Welcome!

Dear Friends,

This new site was a long time coming...

My husband died eleven years ago. At the time, several friends suggested that I join a support group for other young widows. Well, I had a little boy to raise. Sitting in a room filled with other women who where as depressed as I was, was the absolute last place I wanted to be. What a downer! I was depressed enough! So, I never joined a support group. I never sought any counseling (although it might have been a good idea). I never talked to anyone about my feelings. I just went on with life. I didn't think I had a choice. Nick was three-and-a-half at the time and he needed his mom to be the same mom she had always been. He needed consistency. So I grieved alone and in silence.

Several years have passed and now I find myself working at an amazing women’s ministry. God brought me to Proverbs 31 Ministries and it has been one of the greatest blessings of my life. Not only do I work in an atmosphere of grace, but I get the love, support, and friendship of an amazing group of Godly women on a daily basis. I am in the safest, most encouraging environment I could ever ask for and I am thriving as a result. Each day I see God's hand at work in my life and in the lives of others. It is just too wonderful to keep it to myself! This ministry provides me with an opportunity to share these wonders.

Proverbs 31 Ministries seeks to provide God’s peace, perspective and purpose to today’s busy woman… no matter where she is in life or on her walk with Jesus. We hear from stay-at-home moms, working women, married women, divorced women, single women, and we hear from women just like me. They want to know that they are not alone. So, with much encouragement over the past few years from my friend Lysa, who said, "God doesn't comfort us to make us comfortable. He comforts us to make us comfort-able," I have launched A Widow’s Might.

"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4

Friends, I pray that A Widow’s Might becomes a place where you feel encouraged and refreshed and comforted. A place where you will meet friends – fellow travelers – as we walk this road together. We will share laughs, tears, challenges, and victories. You will hear from women who share a common bond, each one with a different perspective and a different method for handling this thing called life.

I invite you to join us. This is a sisterhood! Write to me at LeAnn@Proverbs31.org, or post a comment. Share your thoughts. Ask questions. I would love to hear from you. We are all in this together.

Sweet Blessings,
LeAnn
