Thanks for blessing us with your honesty and insights. I've been blessed by your thoughts and words. Thanks for helping us remember we are alone on this journey. I pray your continued journey will bring you and your family many blessings as you and Scott seek HIs will. I am encouraged by your courage and strength to follow God's call!

Love that you closed with those few words from Shepherding...so fitting!

God Bless]]>

Just checking in to see how things are going. I sure hope things are continuing to work out and that people are helping you & your husband finish well. BTW...that post from your husband was priceless! You need to copy and paste that into your screen saver or something! ( =

Please keep praying for us. Just about the time we start to feel God beginning to work in our church again, someone squashes it and we're back to "biting and devouring one another." It's very frustrating.

Anyway, I've been praying for you lately and wondering how it's going. Hang in there!]]>

because of some choices they have made to do to compromise one of the ministries of the church. The person I feel that should do the confronting is side-stepping their responsiblity to take care of the situation.

Please pray for resolve to take place and quickly.]]>

Can we rip this chapter out of the book and re-write it???? Ok--I guess I understand. This reminds me of when I was 8 yrs old and the pastor at my church resigned. I looked around and my mom was crying as well as many people who I called friends of my family. I instantly thought that I could "fix it!" So when a vote was taken I opposed to accept his resignation. My mother who was a very dignified lady was highly embarrassed!

So, Pam, I OPPOSE your resignation!

Much love and many blessings!

For the past ten years, Pam has been my rock. I could not have stayed in ministry as long as I have had it not been for her. Don't get me wrong - Jesus has been my source of grace and power for doing ministry. However, my experience has been that the instrument of his grace has been my wife. It's through her that he has brought me strength, comfort, hope, and joy for the journey.

I owe my wife so much. In every way, she has been the ideal pastor's wife. Not one time in the past ten years has she been anything other than an asset to my ministry experience. She's never caused problems. She's never overstepped her bounds. She's never done anything to produce criticism of my leadership. Instead, she has been a silent warrior who has faithfully stayed by side through thick and thin. She has ministered as the Lord has led her. She has made a prositive impact on the lives of those who compose the congregations we have served. Quite simply, I don't know where I would be without her.

So, I just want to say - Pam I am so proud to have shared the past ten years with you. You are my perfect mate. I freely acknowledge that, without you, my pastoral experience would have been much weaker - and probably much shorter. I thank God for bringing you into my life, for giving you the courage to say I do to a 19 year old college kid that still had so much growing up to do. I look forward to the rest of our lives together. In the midst of all the change, you are my constant. That makes the change bearable, even enjoyable.

I love, Babe! Forever and always!!!!!]]>

Congratulations and prayers to you and your family. It's such a good feeling to find the unmistakable direction God is leading you, but I also know that times of transition are so hard- especially for those in ministry. I know these last few months of wondering and searching have been difficult: it's where my husband and I find our selves now. But I appreciate your continuing your blogging ministry through it all. Your blogs and the community of PW's that surround it have been a wonderful source of encouragement for me. Thank you for being real and, in turn, allowing us to be real as well. I will be praying for you and your family as so many things begin to change. And if you get a chance, please write about your experiences during this transition. I am interested to know if my own experiences are normal...not that anything we PW's do is normal, but...it's good to know how to pray and what to expect when our transitions arise.]]>

That would break my heart if if were my children, but I have been the recipient of some tough things. As an adult, I learned to just move on and forgive. Sometimes with kids it is harder. Good lessons for everyone in that.]]>

Growing up I was not the Youth pastor's daughter or even grand daughter. I was the Youth pastor's sister-in-law and one of the youth in his group. I tagged along with him on so many things---taking people to get their check from WIC or taking them food, clothing and a host of bus ministry stuff. How many days of visitation to homes or hospitals? I could not even begin to tell you! It brought us very close and gave me a heart for ministry and SERVICE! The lessons Iearned were/are invaluable to me then and now.

I think that was God just getting me ready to be a PW. Guess what? When my husband and I first married he was a Youth Minister just like my brother-in-law. God has a way of teaching you those great lessons that will benefit your life later. He is a GOOD God! It kinda makes me laugh at the twist he did in my life.

You never know what God is doing to prepare you for tomorrow today!]]>
