I know God has a sense of humor. Looking at my life, I know He has a sense of humor. My life has become everything that I mocked. It's become everything that I said I would never want or want to become. I mean, a stay at home mom...I mean, just get a job. That's what I thought. My perception of stay at home moms were that they were lazy and just didn't want to work. Now, a mother of 4 with my oldest being 3 1/2, I can attest that I have never worked so hard in my life. Then there is the pastor's wife thing. I mean, the fact that I even believe in God is a miracle, but then to marry someone who would go on to pastor. I don't fit the um...traditional pastors wife role. They are agh, impossibly too nice, too kind, too...submissive. That will never be me. Oh, never say never.
I have become everything that I made fun of. I have become what I said I would never want, yet, I am living a life that I am proud of. Not to be too Rick Warren esk...but a life of purpose. My life is exhausting, physically and emotionally. I often feel like my day is over before it began. Yet, I know without a shadow of a doubt that I am right where I want to be and right where I am suppose to be.
This blog is to journey my daily life as a wife, a mother, and a Christ follower. We enjoy a lot of ups and downs. A lot of victories with a lot of defeats. A lot of laughter and many tears. The ride is wild and it's crazy at times, but it's all mine!
