6 month check up

So I have made it 6 months as the senior pastors wife and haven’t been fired. I wonder if any senior pastor’s wife has ever been fired. I used my old friend google and only found results of “pastors and their wives being fired from churches, shootings, and being fired up.” Since google seems to be the authority on all things relevant, then I guess I would have to say no.

The last 6 months has been a journey for me. Being a pastor’s wife for 14 years I thought I had this thing down pat, but it’s different when your husband is leading the whole thing and you are with him.  There are some areas in my life where God has been cautioning me.

One area is about positional pride. It is very easy to say, “I’m the senior pastor’s wife I shouldn’t be doing that.” I believe that thought is a lie the enemy brings as a vehicle for pride. My heart has been to do what ever is needed no matter the job and that shouldn’t change now.

Jesus is the best example of the leader I want to be. He came to earth in the form of man and washed the the nasty feet of his disciples. This job was for the lowest servant in the house, and Jesus the son of God did it. Wow! 

I want to have a heart quick to serve no matter the task.
