Okay, I have got to tell you all about my birthday...it was this past Monday. My husband is a romantic type, and he loves to plan surprises. Yes, I know I'm blessed. I thank God every day for him. He has been planning my birthday ALL YEAR. (Okay, I know...friends tell me...

I can't even believe it. I'm stunned. Our SP booted out the problem family. The one who has been kicked out of three churches (ours included, under a previous pastor!), and almost caused a split on more than one occasion. He called him up at the end of the week and asked if he...

...partially because I just needed some unbiased encouragement and advice, and partially to see if he had any leads. He told me that quite honestly, if he were in my shoes, he'd be looking for a new place to minister. And gave me a lead, apart from the FT one I'm pursuing. This one is only P...

I'm curious. What is the weather like where you live? I'm in the Panhandle of Florida, about 30 miles from the Alabama line. Our low was 48 degrees & our high 92 degrees -- a 44 degree difference in the typical day this week. (I did hear that tonight is supposed to be warmer.)&n...

Well, I sent in my resume to a church in my area that is looking for an assistant children's pastor...as well as e-mailed my District's CE director to request a meeting - for advice, encouragement, and possibly more job leads in the area. I love my pastor...I really do. And I love...

Has a woman told your husband that she is attracted to him while he was serving in the ministerial role? (Due to the nature of the situation, I’m not going to give a lot of specific details.) Last week, dh was ministering in some capacity to a husband & wife (but not in a confidentia...

Do you ever feel like you deal with drama queens in the church? Just curious. I think we all have people in our church who pray for things, then get upset when their prayers are answered. In other words -- attention getting behavior to the max. I have a few women in my church r...

Trace · Trace

Do any of you ever ask, "Why Lord? Why did you call me in the ministry?" Why can't I just be a teacher somewhere & dh do whatever it is he wants to do (besides pastor), go to church, teach a SS class, pay my tithes, anything but be in the ministry. I'm sorry, but I'm having a very low moment...

Hello Partners, My name is Dell. I'm the minister--my husband is not, though he is tremendously supportive. We travel quite a bit while living in a 22 ft trailer. I sing and preach (or teach) and he sees that I am where I am supposed to be on time. This fall, I seemed to have nothing lined up and couldn'...

On October 9, our church is awarding a Licence in Gospel Ministry to a young man who, with his wife, travel and sing. He occasionally speaks, but is not a very good speaker or teacher. But, oh can this couple sing! I have been asked to speak about 8 minutes with words of advice. (A deacon and our pastor...

When do you just throw in the towel and say, "Enough is enough!"? When do you stop fighting? How do you keep yourself from feeling that you've failed in your ministry? You all have read about my struggles in my church over the past year. YP and I are both about ready to shake the...

Hello all! Just wanted to take a minute to say that Mark and I got married on the 4th!

We are very happy! I heard him refer to me today for the first time as his wife, and my heart nearly jumped out. I have never been loved this wa...

I am packing again... I will be moving to New York City (or at least that area) to join my husband at our new challenge... Stepping into his father's shoes (while he still has them on) and taking the church from where it is to where it can be... This has been an exhausti...
