A new phase...

Okay ladies, I would love for you all to join me in a new phase of my blog! Starting Monday, May 6^th , “Prowess and Pearls” will be launching its new weekly series entitled, “Michell’s Weekly Pearl”, where you can ask me ANYTHING!  If you’ve got a question on relationships, family matters, women’s issues, parenting, marriage, homemaking, etc., and you want an honest, biblical, to the point answer, please email me! Just to give you a little background on myself. I’ve been married for over 24 years to my husband, a pastor. I’ve worked alongside him in ministry full-time for over 17 years and during that time, established a women’s ministry(Women of Excellence). We have three adult children and a son-in-law.  I specialize in family, marriage and women’s issues. Hopefully the (Godly)wisdom I’ve learned through

Doing YOU WELL Wednesday #14

Hi everyone! It's Wednesday and you all know what that means!! What are you doing well...do tell! :-)

For all of you who are new to the link up...all you do is share with us what you're DOING WELL this week! It can be ANYTHING(something you're doing personally, a project you're working on, etc.), no matter how big or small. Because we do so much for others, we sometimes find it hard to

Throw your hands up, throw your hands up!

Sometimes we have to sit down, take a breath and regroup. Especially when we find ourselves starting to complain and gripe about our lives…where we are and what we are or aren’t doing. If no one else will say it, I will. In general, we as women tend to do this more often than men. I don’t know why…but we do. Single women want to be married, wives want to be single. Working mothers want to be at home with their children, stay-at-home moms want to go to work. Where does it end? When we start to

I remember when...

Okay, first and foremost I must say that Spring Break was a blast last week! Family vacation AND my SITS Day on Friday! Can you say Oooooweeee!!!!

We had an awesome time at the beach! Unfortunately, my husband and son-in-law couldn’t make it, *insert sad face here*! So, it was just me and the kiddos! Even though our babies will be 24, 22 and 18 this year,  they.are.still.my.babies. and YES we still hang(our family is close AND cool like that)! :-) This was the first time we’ve gone on vacation without my husband.:( But it was kinda neat having Keri around...seeing as if after she got married and moved out last summer, it’s just been me, Big Daddy and the boys!  It took me back to the days when they were small and we would

Things you've always wanted to say...

Have you ever had something you wanted to say but, (a) couldn't, because it could hurt someone's feelings (you know people are easily offended these days, even if what you’re telling them is the truth) or (b) you might get your head bitten off. Well, I've compiled a list of things I know you've always wanted to tell someone, but
