May MOPS

Pennie Bixler has been happily married to Mike for 18 years. They have raised two children, her pride and joy - Aaron (16) and Bridgette (almost 15). Pennie is the founder and Executive Director of SAMmy’s, Inc., her passionate labor, (Strength Among Moms Ministry) and the Director of a SAMmy’s Chapter in Hudson, WI where she lives. (www.sammysinc.org) She tells people that her salary triples every year, as she gets paid the same for all her duties, whether as an Executive Director, writing Bible study curriculum, mothering, or housekeeping. J However, she is very passionate about everything she does, doing it all for God’s glory. She also gets the opportunity to do some freelance writing and speaking at women’s events and conferences, which she enjoys immensely. She currently is taking evening theology courses and being continually amazed at how God constantly has made her life one complex, multi-faceted, beautiful story full of tears and laughter (and rarely anything in-between) that glorifies Him and profound insights that reveal themselves in the curriculum she writes and the stories He so graciously allows her to tell. All she asks is that God continue to use her – in health and sickness, sadness and happiness, in whatever circumstance…for His glory she exists.
