save. He will take great delight in you, he
will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice
over you with singing.” ~ Zeph 3:17

Ministry
Specialties - Women's retreats, conferences,
workshops and banquets; Pastors' wives' events;
Sunday morning worship services.
Mission
Statement -
My greatest delight is to discover new truths
in God's Word and share them through stories
or object lessons in a way that captivates an
audience or reader.
Ministry Background
- As a pastor's wife for fourteen years,
I experienced both the ups and downs of that
calling and use those memories to minister to
women in all stages of life. I began speaking
beyond my own church walls in 1996, and though
most of my audiences are believers, I include
a simple, subtle, yet clear, description of
the Gospel in each presentation. I'm a Bible
teacher that uses humor, stories and intriguing
demonstrations to imprint God's Word on the
heart.
Professional
Background -
I've worked in banking, optometry and cosmetics.
I've been a student's wife, coach's wife, factory
worker's wife and pastor's wife - all with the
same husband - I might add. I consider myself
a full-time wife, learning to be an empty-nest
mom.
Educational
Background -
Associates Degree in Business at Indiana University,
5 years of Bible Study Fellowship, many years
in the School of Hard Knocks

• Sacred Love, Sacred Dance
– Scripture says we are to love the
Lord our God with all our hearts, minds and
souls, but how do we love and invisible God?
Mesu shares from the Song of Solomon a shortened
version of her novel, Love in a Sacred Song.
The sacred love of Solomon and a lovely shepherdess
provide heart-rending life applications that
can change our knowledge of God to love for
God—loving Him with all our hearts,
minds and souls.
• Finding God in the Why –
Most people ask God “Why” at some
point in their lives. Why is God Picking on
Me? Why is He Punishing Me? Why is He Pulling
Away? We’ll examine some of those deeper
questions about suffering posed in Mesu’s
novel, Love Amid the Ashes. Then,
we’ll discuss how to ask good questions
and hear God’s answer.
• Extreme Makeover – What
Is God Doing In You? – A practical
working weekend in which we have three goals:
1) we build our personal testimonies in order
to 2) learn to boldly share the Gospel, and
then 3) clearly discern God’s work in
our lives. Bring your spiritual toolbelt,
and be prepared to get real with the Master
Builder.

• Turning Stressed Around –
It’s Just Desserts (Spelled Backwards)
- How many big breaths does it take
before a balloon pops? The real question is
- how many soccer games, piano lessons and
late husbands does it take before mommy's
head pops off? We'll take a practical look
at how a believer can deal with stress and
give hands-on stressin' lessons to recapture
the joy of a peaceful heart.
• Bible Basics 101 - Ever been
baffled by the Beatitudes, perplexed by the
Prophets or unregulated by the Revelation?
The Bible can be a confusing book until you
realize it's a single story. That's right
- just one story - God's relentless pursuit
of His beloved - you. Cover to cover. Genesis
to Revelation. God simply wants you. Let me
show you how it fits together.
