So,
chosen by God for this new life of love, dress in the wardrobe God
picked out for you:
compassion, kindness, humility, quiet strength, discipline.
compassion, kindness, humility, quiet strength, discipline.
Be even-tempered, content with second place, quick to
forgive an offense.
Forgive as quickly and completely as the Master
forgave you.
And regardless of what else you put on, wear love.
It’s
your basic, all-purpose garment.
Never be without it.
-Colossians 3:12-14 (the Message)
I don't need a seminary degree to be a good pastor's wife.
I think a lot of people assume because my husband is a pastor that I too have a seminary degree. I do not. Everything I have in my storehouse of ministry comes from years of prayer, reading & studying on my own, sitting under good Bible teaching, being part of small group Bible studies & from deep conversations with my husband, who has a doctorate in ministry.
This was one of my hang-ups in the beginning. But I've long since come to a real place of comfortability in where I am in my spiritual walk, who I am & what God has called me to be as a wife, a mom & a PW.
Even more, I love the beautiful peace that comes with that...
