I Thess. 5:24 Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.
My life has not exactly turned out the way I had thought it would. I never dreamed that I would be married to a preacher, much less a pastor! I have never felt qualified to be set up as an example for other ladies or girls to follow. Those that knew me as a child and teen would agree – I just wasn’t the “pastor’s wife type”!
Regardless of my “type”, however, I gave my life to the Lord as a sixteen year old girl. I told Him I’d do anything; go anywhere. He had me marry a preacher! That preacher became a pastor, and here I am, doing what I never dreamed I’d be able to do.
A great relief came to me one day when I read the above passage. God called me to do this work – to be a pastor’s wife and mother of five – so He will have to do it. I often place too much responsibility on me, when it all should rest on Him.
I now know why God made me a Pastor’s wife and a Mother. Those are two occupations in which I feel very inadequate. Because of my inadequacy, I tend to seek His help more than if I worked at something I’m naturally good at, like…uh…well, you know…like…okay, I’m sure there’s something! 🙂
The Lord is pleased when I depend upon Him. And let me tell you, I need Him! Every hour I need Him!

I need Him every hour, now if I would just let Him help me instead of trying to do it all myself. Very good post, thanks for sharing your heart.

Just found your blog and I really love it! You remind me so much of myself when God called me to serve Him with my life… and I still feel inadequate, but “God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called!”
