Is “having it all” even possible?

Posted inBusiness Mommy Mondays,Inspiration,P31 Conference

dreams pk 08 h264 hd 2mb from usedwithpermissionfrommovieministrydotcom on Vimeo. Yesterday I came to you with my breaking point. My lowest of lows. Nearly two years ago I almost quit. I almost gave up at all… because I simply didn’t think I could do it all. When something was succeeding, something else was failing… and…

    Yes! LOVE this, Karen! Even as a single lady, I’ve felt that “you should be home” mentality, back when I was called to go to Brazil on my first missions trip at 18. My younger sister was having metal rods put in her back to fix her scoliosis while I was gone and it was one of those things where I felt like I should’ve been there because they needed me. God showed me that they didn’t need *me* there, they just needed HIM there. And that I was needed in Brazil, even though I was terrified of flying (had never flown anywhere, let alone so far from home) and still pretty shy. Anyway, love your insight on Proverbs 31… I don’t think I ever really looked at it as ‘she’s a business woman who is balanced’ before. Love that! :)

Will anyone remember me?

Posted inBusiness Mommy Mondays,Events,Karen,P31 Conference,P31 Writers

Pin It   I had an impulse tonight. An impulse to look back and read about where I was. Hopeless. Discouraged. Ready to quit and begging my husband to let me. Fall. 2010. Our children were 3 & 5 and we had just finished shooting 17 weddings in 12 weeks. We missed their childhood that…

    Whoaaaaaah. Our sermon yesterday was on how we need more David’s and need to be more like him, and then you write THIS. Its like God is really trying to get my attention this week. Thank you so so so much for opening your heart like this Karen and being so willing time and time again to be used for good. You are touching so many lives through this incredible organization.

God filled adventures | Written by Shannon Kelley

Posted inBeyond Us

I’m sitting here underneath our mosquito net.  It has just rained outside and while we were hoping for some sweet relief from the heat all we have been graced with is a little more humidity.  And the truth is that I’m stuck on what to write.  I wanted to write about faith, about following God,…
