I know I haven't posted in a while... but I have been a little busy starting a church. I have one word to describe the last month and a half of labor: Joy. Seriously. I can't tell you how thick and rich and deep the experience of God's grace has been in it. I will post more about that soon.
But for now - Lauren posted some thoughts on her blog about being a pastor's wife that I want to share with you. You can find it here: Ground of my Own.
If you know me - you know that I am not your typical pastor (if there is such a thing, I guess). I have just kind of tripped through life and God has always directed my stumbling steps to take me where he wants me. Five years ago, I would have laughed at you if you had said I was going to be a pastor.
Well, Lauren never imagined that she would end up as a pastor's wife. The experience has been just as rich and encouraging for her as it has been for me - but she comes from a background where she kind of knew what she was getting into with the whole pastor's wife and family thing (sit on the front row, live under a magnifying glass, have everything together at all times) that so is so common to church culture ... so she is determined to keep it real.
So, read it.
Oh - and here is a link to our new church website if you haven't checked it out yet. It is capital B basic - and I am looking for a web guy to help us do it right... but it works for now! Trailhead Church Edwardsville
