- SHARE: Do you feel like your life is an ongoing juggling routine? Amy Simpson with Christianity Today’s publication Today’s Christian Woman interviewed Diane Paddison, and learned more about Diane’s advice for professional Christian women trying to do it all. Please share this with any professional women you know.

Job openings are available in the U.S., as well as internationally. The second organization is Hope International, an organization that invests in the dreams of the poor by offering them biblically based training, savings services and loans. Job openings are also available in the U.S. and internationally.
- SWEET SPOT: Marian V. Liautaud, editor of Today’s Christian Woman, discusses how her career path changed bit by bit as she grew up, and how where she is today feels just right.
