Michael sent me this web site (http://yourjourney.org/waterNew/default.asp?T=508434&DID=1189 ) for church a planter's wife and I found it hard to read, yet comforting at the same time. Here is the summary of the article I read challenging us lucky (or unlucky) women....
She will not be perfect. We all fail and do so will she. Failure is not to fall down, but to stay down. At this point she should dust herself off, ask forgiveness, if necessary, and continue the calling already received, her family and the church.
Resume:
1. A church planter's wife must be just as committed to church planting as her husband.
2. Her role of wife and mother are her first priority.
3. Emotional stability needs to be cultivated as much as possible. (really? :)
4. The church planter's wife needs to be a model for others. (ouch, this one's hard)
5. Organization is to be sought at all costs. ( AMEN!!!)
6. Her resource is in Jesus Christ and His Word alone.
