"Really Mindy, you think you are fit to be a pastor's wife? I mean come on. First off, you know all the ways you fall short. And with all you have going on right now, what do you have to offer the church? I mean really. You can barely leave your house, especially without Jason's help. For example, what are you going to do at the Easter Egg Hunt? How are you even going to contribute? And this blog, people are going to read it, and they are going to think...wait a minute, she is planting a church with her husband right now??"
So as I was laying in bed tonight, and satan threatened me with these thoughts. I thought to myself, you know what, I am not fit to be a pastor's wife, but I AM CALLED! So back off satan!
you are fit! God created this opportunity just for YOU! you are beautiful and perfect and just how He wants you to be! You will be a leader of the church that its members can relate to...how precious is that!!??
ReplyDeleteThat's right baby, you are called. Remember God equips those He calls, He does not call the equipped. If He did they would not rely on him, but would do everything on their own strength. Look at Biblical characters: Abraham, Moses, David, Daniel, all the Apostles, Jesus' brother James, Paul.
ReplyDeleteThat's right, Satan, back up off my wife. I am not afraid to punch you in the mouth in Jesus' Name because our God reigns.

Amen Jason!!! I struggled with the same lies when we church planted. That's all they are, lies. But man can they feel real. I really love reading your blog. I feel like our hearts are connected, even though I'm just reading about your life and your heart...maybe I should start a blog. And Mindy thank you for being so honest and real. I know what to pray for. If you guys send out email updates about the church plant please add me Lindsey.McEachern@gmail.com blessings!
