I was walking into a women’s Bible study at church on a Saturday and we were doing name tags, and I don’t know what came over me, but I wrote down “Mrs. Pastor” on my name tag. Of course, it was funny, but why in the world did I do it? Everyone that knew me there knew I was the Pastor’s Wife. Yes, I like to joke around and have fun. I even got to park in my husband’s senior pastor parking spot, so maybe that is what started it all. I was proud to be the Pastor’s wife and just carried it on to my name tag! No matter what, that is the fact. I AM PROUD TO BE THE SENIOR PASTOR’S WIFE! I am proud to be my husband’s wife. I am proud to be in service to the KING of KINGS with my husband, the senior pastor!
(I Corinthians 7:3 Let the husband render to his wife the affection due her, and likewise also the wife to her husband.)
My husband and I have been on this journey of ministering together for 23 years. I can tell you about many stories and amazing things that have happened throughout these years (and I probably will at some point) but what I want to share with you at this very moment of my life is that no matter where God takes you and no matter what He takes you through, HE IS ALWAYS THERE! HE WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU! HE WILL NEVER ABANDON YOU! HE LOVES YOU! HE WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU!
Back a few years ago I created the Facebook Page, Daily Life of a Pastor’s Wife, and was really good about posting encouraging quotes and verses and then life as usual gets in the way. I still post things there occasionally, but it is now also going to be the name of this blog. They are all connected, well, because that is who I am. A pastor’s wife and it is a daily thing no matter where I am at.
Today is Sunday, I have edited and uploaded the sermon video, I have updated the website, I got distracted and finally started writing this, of course I have a few other things to do, but here I am. Writing. I could already be taking a Sunday afternoon nap by now. This evening is a rare occurrence where there is nothing going on for church tonight. What am I doing on here then? Well, I am being that daily pastor’s wife who tries to do a million things that she doesn’t need to do but gets to do or wants to do. It is my privilege to be such that person. I thank God that He chose me to be a pastor’s wife. One who has a daily life just like everyone else but is serving next to her pastor for the glory of God and to further His kingdom so that all may know the name above every other name, JESUS!
(Colossians 3:17 And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.)
I am not going to write much more right now, because yes, my eyes are getting sleepy, but this is all that is needed to be said for right now. Wives, go love on your husbands, Woman of God, go love on your Savior! He is all you need!
appreciate you so very much ❤..love and hugs ❤.
Thank you, Pat! Love and hugs to you!
