Hello! I’m Betsy.

I believe overwhelmed women can learn to take small steps to experience more of God's presence and power in their lives. When we hear God's voice through His Word, He calms our fears and frees us to receive His peace and joy. Read More…

So excited to begin at @dallasseminary this fall! Diving into Systematic Theology as a first step to my Masters in Christian Education 😍🎉
Such a fun evening last night at Convocation.

Feliz Navidad from the Cruz family! ❤️🎄

We've enjoyed such a fun and memorable Christmas season. So grateful for family, loved ones, and for the way Advent cheers our spirits and reminds us of the wonder of Jesus' coming to earth.

I'm so grateful for all the ways God showed up at

I'm so grateful for all the ways God showed up at our Women's Christmas Lunch with @northwestbiblewomen . ❤️🎄 This was the biggest party I've ever hosted, totally beyond my capacity. I'm giving God thanks for the amazing people who made it possible:
👉
#2 Cindy Douglas, our Women's Christmas Lunch Coordinator. So gifted.

#3 Our Ninja team who did the work to pull everything off.

#4 Our speakers, @rebeccacarrell and @beca.inke . So talented. Filled with the Holy Spirit.

(Amazing worship team is not pictured! 😭)

#5 Fabulous table hostesses, who decorated the tables and made women feel welcome.

#6 Men who volunteered to serve, including my own José!

#7 Northwest group life team women, who served as table hostesses and supported me in those moments when I thought I'd lose my mind! 😂

(Not pictured are our lovely greeters and my dear daughter Camilla, who was at my side, one of my best friends. ❤️)

#thanks to all of you! What amazing #teamwork ! ❤️🎄

Best Thanksgiving ever! So grateful for family and the blessing of getting to celebrate together. 🍁🦃🍁 (Best surprise ever was when @mcruzpeti walked in the door all the way from Michigan! Apparently everyone in the family knew he was coming except for José and I. ❤️)

Fortunately, I was not in charge of decorating for

Fortunately, I was not in charge of decorating for Sugar and Dice this weekend! Where I would have plunked down autumn leaves and fake pumpkins, my friend Mary had a vision to make our women's social beautiful with these flower arrangments and white pumpkin candleholders.

For me, our event was a fun celebration of women's gifts, and the fact that we are better together!

@kristenains had a great idea, organization, and menu planning skills.
@emileemeeks gave it a cute name and promoted it.
@marystoelzing made it beautiful (and got her husband and his wheelbarrow to bring in all the pumpkins).
@raisinshan led us through the ins and outs of Bunco!
@heyjayes had a willing heart to help with setup.

So grateful to get to serve with such an amazing team of women and for our @northwestbiblewomen community. ♥️

I'm smiling about the first day of fall even though it's 97 degrees outside in Dallas. I love fresh starts and new seasons. 🍁🍂

It's almost 6 months now since I started a new role as women's minister at Northwest Bible Church. I'm so grateful for how God has helped me up to now and for the lovely community of women I get to serve. I've been stretched in new ways, and I'm learning more about desperate dependence on Jesus! He's showing me that the most important thing I can do to serve others well is to cultivate a quiet spirit that waits on God, listens for His voice, and trusts His power instead of running ahead on my own steam! 😅

I'm looking forward to the coming season and continuing to learn how to seek more of God's presence and and trust His power.

Also looking forward to cooler days! What are you looking forward to in this new season? 🍂🍁

He's the best! So grateful for 28 years with José

He's the best! So grateful for 28 years with José. A sense of humor was #3 on the list of qualities I hoped for in a husband, and we're still laughing together. God has been so faithful and good.

My heart is full and I have butterflies in my stomach! ❤️🦋 I'm so grateful for the privilege of serving as women's minister at Northwest Bible Church.**

Tonight we start our women's small group Bible studies! This semester we're going to dive deep into the gospel of Mark. I feel butterflies because I'll be speaking tonight and tomorrow morning, but I can rest knowing it doesn't all depend on me. I can trust God to work in the lives of our women as we seek to pursue Jesus and live out His purposes!

So thrilled to have an amazing team of 17 women serving to make our Bible study possible.❤️

**(Started 4 months ago, but this is the first time I share it here.)

What a gift to visit Ann Arbor and see where Andre

What a gift to visit Ann Arbor and see where Andres has spent the last 2 years at University of Michigan Law School!

Somehow it all seemed more real now that we saw with our own eyes what we'd only heard about. Words fall short to describe how grateful we are to God for His blessings and how proud we are of your hard work, @mcruzpeti ! (Oh and nothing quite describes the joy of 60-80 degrees Fahrenheit after the summer in Dallas! 😅😅😅)
