I’m so thrilled to be sharing here in this new online community for ladies! What a joy when sistren walk together in unity; can I hear an “amen?”
Denise and I had the chance to talk a bit recently and she thought the readers here might like to know about a project I launched last month. Back in December, as I was studying and seeking the Lord about what exactly He wanted me to focus on as a writer and blogger and sojourner along the path of life, I ran across these old familiar verses in Titus 2:3-4…
“Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good, so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored.”
And I had one of those “aha!” moments. Surely, here we have an outline for a great curriculum, if you will—a course of study we can’t go wrong with. Many ladies lament the fact that there are no “older women” nearby offering to spend time with them—most are busy with their own lives, or feel unable or unqualified to step into the scary-looking shoes of the “older woman” having not been mentored themselves. Others find that, as young mamas with little ones and carpool and soccer and chess and … and … and …
They are the ones with no discretionary time, and wish so much for a way to study and learn “together” without leaving home.
Sounded like the perfect opportunity for a whole new type of ministry! And so, Titus 2 University was born.
Since there are seven specific areas mentioned here, this is a nine-month “university.” We begin with a general overview of these topics and talk about what it means to be a woman who follows the Lord. Then for the next seven months, we’ll focus on each subject above in turn.
And here’s the really fun thing, which makes me giddy every time I think about it … some very precious “sistren” have agreed to join us! We will cover loving our husbands with Cindy Rushton; loving our children with Sally Clarkson; being sensible with Crystal Paine; being pure with Chelsea Terwilliger; working at home with SarahMae; being kind with Emily Freeman, and being subject to our own husbands with Joy Forney! And there are several more fabulous interviewees on the list.
You can get all the details and you can read more about it here.
Right now we have ladies from all over the country involved– and a few international friends, too! We’d love to have you join us! If you decide to join us from Sisters in Bloom, send me an email to let me know. I’ll make your last month of a monthly subscription free, or take $5 off the full-session purchase price. Hope to meet you soon!

Misty Krasawski is the overly-blessed mom of eight children whom she homeschools in sunshine-y Florida. She has been clinging ferociously to the hand of her Lord since she was knee-high to a grasshopper, homeschooling for the past thirteen years, and has eighteen more years ahead of her with the children who are glad she will have done most of her experimenting on those who went before. Her wonderful husband Rob has much treasure laid up for him in heaven for having been called to such a daunting task.
