There a some people that make a difference in military life without ever donning a uniform. This is the case for Moina Belle Michael, the Ivy League-educated military child and wartime volunteer who became the Poppy Lady.
On this episode to the Deeply Rooted, Planting Roots Publishing Director Morgan Farr shares the life and the lessons we can learn from Moina Belle Michael, the daughter of a Confederate soldier. Moina grew up during the Reconstruction era in the post Civil War South and saw first hand how difficult it was for veterans and their families to recover from the devastation of war.
Moina’s favorite motto was, “Whatsoever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might;” which comes from Ecclesiastes 9:10. The full verse says, “Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might, for there is no work or thought or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol, to which you are going.” What a fitting verse for a woman who spent the second half of her life helping veterans and memorizing the dead.

Earthly adoption and foster care are pictures of our heavenly adoption. Adoption and foster care have many challenges and even starting the process can be daunting. In military life, families can experience even more daunting tasks and wait times, however when God has called you to adoption or foster care, He equips you and he makes away.

You made it through your term of leadership with a few bumps and bruises. Now what? Do you retreat? Or do you continue to lead through mentorship and support?
Join Muriel Gregory and Jennifer Wake for week four of RISE UP Awaken the Leader in You.
A great cry arose among the Jews. They were being oppressed, not by their enemy but by their own people. Hearing of the injustice, Nehemiah did not hesitate to take action. Nehemiah displayed holy anger against their sin. He was not concerned with what was popular. He was a true leader, he stood for what was right.
As a leader when you see injustice how do you respond?
Join Muriel Gregory and Kelli Baker for week three of RISE UP Awaken the Leader in You.
Upon arriving in Jerusalem, Nehemiah faced strong opposition and the harsh reality of a fallen city. Even though he was fully confident in his calling and demonstrated great faith in God , he would not accomplish much without the dedicated supporters.
Just like Nehemiah need all "boots on the ground" to rebuild the wall. We need a tribe at the wall with us elbow to elbow.
Join Muriel Gregory and Melissa Hicks for week two of RISE UP Awaken the Leader in You.
Few of us will ever get the call to lead a king's army against an enemy. However, at some point we will sense a burden for a cause, a person, a country, or a situations. At some point, we all have a place at the wall.
How will you respond to the calling?
