Inspire Us Tuesdays - Your Women's Ministry

It's Tuesday again! (Already!! Did it seem like the last seven days have come and gone in hurry, or is it just me?)
 
That means we will have the next installment on our "Inspire Us Tuesdays" series: Women's Ministry: Tell us about your women's ministry team at your church. Do you have one?
 
I have to be honest. I haven't really had a whole lot of time for involvement in our women's ministry at church since we joined last spring. This year, I was able to attend the women's retreat and I have been able to be a part of our women's Bible study over the last few weeks, so it's been really nice being around women at my church without the kids around.
 
I think women's ministry is hard to participate in at any church, especially when there are lots of women with littler kids. It's just hard to find the time and energy to be a part of every thing, you know? I would absolutely love to be a part of a conference, where I was able to go away for a couple of nights with the women at my church and stay in a nice hotel. It would be wonderful for me. Maybe one of these years, when I have money and time, that will happen!
 
I would love to hear about other women's ministries at other churches. I haven't ever been a part of one before, so I have no point of reference. But I think our church does a good job of accomodating schedules and not throwing too much at us constantly to be a part of, but enough stuff to be a part of, you know?
 
How's the women's ministry at your church? What types of activities do you do there?

We go to a pretty big church so our women's ministry is pretty big and has many activities throughout the year. The one I have participated in is a Moms Bible Study. It runs for 8 weeks in the fall and 8 weeks in the Spring and includes lots of great topics and speakers that pertain to being a mom and wife. We meet once a week and childcare is provided for a small fee (like $20 for the 8 weeks per child). The girls have a lot of fun going and I enjoy the time away from them relating to other moms. I think that they have something similar in the evening for working moms but we get our groove on in the morning. I was really blessed this last semester even though we missed almost 1/2 due to sick kiddos. :(

Deciding to be a part of women's ministry has been one of the best things for me. I've met women and developed relationships I might not have otherwise. It's also nice to know that most things I struggle with as a mom especially with young children are things other moms struggle with too. And that moms who have raised their kids struggled with the same things as well. I look at their kids and think if I hold my kids to the standards in God's Word and love them and pray for them they might turn out okay too.

Why I am Pro Universal Healthcare and Changes to Our Healthcare System

Due to my recent proactivity with my credit and paying off debt, I decided to give the hospital a call where I was admitted about a month ago and ask about my bill. I wanted to make sure I didn't miss it in the mail and I wanted to get an idea of what I'd be paying for my stay. I get on the phone with the billing department and the woman is just as nice as can be, really. She was surprised I'd even called her, considering I didn't even have a bill yet. She told me she'd sent the bill over to my insurance to be approved and paid but they hadn't heard back yet. "Just out of curiosity," I asked, knowing I would be responsible for 20% of the final bill, "how much was it?" What I heard next shocked me.   "$61,000" she said.   I said, "$61,000? I was only in the hospital for a night and only on anti-biotics, you can't be serious! My daughter cost me less than a third of that to give birth to and I was in the hospital two nights!...

Some Changes...

We've been going through a bit of a transition at the Whitehead household the last month or so. I haven't really talked too much about it because I wasn't ready, to be honest. It's just a lot of change and I've been trying to figure it out in my head.   As of three weeks ago last Friday, I am no longer a full time work out of home employee.   I can't believe I just said that.   It's been the plan for several months now for me to go into real estate and it was always assumed I'd be doing that part time, while keeping my full time job. Plans kind of changed when Jason got his promotion. He'd always has a job that allowed him a lot of flexibility. In sales, especially after you've been in a position for a while, it just sort of happens that way. He could take Avery to daycare and pick her up, he could take her to doctor's appointments, he could even do chores around the house in the afternoon, while I was at work. I had some flexibi...

That "Thing" in That Basket Isn't a Baby, You Know That, Right?

I have had the most horrible case of writer's block lately! With that said, I saw this article on Babycenter and I just had to write something about it.   So, we've heard of the trend of eating the placenta after birth . We've heard of the trend of putting them in pill form to get the nutrients . But this? This to me, is just the craziest of them all.   As a group of beings on this planet, I've never seen any other mammal who evolves to get to a certain place, then de-evolves on purpose, to be more "natural." I am sure I am seriously about to put my foot in my mouth, I am sure there are (some) people out there that I might offend with my "closed-mindedness" on this topic. But this is just, well, ridiculous to me.   Basically, after the placenta comes out, instead of cutting the cord and detaching it from the baby, you leave the placenta on, they salt it to help with the decomp process, add rosemary (I am guessing for the smell?), then p...
