So maybe it's just me....
I never in a million years dreamed I'd be a pastor's wife. The church's "first lady" as one of our bus kids called me. I'm sarcastic. I'm moody. I have one SERIOUS attitude problem sometimes and sometimes I just don't like PEOPLE.
It's a good thing I love GOD.... and my husband I suppose. (SEE! There goes that sarcasm again!) Lets get real. I knew since I was a teen that I would be involved in the ministry. I did! BUT.... I expected to sing and travel with my husband who would focus on teen evangelism. I had it mapped out. HARRUMPH. God didn't like my plan as much as I did. He gave me the husband and working with teens BUT.... did you ever notice in the Bible when it says "BUT GOD" something AMAZING always happens? After several years of struggling to adjust in a marriage at a young age and working in a church that was a LOT more conservative than what I was brought up in then add in children, a military deployment for hubby..... and our pastor resigned. MY husband was the only other church staff member. GOD began to work in our lives. He gave us a true LOVE for the church even when my own world felt like it was crashing down around me. A YEAR into my husband being the temporary pastor God gave me this amazing peace that YES, I was going to be a pastor's wife and YES, I could handle it. ME?! Um God? You sure about this? Ok this is where that BUT GOD stuff comes in again y'all.... Have you ever been to a church meeting? How often does EVERYONE agree? Never right? We were voted in UNANIMOUSLY. Within minutes. Shoot. I even TRIED to have people vote against me. God knows better than I do.
This is not what I had intended to write about but here I am some time later still adjusting to being the pastor's wife... and maybe it's just me.... but I love being the pastor's wife. More later!
<3,
the crazy pastor's wife
