Hi Bonnie!
I loved this post. As a woman who also finds herself sighing at the thought of women's ministry, yet deeply connected to her church and to the women who attend, I struggle to find my place in it all without a cynical edge. I do think what you say is so true, when we open our eyes and hearts to those around us and refuse to simply agree with those in our age/stage, we see the body of Christ is a much bigger way. It is so freeing! Thanks for these thoughts, they were a bright spot on a rainy midswetern day.
