My Moment of Silence

During this moment of silence here at Words Cafe, check out Susanne, a Church Planter's Wife and a great blogger, who has some notes from a church planter's conference just for WIVES.  These ideas and practices have led to me to think long and hard about this calling that comes about, being married to the man.  I'm soul-searching, pruning and pouring over Words that will fill me up, replenish and refill, hoping to receive new eyes to see this life purpose I've been given.  It honestly stinks being the pastor's wife and I say that while firmly entrenched in the discontent I've been wallowing in for the past few weeks.  God is good though, and He is gently reminding me of who I am and how He intends to change me from the inside out. 
 Books on my shelf to pack for Spring Break: 
  • Freedom of Simplicity by Richard Foster
  • Cultivating Contentment, a Women of Faith study
  • Jesus, the One and Only by Beth Moore
  • Come Thirsty by Max Lucado
  • Restore My Soul by Jennifer Kennedy Dean
  • And of Course, My Inductive Study Bible with the pretty pink cover that I adore
Please pray for me.  I'm not afraid to ask, because I know I need it.  I have a lot of bitterness left in me from way back to my PK days, and Satan likes to use it on me, and lately I've been stupid enough to let him.
