Relish the Responsibility: Guest post by Tricia Lovejoy (pt. 2)

        As believers, we are called to serve God and others.   But, as a Pastor’s wife, I also have the distinct honor of getting a front row seat for all the action!  I'm not going to squander the influence and responsibility my role innately has.  No way. I have chosen to relish the responsibility.  I have chosen to leverage my influence for God's purposes.  I understand that I live in a fishbowl, and people are watching me. Might as well give them something good to watch, right? ;)  So, I discipline myself to stretch my faith and skills so that I have something of value to offer those who are watching.  Paul’s words are a great motivator for me: “Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.” Phil. 4:9
    What about you, Pastor’s wife?  How can God use the partnership you share with your husband?  My suggestion?  Get in there and get your hands dirty!  Whether you are best behind the scenes or out in front, love God and lead well, my friends!  Break the mold! Relish the responsibility!
