THE ROCK THAT WILL NOT MOVE
It is so important to remind ourselves of the Lord's steadfast faithfulness. So much of life involves change, upheaval and letting go. Deuteronomy 32:3-4 reads: “I will proclaim the name of the Lord. Oh, praise the greatness of our God! He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is he” (NIV).
If you have read a few of my writings in the past, you know I've referenced this Scriptural passage before. It has never been more relevant than now. My friends, of all the columns I’ve ever written, this is the hardest one. It is my final post as the editor of spiritledwoman.com. I am moving on, but I’m not going too far.
Actually, I’m moving downstairs to a different office and department here at Strang Communications. As of March 17, I will become part of the Strang Book Group. My new title will be Acquisitions Editor. I will be responsible for securing authors for our Charisma House imprint.
I have been so blessed by the amazing opportunities afforded me through the outreaches of SpiritLed Woman, and I am so grateful to all of you who have shared your hearts with me and with our readers. Since we first began publishing in 1998, I’ve come to understand so much more about God’s greatness. I’ve also been privileged to gain a deeper love and appreciation for the strength and wisdom of godly women.
Next week, Charisma editor Valerie Lowe will take over this blog and other duties regarding this Web site. Many of you know her already from the many fine articles she has contributed to Charisma and other publications over the years. But you will learn that there is much more to Valerie than you’ve seen. She has ministered to women for many years, and has a passion to see every woman come to know who she is in Christ. I have no doubt that Valerie will pick up the conversation and take it from here to the next level without missing a beat. I know you will make her welcome through your posts and your prayers.
I, too, am coveting your prayers during this transition. I’ve never liked learning curves. As a kid, I was always frustrated on the first day of school because I thought I should already know everything. This is a new role for me, but I do sense God’s peace. My desire is to continue to serve the Lord faithfully wherever He leads, and to do my best, with His help.
Thank you so very much for all we’ve shared. I will keep an eye on what you’re talking about here. I know Valerie has plans to keep these discussions lively. And if I’m so led, I might have to add my two cents every now and then.
I pray that the Lord’s blessings will meet each of you at every turn.
Keep going.

Brenda, I hate to see you leave us, but I know the Lord has great things in store for you in your new position. Thanks for all you have done to help us, as women, come to know the Lord as we have not known Him before now. Your sister in Christ, Marie Cribbs
Brenda, Congratulations on your new position. The Lord is faithful and will lead you forward.
You will be missed on this level. I have enjoyed reading your column. We will miss you. May the Lord bless you on your new venture. In Christ - Terri King
Best wishes Brenda...I've always enjoyed your columns as well. We go back a few years...I was a regular PTL attender and remember your "singing days". You've always been a blessing! Always remember that our steps are ordered by the Lord and He always works things for our good!
Blessings to you, Nellie Stillwell
Brenda, I'm saddened to see you go, but I pray the LORD will give you wisdom and strength in the new calling He has led you to. I've been more of a lurker than a commenter, but I have so appreciated your column. By the way, I miss my SpiritLed Woman paper issue so much! I would often read it as I took my breathing treatments, and it was always a breath of fresh air to my spirit. :-) Love in Christ, Trudy Den Hoed
Blessings to you, Brenda, as you embark on a new chapter in your life. I've enjoyed your columns over the years and keeping up with your life's events. Do drop a line now and then and let your sisters know how you're doing. Your new venture sounds real exciting and I know you'll do well. Another sister in Christ, Nikki Anderson
Brenda, congratulations on your new posting. I am from the island of Borneo in Asia and now living in Australia. I have had the privilege to enjoy your column for the past 2 years. At many a times, they have given me encouragement, strength and comfort as I go on my walk with Jesus. You have been a great blessing and may you now be blessed many folds more. In Christ - Karen
Dear Brenda, my best wishes for God's best in your new venture! You will excel at anything God lays before you as a mighty woman of God. Acquisitions at Strang has acquired a real prize! Onward! Love, Susan Zimmerman
What a great opportunity to keep pressing into the destiny God has for you,Brenda! Your writings should be entitled: "The Epistles from Sister Brenda" because each one has been like a letter from the heart to teach and empower every woman they have reached. Be Be Blessed and Onward Christian Soldier! Aida Pardo
Congratulations Brenda! And most of all, thank you for your obedience to the Lord in all you've done for those of us who have sat under you, and all you shall do as you continue to allow Him to lead you. In Jesus name, I speak blessings over you, that you will daily be continually transformed into the image of Christ. I've seen God in you, and am so thankful. What a wonderful example you've been!
Brenda, may the Lord continue to bless you in wisdom, knowledge, and truth. I finally am back online after a 3 month departure, I've missed the availability of SpiritLed Woman. Your column and comments were a large part of my inspirational time, I shall miss this. We know that the Lord never takes away, just replants. May you prosper in security, faith, and wellness. I am sure you shall inspire many more, and Sister Valerie shall blaze new roads with all of us. Know that the Lord is well pleased with your compassion and passion for all that is Godly. Be blessed. One more of your sisters in Jesus Christ,
