Most of my blogs in the past have been about my family, organizing, homeschool and such. I will probably occasionally still make posts like that, but I feel like I need to take my blogging in a new direction. I want to write more about being a pastor's wife and serving in ministry. Describe what that life is like and just share more of a journal style of writing... So here we go.
1 Samuel 26:8 "God has surely handed your enemy over to you this time!" Abishai whispered to David. "Let me pin him to the ground with one thrust of the spear; I won't need to strike twice!"
Being in leadership there have been times that people have come to myself or my husband and said "Oh you should be doing youth ministry" "You should be in the mission field" "You should move and serve over in this city." "You could be leading your own church instead of just being an assistant." They mean well, just like Abishai meant well for David. However David used real wisdom when he said, in his response... "No!" David said. "Dont kill him. For who can remain innocent after attacking the LORD's anointed one?"
Sometimes I hear these opinions and I wonder, am I in the wrong place, should I be doing something else...
It's not that we wouldn't want to lead our own church, or go and be a missionary in a foreign country, or work in youth, family or any other area of ministry than where we are serving. It's that we are being obedient to what God has told us, not a friend or family member. Be careful who you listen to. Always take everything back to God. I journal my questions to him so I can keep track. Then when I sit in our church services, read devotionals, read my bible, listen to bible studies, pray, I wait. I wait for him to answer my questions. He always does... In His perfect timing He gives me the answers I am seeking.
"The LORD directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives." Psalm 37:23
