Equilibrium in Extremities: Finding a Balance When Life and Ministry Collide

Life throws curve balls at us all. We're going along, content with our schedules and routines, achieving a certain balance in life and ministry demands when we get hit. The death of a loved one, the illness of a child, or the caring for a dying parent leave us reeling, fruitlessly reaching out for the equilibrium we once had.

What we do when life's emergencies force us to set aside or adjust our ministry duties in order to honor, grieve, and cope?

In this issue, several women in ministry answer this question by sharing their most challenging experiences. We trust their hard-won wisdom will help you find your equilibrium in God when faced with similar situations.
