WELCOME!!

I'm so excited to begin something new...thank you for joining me!  I've already been hard at work lining up some encouragement for all of us.  As I sat and wrote down names of pastor's wives I knew whom I could ask to contribute to this blog, I had two full sheets of names.  You've hit the mother lode of possibilities for encouragement!  There are so many women around me who have sailed the seas of ministry successfully whose lights are shining.  I believe they will be a lighthouse so your own adventure is successful.

You may have married a minister...or you may be like me and your husband didn't join the staff of a church until you'd been married several years.  It can be overwhelming to meet new challenges for which you weren't even prepared.  I've never been to a pastor's wives school.  Heck!  My husband didn't even go to seminary!  But I was mentored by some very capable pastor's wives.  And I want to pass it on.

Do I have all the answers?  ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!   But I have learned a few things along the way and God continues to teach me daily.  But you won't just be hearing from me.  I'm only one kind of pastor's wife.  I want you to hear from a beautiful mix of women--different denominations, different cultures, races, temperaments and giftings--whose husbands have different positions in the church.  I want you to hear from pastor's kids who've survived being a pastor's kid.  I want you to hear from women who are on the staff of a church.  And I want to hear from YOU!  So be sure and leave comments.   I want to know what your needs are so they are addressed.

Again...WELCOME!!  

I believe God wants to bless you beyond your wildest imaginations!!

"Therefore encourage (admonish, exhort) one another and edify 

(strengthen and build up) one another, just as you are doing."

I Thessalonians 5:11
