My Purpose and Plan

I am a wife to a wonderful man who pastor's a small rural church of 20 people.  I am also the mother of five beautiful children whose ages fall into the preschool and lower elementary range.  The purpose of this blog is to express how God is working in my own heart and life to draw me closer to him as I work through the challenges of being a pastor's wife and mother.

You may be thinking there are plenty of resources available on being a pastor's wife and balancing ministry and family.  You would be correct.  However, I am finding relatively few resources that help the pastor's wife who finds herself in an older congregation with young children.  Here on this blog, I hope to explore my challenges and answer each challenge with Scripture.  I want to journal my journey of becoming the godly wife and mother God desires me to be, and my journey to minister to my church family as a godly pastor's wife.  By publishing this on the web, I pray I will be an encouragement to another pastor's wife who finds herself alone and discouraged because of the small size of her husband's ministry.
