I am so blessed to be married to Matt Gibbs! He is the pastor of New Life Baptist Church in sunny Riverside, California. We have been happily married and served the Lord together in ministry since 1991. Matthew and Adam, our sons, round out our family and fill our lives with great joy. Over the years, I have enjoyed serving as the teacher of the women’s Bible study, leading the women’s ministries, teaching high school in the Christian school, homeschooling my own children, singing in church, as well as speaking at ladies’ meetings and retreats. I’ve loved serving in each of these positions, but most of all, I am so thankful to be a life redeemed by God’s grace.
I definitely don’t fit the mold of a pastor’s wife, but that just fine with me. I was a bus kid and was saved after hearing the Gospel from a Sunday school teacher. Life has been an exciting journey since that April Sunday in 1974. God has taken a country kid right off the farm and transformed me by His love and grace. I love my Bible, studying and searching the Scripture and then sharing what I have learned. Most of all, it is the joy of my life to serve the Lord, walk beside Him and share the wonderful grace of my Jesus wherever I go.
I am so excited about this blog. It’s not because I have wisdom of my own to share with you. (We’d all be in trouble if that were the case!) Rather, I have learned no matter what problem I have faced or decision that has come into my life, God’s wisdom and principles from the Bible have guided me as I look to Him for help. I’ve had lots of issues and I’ve messed up on a regular basis, but always true to His Word, He’s been there for me. He truly gets sweeter as the days of my life go by. Let’s join together and get to know Jesus better and grow in grace as we trust Him on our journey. I’m praying for you and ask that you do the same for me.
Blessings,
Penny
