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.

Michael certainly out-kicked his coverage with you Cherise!! Hope you guys are doing well...we love you!
thanks for sharing cherise! you seem to be doing a wonderful job of putting your family first and supporting michael and what God's calling you BOTH to do. :)
Hey Cherise! You totally meet the requirements! I love the fact that you are honest and to the point, but also compassionate when dealing with yourself and others. What a great task the Lord has called you to. I'm always challenged by your pursuit to love the Lord more, rely on him more and follow him more closely. Definitely an example I want to follow! Love ya and miss you, Missy
