Dear Nancy, |
|
|
These monthly "HeartLines" are from my heart to your heart as we share a very unique and wonderful life, being a ministry wife. My prayer is that these letters will inspire, inform, or encourage you in some way. PLEASE take this to your wife if you, the minister, are receiving this newsletter! |

Our "Hold Fast" weekend is just a few weeks away!! We already have way over half of our rooms at the Marriott filled, and we are registering more ministry wives everyday!
As ministry wives, we need the support and fellowship of women who experience similar circumstances, struggles, and situations that we do. So our "Hold Fast" weekend is planned to accomplish that purpose!
So please call us (770-455-4872 or 888-646- 9433) or go to our website HeartandSoulConnection.com for more information or to register.
We still have plenty of room for YOU! | |

Anita’s insuppressible joy that lightens the hearts and feeds the souls of her audience has blessed many, and as a result she will be appearing at every Women of Faith event this year! Her book entitled, If It's Not One Thing, It's Your Mother! has been very well-received. Her most recent book, If You Can't Lose It, Decorate It! will be making its debut at this concert, as will her newest DVD, Total Momsense.
This concert is for ladies and gents! All proceeds from the concert will go to the ministry of Heart and Soul Connection.
If you are registered for the "Hold Fast" conference on Saturday, you will get a free V.I.P. ticket for this concert. If you have other friends that want to come to just this concert, and they want the best seats in the house (V.I.P. seating), those tickets are selling for $25 each. These tickets are going fast, so please order these limited seats early. For every 10 V.I.P. tickets bought, 1 free V.I.P. ticket will be given.
Please consider having a group from your church come. There will be group rates available in general seating, too - for every 5 tickets you buy, you get 1 ticket FREE! The group-rate tickets are $20 each. So mark your calendars, gather up a group and come laugh the night away on March 23! |

Kay Warren, wife of Rick Warren, says this about Mary: Mary Southerland is proof that good things come in small packages! Petite in frame, the power of God is mighty within her, and she communicates His truths with passion, humor, wisdom and conviction. She has walked with God through some very dark, bleak valleys, and in those difficult times she has learned to find her joy and strength in Him. Women will be encouraged and equipped to walk closer to Him as they listen to Mary.
Mary is the author of several books, Coming Out of the Dark, the story of her personal struggle with clinical depression; Sandpaper People, which helps you find answers for the question: Is someone in your life driving you crazy?; Experiencing God's Power in Your Ministry, which shares that success and survival is possible for every woman who serves God; and her latest book, Escaping the Stress Trap, in which she shares how you can take charge of anxiety-filled circumstances, approaching stress in a way that freedom and peace can rule your daily life.
Mary is also a freelance writer and writes a weekly column for women in ministry as part of "Rick Warren's Tool Box" on the Purpose Driven web site. We are in for a treat as Mary shares Christ as Truth, Life, and Power for holding fast as we live the life of a minister's wife. |

Heart and Soul Connection | PO Box 31 | Tucker | GA | 30085 | | Written by a pastor's daughter who has been disillusioned by church people and church tradition, this poem gives an honest look at the feelings of our children when they encounter ungodliness in the church. Four basic characteristics of ministers' wives that are common to all women who live this very unique life. Caring for traumatized people can exhaust your physical, emotional, and spiritual resources. Frequently, this depletion leaves you in deep emotional pain because you experience the trauma of others vicariously. This is called compassion fatigue. Anyone who regularly cares for others is suceptible. |
