The Quest To Be A Preacher's Wife

I admire women that can be preacher's wives. Bless your beautiful hearts. I remember an acquaintance told me that in a dream she saw that she was going to be the psalmist that prepared the church for her husband's preached word. Every guy she dated no matter how out of character he was she felt he would be that preacher even if she had to make him into that.

It takes a special kind of person to want to be a Pastor's wife. It's not the most rewarding job in the world. People take you for granted, they disregard your feelings and they act as if you should walk on egg shell around them. I'm not the coddling kind so I may not be the best candidate for the job. After being raised by small town preachers and inadvertently being exposed, for lack of a better term, to people and their issues. Ladies, you can have at it.

What amuses me though is the quest to become the Preacher's wife. For some it's just as highly sought as a college education. I've seen people push and pull, conspire and collaborate schemes to just capture the eye of even those deemed prospective pastors. I've seen women position themselves in church in an effort to make themselves appear more spiritual and I wonder if it's really worth it. I think it's sad really.

I think most of them see it as more of a status symbol than a calling. To be a preacher's wife requires a fortitude that doesn't come easy. It's an internal strength. Not to be taken lightly.

Some of them want to travel the world ..... Flight Attendants also travel the world.
Some of them want to dress up and profile .... Models also dress up and profile
Some of them want to be on the arm of a powerful man.... All arm candy get that "privilege"

Some of them want to sit in the front row... Honey the people in the back row have a better view.

Now isn't that special....
