First of all let me say that I do NOT find my identity in that title “pastor’s wife”. Actually if given a list of titles to describe me- daughter, friend, mother, teacher, Christian, – Pastor’s wife may fall lower on the list than some may think. My purpose in beginning this blog is to 1) create a “safe place” for other minister’s wives to vent, discuss, and just read about someone like them. 2) to entertain- really my life can be quite entertaining at times- comedy, drama, suspense- I’ve got it all! 3) Probably the main reason for this blog is to dispel any myth about people in ministry feeling like they must be perfect. Let’s be honest we are FAR from perfect. I mean besides the fact that the Bible says: “All fall short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23- Yes I had to look that up, even though I went to Bible college!- Anyway, even though that truth is in the Bible, we really don’t even have to look there. The truth is pretty evident in our life- no matter how hard we may feel the need to try to hide it.
So why do we try sooo hard to hide the fact that we ARE imperfect people? Well, I’m not going to try so hard anymore. I feel like if I am more transparent, maybe you or someone else, can connect with me in our imperfections. Maybe we will laugh about it, or maybe we will cry about it, or maybe we will fight about it, but through all of that maybe we will connect and maybe God will be seen through our relationship. That is my prayer and my purpose… So here we go ! Let me know your thoughts on the subject…
