My Calling

Posted on June 4, 2024June 4, 2024 by Pam

MY CALLING

I wonder if dad’s feel the same? My calling has been my two children. I have worked harder and been happier about them than anything else. Yes, busy, but even the picture of Christ and His Bride, the church, is family – God’s plan. That is what challenges me most about same-sex marriage. If we all chose that, our civilization would die. It cannot be right. It denies God’s design, and, therefore, God. If you deny God then you deny Jesus, then you deny Heaven and end up in hell. Are you going to argue about that and everything else that does not conform to your personal agenda? You are not God. That is also a real pit in divorce. Those who do not keep their promises or stop trying to be the family they promised to be could be selfish – you think? Maybe they believe the lie that God likes divorce. God does not. Jesus returns to Genesis to explain that important principle to the scribes and Pharisees who are hoping, like John the Baptist, that taking the hard line on marriage, divorce, and related sin might get Jesus  beheaded. Stop thinking you can have the affect and stature of the hero of your story and make special rules for your ‘special’ circumstances. I am not a hero but I love those people God allowed me to care for. We don’t have to be perfect. Go and love your people because nothing is more important. It is not easy but it pleases God. He is faithful and appreciates faithful people like Him. My calling was you.

Family on the Jungle Cruise

"Thoughts from a genuinely evaluative mind."

Pam writes so that must make her a writer. Recently retired, she can now fill days with family, friends, missions, writing, creating, and showing up for whomever needs her. Pam loves the Lord and people. The Bible is God’s love letter to us (and who does not need more love) so she studies and writes some more.

Pam lives in the Pacific Northwest but was home-grown in Southern California. She attended San Jose Bible College and finished a Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry at UCLA. She became a teacher, then a Research and Development Chemist, then she built two successful real estate businesses in two states. Pam also pursued study at Fuller Theological Seminary and just completed six months serving in missions abroad.

Pam has two amazing children, married to two precious in-laws, and five sweet grandchildren. Pam is a gifted connector and communicator and the Northwest has the perfect climate for staying inside and writing – or baking! She has been writing since a wee one and is currently converting many years of blogging, by topic, into ten books. The first is a collection from 2011 titled, Beautiful Enough. The second is a yearly day-timer titled, Weekly Planner - Lessons in Life, Glory, and Grace. Number three is in progress with the working title, Christmas Today.

Ten facts about Pam in no particular order:

  1. On the team that developed an insulation for the Alaskan oil pipeline.
  2. Loves looking at homes, decorating, and has flipped five homes.
  3. Likes being tall.
  4. Films have helped define her vocabulary.
  5. Comes from Colorado tenement farmers with history traced to Wales.
  6. Was lost but now is found.
  7. Baking makes her happy – as does eating sweets with coffee, of course.
  8. She thinks mission work is the most important work in the world.
  9. The church started in Rome so she is learning Italian.
  10. Pam is a work in progress!

“I will be your God throughout your lifetime - until your hair is white with age. I made you, and I will care for you. I will carry you along and save you.” Isaiah 46:4
