    MomCo leadership training Păltiniș 2025

    There is a certain degree of joy and rest in the familiar. We returned to Păltiniș in the fall, with many of the MomCo leaders. We learn alongside those who are growing in their leadership roles, and there is room in the ministry team for fresh forces and new or young mothers with diverse life…

  • Feedback: Conversații stânjenitoare dar ziditoare

    Feedback: Conversații stânjenitoare dar ziditoare

    Când am propus tema am zis așa:“Subiectul de feedback este esențial de înțeles și practicat pentru lidere: să fim adorabile, să creăm un mediu propice dialogului și să setăm așteptări pentru comunicare. Să practicăm împreună în ciuda disconfortului.” De multe ori alegem sa tăcem pentru ca e mai ușor. Poate uneori ne întrebam:Este treaba mea…

    Weekend de echipare lidere MomCo – Păltiniș Nov 2025

    Exista un anume grad de bucurie si odihnă in familiar. Am revenit iar toamna la Păltiniș, cu multe din liderele MomCo. Învățăm și noi odată cu cele care cresc în rolul de lidere, și e loc de forțe proaspete și mame noi sau tinere cu experiențe de viața diverse în echipa de slujire. Am mers…

  • Motivation

    Motivation

    We can do hard things propelled by motivation. Sometimes we assume our motivation is shared by all. But that is definitely not true. Take for example a job. Some prefer a high paying job that comes with a lot of stress. Others prefer flexibility at a lower pay. Some want routine, security, steady income and…

  • Off the mountain, back from the coast 

    Off the mountain, back from the coast 

    Returning to day to day life, to reality – it is hard no matter the age. Kids don’t have the practice of it, though their reality is social and still fun. Not too much pressure – except school and grades and peers.  Ivy did not wake up happy. On the contrary. Down turned lip, quivering.…

  • Adevărul

    Adevărul

    In ultimile săptămâni am fost întâmpinată cu câteva minciuni gratis de la J. Minciuni spuse parca pentru practică. Poate astea ma deranjează ce mai tare. Citesc printre rânduri, prin pupilele dilatate, si îmi pare rău sa vad cum se știrbește încet încet încrederea mea in hotărârea fetelor mele de a spune adevarul.  O întreb pe…

  • Impact

    Impact

    “Do not consider yourself wise. Fear the lord and stay away from evil paths.” That was week 2 for my week in the Proverbs with Brian & Michelle. I admire the humility with which this wide group of accomplished people present themselves. They are quick to acknowledge their shortcomings and where they feel they came…

  • Discomfort

    Discomfort

    I had a difficult repeat conversation with my husband, and as he said he appreciated my accompanying words of affirmation, he felt like he was on a job yearly review and it was difficult to hear. Even though he is such a graceful feedback receiver, and attentive and patient and humble, I bet it was…

  • Oasis among friends

    Oasis among friends

    In MomCo the official volunteers are all from different churches. We are not afraid to stand alone. We probably seek paths to forge alone and come together bringing our unique gifts and perspectives.  I fit right in as an outsider, in a group of outliers. A large group of women, no two from the same…

  • Trying to understand 

    Trying to understand 

    It’s a trap. A trap of the mind. I’ve been in this labyrinth for some time now, more than I wished to be, and I realize I haven’t figured out fully or clearly why I feel a certain way. Until I let go of wanting to grasp the knowledge. The understanding. To have it all…

  • Mind buzz

    Mind buzz

    So many trains of thought rushing through my mind. A constant buzz. Overlapping. Competing.  I know the joy of peace through meditation – not easily attained. As a kind when praying my mind would easily wanter and I would struggle to bring it back into the one activity of prayer. Little did I know that…
