How to Get Along with Your Husband

8/14/2017

By Joyce Zook

I was right and he was wrong. But he insisted he was right and I was wrong. The argument got louder and louder until I walked out of the room in weariness.

Frequent disagreements tore us apart emotionally and destroyed the closeness we once felt. I feared our quarrels doomed us to constant unrest. I even thought I might leave since we didn’t get along.

When I discovered the personality types I found a tool to understand why we kept fighting. Our struggle to control turned us into a two-headed monster going nowhere. We share a lot of the Choleric personality traits. We both want control and believe our way is right. One of us had to budge.

You may argue because you have two different personalities. Problems arise when Popular Sanguine wants to have fun and Powerful Choleric wants control. Perhaps Perfect Melancholy wants the room neat and tidy, but Peaceful Phlegmatic doesn’t care about a few dirty dishes.

Your shared personality characteristics may cause the conflict. You both want the closets in perfect order, yet your ideas of perfect differ. Or neither person wants to disturb the peace, therefore you can’t decide on a restaurant and sit at home eating leftovers.

If you bicker often, consider your personalities. Which person wants adventure? Who want’s control? Which one desires to make life perfect and which craves peace? Is the squabble due to a personality clash?
The Bible encourages us to do everything we can to live in peace with everyone. (Romans 12:18) I wanted to stop quarreling and live in harmony with my husband.

I learned to discuss the key issues and recognize the ones which didn’t matter as much. Not every concern was a major issue. I also chose to follow my husband’s lead in our home and not challenge him for control. (Ephesians 5:21-23) In most situations, I made the adjustment and followed his guidance. We set aside time for the items I felt significant enough to discuss and try to resolve.

The Serenity Prayer by Reinhold Neibuhr provides a guide to sort the critical issues from the rest. It asks God to help us change the things we can, accept the things we can’t, and the wisdom to know the difference. Most decisions we can accept. We understand it’s different than ours, but it’s not a big deal. Plan a time to discuss the difficult issue, listen to each other, and seek a reasonable solution.

Do you fight with your husband because of similar personalities or due to your differences?

MEET GLORIA PENWELL-HOLTZLANDER

8/11/2017

Gloria and her four children

For over twenty years, Gloria Penwell has attended writer’s conferences. Sometimes as many as eight in one year, all over the country. You might say she knows something about what goes on at these events and she loves them.

Her love affair with writer’s conferences began many years ago when her husband Dan, who was then working for Hendrickson Publishers out of Boston, returned from a writer’s conference in Oregon and said, “Next time, you go with me.” The rest is history.

In a recent interview, Gloria said, “I get so excited about coming to the CLASS Writers Contreat in Albuquerque because I know I will meet new writers that are struggling.” Gloria has a heart for those new writers, seasoned writers, too, that are in a dry place, not sure where to go next, and just need a little encouragement or a listening ear.

That’s Gloria’s gift. She finds great joy in holding the hand of new writers as they embark on an exciting, yet sometimes scary journey. She urges them to keep learning and spends extra time bouncing ideas around with them that often result in a new direction in their writing.

Gloria’s history with the CLASS writing programs goes back a long way. For many years she accompanied her husband Dan to the Glorietta Christian Wrtiters Conference. Then she and Dan moved with us to the Ghost Ranch in 2009. When Dan passed away in 2010, following a long bout with cancer, Gloria bravely came alone that fall, filling Dan’s shoes as Acquisitions Editor for AMG Publishers.

Gloria and Dan were married for 47 years and have four children, three sons and one daughter, and eight grandchildren. She is very proud of her family.

Gloria and her new husband, Chuck

After Dan’s death, Gloria moved on with life, returning to Michigan where she grew up and two of her children now live with their families. She began working with AMG Publishers, attending writer’s conferences on their behalf and rebuilding a new life. And then God brought a surprise into Gloria’s life.

If you’ve ever wondered if fairy tales come true, just ask Gloria. After 50 years Gloria’s high school sweetheart, Chuck Holtzlander, appeared on FaceBook. Romance rekindled, they decided to get married and tied the knot in May of this year. Gloria should write a book.

In 2012, Gloria was named Associate Director of the CLASS Christian Writers Conference and began to work along-side Director Linda Gilden in molding the CLASS conference into what it is today, a place where writers can learn the tools and techniques of writing and be encouraged by others who understand the heart, soul, and passion of the writer.

When asked what makes the CLASS conference different, Gloria replied, “I just love the spiritual aspect of the conference.” That’s Gloria’s heart. She has a passion for prayer and will once again present her workshop, The Prayer Life of a Writer, at this year’s contreat.

Since her early days of attending writer’s conferences, Gloria has felt strongly about the spiritual component of writing. “Christian writers assume that because they have an idea it came from God. Writers in the Christian market need to know they are doing God’s will. To know this, you must lay a firm foundation with prayer, meditation, and the study of God’s Word, always seeking God’s approval and His covering.”

Gloria’s message to our readers, and all writers is this:

“Cover everything you do in prayer. Build a wall of prayer around you and your work. The devil does not like what you are doing so protect yourself with prayer.”

Gloria also encourages writers to make sure their work is the very best possible. Everything you do must be well-written, well-edited, the absolute best. Invest in a professional editor, it makes all the difference.

“I am so excited to be coming to the contreat in Albuquerque again this year. I want to invite you to join me there in November. I promise that you will experience growth, spiritual, personal, and professional growth. You will be embraced in the fellowship of other writers on the same path as you. I encourage you to come and spend time with us and learn. I look forward to meeting you, listening to your stories and sharing in your journey.” See you there!

Gloria Penwell-Holtzlander now serves as an Acquisitions Editor for Bold Vision Books and will be representing them at the CLASS Christian Writers Contreat. Visit www.boldvisionbooks.com for more information.

How the Woman at the Well Became the Well Woman

How the Woman at the Well Became the Well Woman
Donna Rhodes
Self Published
$14.99 262 Pages
ISBN 97809907964-3-5

Life is a long road, a road filled with ups and downs, twists and turns. Just ask author Donna Rhodes. She can tell you all about roads. During her lifetime, Donna has walked down lonely roads, narrow roads, and slippery roads. Then God took her on a long road which has led to scenic roads and new roads. Reading her moving story, I realize that there were many times Donna must have felt she was on a dead-end road. This was not the case at all. Even when Donna could not see it, God was walking along the road with her, leading her down His road, the one He had prepared just for her.

Donna’s first road took her through a very painful, lonely childhood where she felt unloved and unwanted. She continued her journey through broken relationships, difficult marriages, and single parenthood. The road signs were not always clear and she stumbled often along the way. She kept walking.

Like Donna, each of us is on a road. We can choose how we walk down our road. There were times when as a single mom, Donna walked down the road filled with shame for the choices she had made, but she walked with purpose and perseverance. That path has taught Donna how to walk with power in the presence of God.

If you are discouraged with life, uncertain of your future, or just plain tired of being a victim, I encourage you to read How the Woman at the Well Became the Well Woman.
Donna’s story is a story of victory. She inspires you with her words and reminds us all that hope and wholeness can be found in a relationship with the Lord.

How the Woman at the Well Became the Well Woman is a poignant life story of a woman’s desperate journey to find love. Inspired by the biblical account of the woman at the well, this memoir is a remarkable testament to God’s faithfulness and the power of His redemption. For those who think their lives will never change and those who are afraid to hope again, Donna’s testimony is transformative.

These words from Donna herself say it all, “My heart’s desire is to give you hope, even if you have to borrow some from my story until you find your own. Regardless of the roads you have traveled, or are now traveling, your life is of great value to God. He sent His only son to redeem it, and He will show you the road home.”

Gerry Wakeland

“When I first met Donna, I knew she had a story to tell. This book represents years of work that extend far beyond the craft of writing. I have ministered to thousands of women over the years, but in a unique way, Donna’s quest for love, acceptance, family, and home actually ministered to me. By His grace, she is truly a well woman, the embodiment of His promises, who can now share her powerful experience with others.”
Florence Littauer, International Speaker and Best-Selling Author

Donna Rhodes is an award-winning writer, speaker, life coach, personality trainer, and risk taker. She has served as a Bible teacher, women’s ministry leader, retreat speaker, counselor, and MOPS mentor. Donna is a survivor. She has survived cancer, cults, and life.

Donna’s walk is not over. She continues to follow the road God has set before her accomplishing amazing milestones along the way. She and her husband, Denver have been married 31 years. At age 64, she accomplished one of her dreams and received her GED. Just two years before her mother passed away they were able to reconcile their broken relationship. Keep walking. God is waiting for you at the end of the road.

Meet Linda Gilden

8/4/2017

In the second grade, Linda Gilden wrote a story about her baby brother. God used that writing assignment to plant a dream in Linda’s heart. That dream was to write. Linda did not fully realize what God was up to and it took several years and many experiences for that dream to become a reality. It wasn’t until her mid-30’s that she clearly identified her calling and began to pursue writing seriously.

Today Linda Gilden is an award-winning writer, speaker, editor, and writing coach who loves to share a great story. However, like most published authors she can still look back and remember the first story she sold. The article, a story about her young son, Jeff, was sold to Home Life, a publication of the Southern Baptist Convention. A career was launched.

That first publication has led to hundreds of articles and blog posts, as well as numerous books and ghostwriting assignments. Her first book, Love Notes in Lunchboxes, was published in 2004 by New Hope Publishers. Her most recent publication is Called to Speak. She currently has at least two new books in process and ideas for many more.

While writing and teaching is a significant part of Linda’s life, she is most proud of her family. She has been married to John for 44 years. They are the parents of three children, Kristi, Ginger, and Jeff, and Linda is the adoring grandmother of six very active little ones, ages four through twelve. Her children all live close by so much of her time is involved in family, making memories and enjoying good times together. At any given time, you will find one or more, often all six, of the grandchildren at their home in the country outside Spartanburg, SC.

Linda joined the CLASS staff as a Small Group Leader in 2007. When CLASS went through a significant organizational change in 2009, Linda was appointed the Director of CLASS Writing Programs. In that role, she oversees all CLASS writing projects and events including the CLASS Christian Writers Contreat. In fact, it was Linda’s idea to modify the writers conference to make it more like a retreat. It was then she came up with the concept of contreat(conference/retreat.)

When Linda was asked to be the director of the CLASS Christian Writers Conference in 2009, she said it was a “fulfilment of the one of the secret desires of my heart.” In 2011, she took over leadership of the Carolina Christian Writers Conference held in Spartanburg, SC, every spring. www.fbs.org/writers

Linda has been a member of First Baptist Spartanburg for over 60 years. She is actively involved in women’s ministry, youth, and media. She is known throughout FBS as the “Head Mountain Mama,” where she leads the support team on the church’s annual mission trip to the Appalachian Mountains of Kentucky. Mountain Mamas do everything from crafts, to snacks, to laundering hundreds of t-shirts during this one-week trip.

When Linda’s not busy writing, editing, or washing t-shirts, she enjoys reading, swimming in the family pool and other family times, or attending the grandchildren’s many events.

Linda has a heart for beginning writers. She loves to teach, coach, and encourage other writers, sharing from the wellspring of wisdom God has given to her. She is a living example of the words found in Psalm 37:4, “Take delight in the Lord and He will provide the desires of your heart.”

When asked to share a message of encouragement with our readers, Linda responded, “When God calls you to be a writer, you are in for an amazing journey. Once you answer that call, your job is to prepare yourself to be the best writer you can be and to write every project with excellence. There is a lot of work involved but the blessing far outweighs the work.

“As writers who are believers, our assignment is clear—we must write everything in a way that brings honor to God. That doesn’t mean everything we write has to be a sermon. However, it does mean that all our writing should be done through our Christian worldview filter. We are missionaries in print and our mission is to use our words to touch lives and point others all over the world to God. We need to put action to Martin Luther’s words, “If you want to change the world, pick up a pen.”

To learn more about Linda’s writing and speaking ministry, visit www.lindagilden.com

If you are feeling God’s nudge to write, now would be a perfect time to explore that area of ministry at the CLASS Christian Writers Contreat, November 8-11. And, this weekend, there is an unbelievable special price for this event. It is only $400 which includes the full conference, First Pages ($15 value), Manuscript Critique ($50 value), Social Media Clinic ($125 value). This offer expires on August 8th at midnight so check it out now at www.classeminars.org. Scroll down on the home page and you won’t miss it! Questions? Email them to linda@lindagilden.com.

CALLED

7/31/2017

By Gerry Wakeland

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.” Jeremiah 1:5

This is the theme scripture for the 2017 CLASS Christian Writers Contreat. As Christian communicators, writers and speakers, or those who aspire to be, it is important that we take ownership of our calling. It is more than just an idea that popped into our head one day, more than a dream in our heart.

As followers of Christ we have been called, called to share the message of Jesus with our world. While this may be a surprise to the believer, after all how or why would God use us, it is no surprise to God. He used the prophet Jeremiah to share this message with His people and that message is as real today as it was in Jeremiah’s time.

What does it mean to be called? God has placed a passion in the heart of each of His children. For some it’s to speak, for other’s it’s to write. It’s a burning desire to share His message. That message comes in many forms. Of course, it starts with the message of salvation. But it can also be a message of hope, perseverance, or victory. The message you have to share with the world can transform lives, heal broken hearts, offer hope to the hopeless.

That is why God tell us, “Before you were born I consecrated you.” Set you apart for a purpose. He has a plan.

“But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s own people, in order that you may proclaim the mighty acts of Him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.” 1 Peter 2:9

Proclaim the mighty acts, that’s your story.

God appointed us to be prophets. That seems a bit intimidating to those of us who consider ourselves ordinary. Yet, it’s really very simple. God called ordinary people like you and me to deliver his message in ordinary ways to other ordinary people.

I think of authors like DiAnn Mills who will be teaching at the Writers Contreat. DiAnn writes fiction. You may ask yourself how would a suspense novel share the message of Christ. Read one of DiAnn’s books and you’ll find out. And what’s more is that a novel may reach someone that a book on salvation may never reach. God uses DiAnn’s passion for writing and sharing His message in fiction form to plant seeds that someone else may nurture. You can do the same thing.

So, if you accept the calling that God has placed on your life, if you believe that you are consecrated, set apart and appointed to be His prophet, what are you doing about it?

I want to encourage you, right now, to stop and pray. Share your heart, your fears, your concerns with the One who loves you most. Ask Him to show you how to embrace your calling and move forward with His plans for you.

Then I want to invite you to join us for the 2017 CLASS Christian Writers Contreat, November 8 – 11. You will be surrounded by like-minded people who are working towards the same goals. You will receive excellent teaching from some of the best faculty around. And you will be encouraged to accomplish the plan God has for you.

What Everybody Should Know About Their True Personality

7/24/2017

By Sharleen Tromp

Is it NATURE or NURTURE that causes people to be what they are? Our natural strengths are genetically wired and we are able to do things consistently and easily. We enjoy doing it, we will lose track of time and feel energized afterwards. Our nurtured strengths are those things we have learned through experience, which we can do but takes effort and does not come naturally, it can be draining.

Learned behavior is a skill or adaptation we learn to meet a real or perceived need. Some learned behaviors are healthy and some unhealthy. We can identify learned behaviors in people we talk with by observing attributes that do not seem to match up, by asking questions to discover why they do certain things and by learning about their background. Emotional needs drive the behaviors and are the best indicators of knowing one’s true personality.

Emotional need is the desire to feel safe, loved, valued, stimulated, affirmed, appreciated and capable to be understood. As part of our genetic make-up, we are born with an inbuilt drive to meet a set of physical and emotional needs. When these needs are well met, the brain triggers the release of chemicals that gives a feeling of satisfaction or contentment. We all need to feel that our lives have meaning and value.
Expressing our needs and building relational connections are closely intertwined; they are completely dependent on one another. We simply cannot build a strong bond of trust without being able to communicate and meet one another’s emotional needs. A safe place for intimacy is created when two people can express their needs and consistently complete the trust cycle for one another in a relationship. Intimacy- “into-me-see”- is created between two people who can say, “We can be ourselves together because you can see into me and I can see into you.

Some people need affection and attention, some a sense of control and loyalty, some support and space and others respect and peace.

What are your emotional needs? Are they being met?

For Personality Success, Hit the Easy Button

7/17/2017

By Aaron Zook, Jr.

My eyes widened, focusing on the instructor in CLASSEMINARS Advanced Personality Training. I didn’t need a stomping foot to realize the secret to personality success was easy. In fact, it was a hundred times easier than any other way. I scribbled the secret on my notes, listening for more clues. Like a military planner locked in a windowless room until he produced a completed battle plan, I concentrated on Gary Chevalier’s astonishing remarks.

Gary displayed an overlay of the personalities over four sections of the brain (front left, front right, back left, and back right).

God created us with distinct personalities or temperaments. Hippocrates discovered four basic types: Powerful Choleric (control-seeking), Popular Sanguine (fun-loving), Peaceful Phlegmatic (loyal and steadfast), and Perfect Melancholy (organized and creative).

From the four basic personalities listed above, which are far more complex than the simple description I’ve provided, everyone genetically inherits a preferred or natural type. Some individuals learn to use a personality type that isn’t their inherited one based on circumstances, upbringing, or other factors. We call this a nurtured personality type.

Gary explained the source of his revelation to our class. In Dr. Katherine Benzinger’s book, Thriving in Mind, she presents Dr. Richard Haier’s research which states, “the ‘electrical’ resistance within and between neurons in our area of preference is so much lower that we only use 1/100th the oxygen or energy when we use it to think. In other words, when we use our natural lead, thinking feels easy and effortless. By contrast, when using our other areas, each of which uses 100 times the energy—thinking is literally more difficult and exhausting.”

The area of preference or natural lead equates to one of the four sections of the brain. Front left—Choleric, front right—Sanguine, back left—Melancholy, and back right—Phlegmatic. By operating in your personality of preference, or natural personality, your mental processes flash 100 times faster than if you tried to solve a problem with your non-preferred or nurtured personality. Voila! The Easy Button.

The crux to the problem is determining which personality type is natural for you. Testing is a simple process that reveals the basic traits of your primary and secondary personality types. Knowing this information will help you operate in your strengths (natural personality type). With your personality eyes wide-open, you can sort out the fastest path to solve your problems and discover relationship success with others.

Understanding how your personality type works best for you and with others increases personal satisfaction, happiness, easier task completion, more harmonious home and work environments, and a greater sense of self-worth.

Go ahead and do it. Hit the Easy button.

You have searched me, Lord, and you know me.
You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.
Psalm 139: 1, 2
