Pastor Cher

Who am I? Well, I guess that depends on what I am doing at the time, like most folks. Right now I'm a writer and author, later today I might be fulfilling the duties of a pastor, evangelist or counselor. Later this week I might have some teaching, singing, writing or gardening to do all while I try to be the best wife I can and daughter to a Living God. It wasn't always like this. As a matter of fact, my desire was to teach and be a loving wife. But things don't always turn out the way we plan, do they?

I began teaching Sunday School and Children's Church when I was 16 years old, and would have never guessed that path would lead me to becoming a preacher. I can even remember praying and asking God, "Please don't let me marry a preacher." He answered my prayer for a short time. I know that God has a sense of humor, because not only am I married to a pastor, I am one also. Something I didn't see coming, but never regretted.

In all the challenges I have overcome in life, I have derived this from them as a Christian and have made it my teaching motto: "Identify the problem and give it no place!" The problem, well, simply put is... sin, satan or my own will. The place ... under my feet. That is, no place. Once I identify what is causing the problem, I confront it with the Word of God, and give it no place to grow in my life. I have to be honest, sometimes it takes a lot of stooping to get the problem under foot and give it over to God, but when I do, the victory comes.

My purpose and vision is to build the Kingdom of God through programs that focus on the function of the family as a whole, youth and community outreach by teaching Godly principles, and ministering to the orphans, widows and senior citizens.

I have been called to: "Gather the Children for the Kingdom of God," and that's what SOFFY is all about. For more of my bio click on my photo.

It seems that no matter what list of things I try to accomplish during the year, I always fall short in doing it all. Furthermore, it seems that many people fall into this same category each year.

Instead of feeling bad about what I didn't get done, I am thankful for the things I did accomplish with the help of the Lord. When I look back over the year, I find that there were things I accomplished that were more important than the things I had on my original "to do" list.

As we enter into another year let us be thankful for the victories we have had through Christ Jesus, and thank the Lord for another chance at the list this year. "Thanks be unto God which always causes me to triumph in Christ." 2 Corinthians 2:14
