Grief. Mental health diagnosis. Being discontent. Hidden sins and shame.
These are a few of the topics of the top ten blog posts of 2023 for Willowdale Women.
“Top” meaning the most read and visited and shared.
What does this show about our community? We’re in great need of a savior, and, praise the Lord, He has sought us and bought us and calls us His own.
I’m grateful that we have such an honest and vulnerable group of authors willing to share parts of the redemptive work Christ is doing in their lives. Revisit these blog posts as you take stock of your 2023 and reflect on perhaps some hard things you’ve lived and learned.
Then look at your Savior to guide you forward into 2024.
Blessings on your New Year!
From all of us here at Willowdale Women

ABOUT OUR BLOGGER
Originally from Georgia, Mary Beth Gombita is a lover of sweet tea, a proud Georgia Bulldog and an avid music fan. She works in public relations, running her own communications consulting business from home.
Mary Beth and her husband, Stephen, have two young sons. She is currently the editor of our Willowdale Women blog.
January is a great month to jump into one our women's groups. In our groups we enjoy great teaching, thought provoking discussion, prayer, relationship building, and serving opportunities. CLICK HERE to get a taste of all Women's ministry is offering, and PLEASE register ASAP to ensure we have plenty of books and materials for our first week.
We are also looking for women (and men) to invest in our little ones during our daytime groups and MOPS. It's a wonderful opportunity to build relationships with our children, model the love of Jesus, and help them experience Him through Bible stories, music and crafts. If you are interested in serving with our children, please let me know. Whether you can serve weekly or just once a month, we'd love to plug you in.
Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
