“You have to act crazy so you don’t go crazy.” This is one of the many nuggets of wisdom my mom, Jocelynn Goff, has passed down to my sisters and me. However, the wisdom I most treasure is her spiritual legacy and example of time in the Word and in communication with our Heavenly Father.
Whether from the stories she shared (and, believe me, she has a story for everything!), or for the insight she passed on, I appreciate that my mom is my physical mother, my spiritual mother, as well as my sister in Christ.
I value the wisdom she has passed on and the ways in which I, in turn, can now pass it on to others, that they might also pass it on to others.
That practice is what we are all about as a ministry: equipping women to connect to God and one another more deeply—sharing the wisdom God has given us by being and equipping spiritual mothers, mentors, and Iron Rose Sisters to one another.
Today is my mom’s birthday, and in her honor, I share a picture of the legacy of faith and wisdom from my grandmother, to my mother, to me... May you be inspired to pass on words of wisdom, inspiration, and encouragement to others as Iron Rose Sisters.

Some people live on a budget. Others accumulate debt on their credit cards.
Whether rich or poor, in abundance or in need, we are all burdened by financial stresses and must decide how to spend what we have.
Timothy Keller, in his book The Prodigal God, defines the word prodigal as one having spent it all, recklessly extravagant...
In Matthew 13:45-46, we see the parable of the pearl of great price or value. We don’t know the financial condition of the merchant in search of fine pearls. We don’t know how many nice pearls he had found previously.
What we do know is that when he found this one pearl, he went and sold everything he had in order to buy it. He sacrificed it all for the one.
God sacrificed his one and only Son—he paid the ultimate price, that we might be his.
What are you willing to sacrifice in order to be his disciple (Luke 14:33)? The widow gave her last two coins (Luke 21:1-4).
This kind of financial practice seems foolish to the world, but we recognize it as wise spending.
God sees you as the pearl of great price. Do you see him in the same way?
