Not that he was a celebrity, not that he wasn’t anywhere remotely close to Texas, but that he was twenty years older and married. This, in my mind, meant he was no longer accessible. Imagine my devastation when I learned that he was actually about twenty years older than I originally thought. I had fallen like a brick for Davy Jones. (I've always had lofty aspirations.) He had a baby face and deep, brown eyes and an accent completely foreign to my West Texas ears. One in particular looked especially young, and in my nine year old brain that meant he was accessible. All I knew was that the guys in the band were cute and made me laugh. I wasn’t even convinced that singers weren’t actually showing up in the radio station to sing songs throughout the day. Of course, I didn’t understand the concept of a rerun back then. That was when one of the local stations in Abilene, Texas fortuitously began playing reruns of The Monkees. I was about nine years old when Cupid’s arrow hit from a console television set. Truthfully, this is a book that has been in the making since roughly 1979, when I first had my first celebrity crush. She can be seen on Joyce’s programs Enjoying Everyday Life and Everyday Answers and has traveled the world sharing the work of the ministry’s outreach arm, Hand of Hope.For anyone who knows me even remotely, especially my work within some celebrity fan circles, you really don't have to wonder what prompted me to write the romantic, sexy, fantasy-filled backstage romp I affectionately and appropriately named 'GROUPIE.' Always a pen in her hand and a smile on her face, she leads the ministry’s media areas including broadcast, online and print with a passion to share God’s love, help the forgotten and elevate the creative level. Ginger Stache is an award-winning producer and the Chief Creative Officer of Joyce Meyer Ministries. Phil 1:25 Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith, 26 so that in me you may have ample cause to glory in Christ Jesus, because of my coming to you again. I ask for influence, not for my sake, but for others and ultimately for Him. It isn’t as easy as it sounds, so I have learned to pray Phil 1:26 daily - that my presence will bring others joy in Christ. Influence is important, but it is the motive behind your desire for influence that matters most. Why we’re to be a “lasting” (sweet Aroma) influence. Why God tells us to go and be an influence to the world.

We all impact others lives, but what’s the one thing you’ve learned about influence?.

After all, He gave me those unique talents and quirks that make me, me. Thankfully God’s ledger looks much different than the one in my mind. When I compare myself to others, I often come up measurably short. It separates you from the masses.īeing unique is also the reason that you don’t need to compare yourself to others which is immensely freeing. Your uniqueness becomes your brand, what you can offer that no one else can, the reason your message hits the mark. Joy is much deeper than happiness so slip on your shoes of readiness to find joy in every situation.īeing Unique – how someone can set themselves apart with their own gifts and talents, Or, why it’s important to embrace being different.

My boots provide solid footing both on the mountaintops and the lowest points –and surprisingly, each can bring immeasurable joy. Others are difficult days of trudging through slums and trash dumps, encountering people in the most heartbreaking situations on earth and bringing them God’s love. Some are days of adventure and soaking up God’s creation. My best days come when I lace up my hiking boots. I’m a shoe lover so I’ll use my favorite pair to explain. Joy – where you find your joy and how it’s different from what the world promises will bring happiness? No matter how inadequate I feel, how spent I may be, how much I doubt that they want to hear from me – I have much to give.

No matter how long I do it, how hard I study, what I’ve accomplished, or how good I am – I have much to learn. What’s the one thing you’d like to share with women that God has recently taught you?.Ginger Stache – Chief Creative Officer for Joyce Meyer Ministries
