Changes Coming!

Yes, more changes are coming in my life!  Again! 

To begin with, I have changed the name of this blog.  It used to refer to my being a 60-something grandma.  But it now reflects what I know God is calling me to do in my life as I look to the future.

Carousel Ministries ... dealing with life as it goes up and down ... like a carousel.  We all ride it.  We go round and round and at any given point, we find ourselves somewhere between the exhilarating feeling of sitting on top of the horse as high as it will go and then quickly descending to the lowest position on the pole.  Around and around.  Again and again.  Up and down.

Sometimes the carousel stops and people get off and others get on.  Some of us stay on for a longer ride, more experiences.  Sometimes the music soothes, sometimes it excites.  Sometimes the music stops as it changes to the next song.  All of this has an analogy to our lives.

So, with Carousel Ministries, I hope to address the issues that we face in our life, everything from the exhilarating joy of new birth to the lowest despair of death of a loved one.  But how we address and face this spectrum can all be viewed through the lens of faith in Christ.  That's what I hope to share with people as God gives opportunity.

Stay tuned for more information as I work to create a website and demo video, focus on several speaking topics, and start reaching out to churches and other faith-based organizations to bring them whatever Christ has given me to share.  I am over-the-moon excited!  I hope you are feeling a bit of that excitement along with me.

Until next time,

Leslie Anne
