Grow spiritually strong with our Step-by-Step Guide to promote happiness in the hearts of Christian women.

I am all about Personal Growth, and I'm constantly searching for new ways to change the way I think, and become a better person. My heart longs to become a better listener, counsellor, friend, speaker, conversationalist, leader, and writer. Do you have this longing as well? 

Much of my downtime is spent reading my collection of books on these topics, listening to sermons, and gathering inspirational quotes. My heart is hungry and my soul is thirsty to learn and to acquire wisdom. I touch on my collection of books in this blog post, "My Office Remodel Takes Me Down Memory Lane."

There is a Bible sitting on a table or dresser in every corner of my house, and I fill my spirit with this heavenly wisdom every day. Explore "Why Should You Read the Bible Every Day?"

After my spirit is fed and my soul is nourished, I read a devotional, pray, or write in my journal as time allows.

It is important for me not to check my phone messages during this time or I get distracted in unimportant information that will steal my moments away. Read this article if this resonates with you, "Don't Miss Finding the Greatest Treasure"

I find spiritual inspiration for my Blog Posts during moments of self-awareness and self-reflection. Usually, this happens as I'm reading my Bible, or when I hear a quote or a Scripture verse that moves me deeply.

One gift the Lord has bestowed upon me is a love for little children. I have a deep fondness for these little innocent people that will one day become adults, and I firmly believe that the first 5 years of a child's life is very important. Our ministry has created multiple Bible lessons and coloring pages with easy access to downloads, and books. Visit our webpage, "Bible Crafts and Coloring Pages for Children," or our Etsy Store, "Scripture Art Co," for more information.

Training children in God's ways is upmost important, and doubly important, is making them feel loved and appreciated. My husband and I expressed affection to our children on daily basis. Through our words, actions, and making every birthday special. They knew, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that their parents loved them unconditionally.

Birthday parties were extremely important in our household, and we made a big todo with cakes, presents, and novelty-themed birthday parties. Our children are in their late twenties now and they can still recall each and every birthday party throughout their childhood.

Because of these special memories we have of throwing birthday parties for our children, I've created a "Happy Birthday" Coloring Book Series. The first coloring book is published on Amazon, with more to come!  CLICK HERE to View

 

Parents have a special job of loving and nurturing their children as they learn and grow into the people God has created them to be. If you are a mom or dad who is burned out and could use a little bit of inspirational ideas to keep things lively and fresh at home, then take a moment, and browse our "14 Creative Ideas for Family Fun" and test a few ideas on your loved ones next time you all gather together.​

This website ministry was created to inspire you to develop a deeper understanding and connection with God so you can live a fulfilling life as a Christian woman. Would you like to ignite your passion to grow and mature into the best possible version of yourself?

Angie Viola, my sun and shade ministry to women, children, marriages and families

As a pastor's wife, ministry leader, grandma, and office administrator, I face a range of experiences in my Christian walk. Each month, I share my journey of joys, struggles, and victorious moments with all of my readers in The Read-Pray-Sing Blog​. 

If you have a heart to know God's ways and a desire to develop a closer, deeper, walk with the Lord, I welcome you to join me on this journey of Christian living!

There are many people that do not want anything to do with God's ways, and treat us terribly because of it. Have you faced ridicule and harassment for living a life of a believer? Sometimes, other Christians are the ones that treat us the worst. This verse found in the Old Testament comes to mind when I am faced with mistreatment for my beliefs, "Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me." (Matthew 5:10-12)

Follow this website ministry for a constant flow of encouragement for your Christian journey. Check back often for new updated information.

As I seek the Lord's presence and read His Word on a daily basis, there is a river of life within me that longs to pour out. I sense the Lord's favor upon me when I share spiritual truths with my readers through newsletters, blog posts, prayers, and online articles.

​​

May you be abundantly blessed as a woman of God. May you come into all that the Lord has purposed for you, and may you find joy in living every day.
