My First Blog Ever
Well, my mom started blogging awhile ago and I was unsure about it. After reading her blogs I felt drawn to do likewise. You see my mom is the woman I strive to become. She is a pastor's wife and makes it look like something I would enjoy being. Since I now am technically a pastor's wife, I am trying to frantically absorb all I can so that I will be able to support my husband's ministry with teens. I always swore I would never marry a youth pastor, or a pastor of any kind. Not that I dislike the church, I love the church, I have just always thought that they deserve a better leader. My mom always said I would marry a youth pastor and I thought I had won that argument when I married Jayson, a business major. God must have giggled a little when He called Jayson into ministry a year into our marriage. Although I am not yet at peace with this, I am content to continue with my journey with God to help me to become the help mate that my husband needs so that he is as effective of a pastor as my dad has been. I have found that although life sitll has it's ups and downs, it is much more enjoyable with God in the pilot seat. I also feel that through this journey I might be able to become more like my mother, but more importantly I will become more like my Father. Grace is not something that has come naturally to me but something I have strived for all my life. As I have embarked on this journey I will always remember that "God's grace is sufficient" and that is my hope as I endeavor to live by grace.

Hey You!!! I was glad to see you here in this little bog world!!! You seem to have the same gift as your mom, a very good writer. Anyway, feel free to comment on my blog anytime, I love to see messages!! Love you Lots, Mindy
Wow! Did I actually get in on the first post? How cool is that? I don't think that has ever happened to me.
Thanks for visiting my blog. I am a pastor's wife too. But I have many years behind me. Meaning, I am ancient compared to you. In fact, I bet I have a son your age.
Have fun blogging. And come see me again.
OK, full disclosure. I just checked your profile. I have TWO sons that are OLDER than you. Pass the Geritol.
Andrea - what a good post on your blog! I don't know what you were so worried about! And what sweet words you shared.
You know when our friends were here a couple weeks ago, Carrie mentioned to me how impressed she was that all you girls are so involved in the church. I guess I had just taken it for granted. Since then I have thought a lot about it and I have realized how blessed I am. Dad and I are very proud of our girls and their gifts of service to His church. You are going to be an amazing pastors wife - simply because you are being obedient to what He is asking of you. You will never go wrong when you do what He wants you to do.
What a good testimony your mother has that you would want to become like her. May God bless you as your follow in her footsteps in serving Him.
