This is Katie from PNG. I came across your blog on your facebook and have been reading through it a little. I just wanted to say that I am an optimist and so far from being a perfectionist that it's sad, and of course, I'm not a pastor's wife. So I really have no way of relating to the situation of a pastor's wife. Anyway, having completely disqualified myself from saying anything, now, I'm going to say something. ;oD When I was 25, I met a pastor's wife who changed my life as a woman. She wrote a book about 5 years after I lived with her family and worked in their ministry. I know you have probably had every book on the planet suggested to you. Anyway, I guess I'm going to add another one to the list. (Do I hear all the pastor's wives snarling "drats...curses upon her for recommending another book"? Hee hee.) It's called "Created To Be His Helpmeet". http://shop.nogreaterjoy.org/ People seem to either HATE it or love it. Anyway, you're posts rock! They have made me laugh, and one actually made me cry. You sound like one awesomely tough woman (that's a compliment)that's been lavished with grace, and continues choosing obedience when obedience is a hard choice. And it sounds like you've got an amazingly God-fearing, loving husband. Looking back, I see this response doesn't even really fit here. Oh well, chicken smell. What can I say? =oD Love to you!
