Dear Sisters,

Joyful New Year my sisters! I have so much to thank God for as this New Year begins. My heart overflows with joy at His many tender mercies in the life of my family and myself. I cannot stop thanking Him for the way He has worked in our lives. (continue reading)

Tips for Leaders

A caring leadership. No other area draws Ellen White’s concern in leadership as much as in caring for the poor, needy, and marginalized. In the midst of unparalleled prosperity of our nations, neglect of the needy corresponds to spiritual poverty. The perpetual search for meaning in the workplace might find resolution in the minds of those who applied Ellen White’s counsel about serving the poor to their personal prioritizing.

Cindy Tutsch, Ellen White on Leadership: Guidance for Those Who Influence Others (Nampa, ID: Pacific Press, 2008),149. – Spirit-driven leadership: A perspective from Ellen G. White,  https://www.ministrymagazine.org/archive/2010/02/spirit-driven-leadership 

Healthful Living

“It is not work that kills; it is worry. The only way to avoid worry is to take every trouble to Christ. Let us not look on the dark side. Let us cultivate cheerfulness of spirit.”—Ellen G. White, Mind, Character, and Personality, p. 466.  See also Homes of Hope and Healing, chapter 3, "Stress"
