120 children.

Last year was soooo much fun. Mykal and I had a blast. The program I wrote was called Out of Egypt and we… Continue

Prayer Retreat

Question: Would you be interested in an intensive prayer retreat weekend with me? I have been wanting to do retreats for a long time, but never felt the time was right. Now, I am considering the options and thought that a prayer retreat weekend with a small group - perhaps a limit of 10 - 20 women would be a good place to start.

Please leave a you comments/ thoughts on this below. Thanks for your help!

Profile Information

Tell us a little about yourself.

I am the Founding Director of A Virtuous Woman. I am also a proud pastor's wife, a homeschooling mom of five great kids, step-mom to four grown kids, and Grandarlin' to 11 (so far) grandkids.

I am a writer at heart and have published several titles including The Homemaker's Journal: Keeping House, If It Were Not So..., ADVENTures in Prophecy, and From Chaos to Calm: 15 Weeks to a Happy Home. I have several projects in the works as well including a new fiction novel!

I live with my family in the beautiful Appalachian Mountains of Harlan, Kentucky. My husband and I have three churches (Mykal is a district pastor) and they are located here in Southeastern Kentucky - Harlan, Middlesboro, and Belcher.

I am so thankful to be able to serve alongside my husband in ministry. I am excited to be able to teach Children's Sabbath Schools, lead our churches women's ministry and Bible studies.

We are also in the process of starting two new Pathfinder and Adventurer Clubs in two different churches for the children and I have enjoyed teaching Little Lambs and Eager Beavers in the past.

I will be speaking at an upcoming evangelistic series here in Harlan, Kentucky. Dates to be announced. I have two upcoming cooking schools one in Harlan and one in Middlesboro, Kentucky which I will be teaching as well. Dates to be announced.

God has so richly blessed my life. I am ever so thankful!

What is your favorite Bible Verse?

This is a hard one to answer - there are sooo many verses that I frequently remind myself of depending on the situation, but I the verse I quote almost on a daily basis to get me through the day is:

"I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me." Philippians 4:13

Another favorite is: Psaml 37:4 "Delight thyself in the Lord and He will give thee the desires of thine heart."

Another: “Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses. He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.” Psalm 107:28 - 30

And of course I adore Proverbs 31:10- 31!

What is your favorite book?

Hard Question! I'll have to think about it.

What is your favorite homemaking task? Why?

I love hanging laundry up on my line in the backyard. We have a beautiful yard and in the early summer the wild roses are blooming and the frangrance is amazing! But just the very act of hanging up the laundry is wonderfully domestic. It makes me feel like a homemaker.

I also love cooking but not washing dishes - ugh! I love to eat and come up with new recipes. So fun!

Share your testimony with us.

You can read a condensed version of my testimony online at e-GraceNotes.com:
More Than a Mistake

Do you have any prayer requests?

#1 I would ask that you especially pray for my husband, Pastor Mykal Ringstaff, who has very little time of his own and it seems someone is always needing his attention.

#2 Please pray for this ministry, A Virtuous Woman! I appreciate each and every prayer that is lifted up to our Heavenly Father on my behalf - what greater gift is there?

I'm so glad this is starting up again! I joined the Virtuous Woman website right around the time you did this last year and I did join that group, but didn't follow through. I hope to do more than just join the group this time around LOL!

I have tried and tried unsuccessfully to stay with a routine, but shortly down the line somewhere I get tired of it...might just be lack of self discipline on my part. I love how you said you were looking forward to the week of mundane routines......
