October... A Day in the Life...

October is Clergy Appreciation Month.

Chuck & I really don't put much thought into this generally. We don't do what we do for the praise of others but because we feel called to ministry, because we love God & because we love people. But this year, I'm thinking about it a lot. You see, this year both our son & our youth pastor got married. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about & pray for their sweet wives... these new pastor's wives. While I don't want to project my own experience onto them, there is so much I long to tell them... 

After all...
I am the daughter of a pastor
the wife of a pastor
& the mother of a pastor






This coming month, in honor of pastor's, their wives & families, I will be focusing my Facebook Page & my blog on what it is like to live life in a fishbowl. I'll do my best to tackle topics like: the 'call', supporting my husband, having friends in the church, parenting PKs, handling the harmful & helpful criticisms, establishing boundaries & ultimately the good, bad & the ugly of how I managed to figure out who God created ME to be...


"So let’s not allow ourselves to get fatigued doing good. At the right time we will harvest a good crop if we don’t give up, or quit. Right now, therefore, every time we get the chance, let us work for the benefit of all, starting with the people closest to us in the community of faith." 
-Galatians 6:9-10 (the Message)
