a new and improved PW
>> January 1, 2010
Happy New Year Ladies,
The decade has closed. A new one is only hours old. You've probably been thinking about new year's resolutions and goals for your family, spirituality, finances, health....but have you thought about how you'd like to improve in your role as pastor's wife? What old thoughts and attitudes are worth leaving in 2009? What new and exciting Kingdom-building things are on the horizon for you?
Whether you believe it or not, God made you to partner with your husband in ministry. He made you and has equipped you for this moment. How will you walk in that truth in 2010?
C'mon, tell me. I wanna know. Do your resolutions/goals/plans (whatever you want to call them) include improvements in your PW role? How?
I'll put my PW-related resolution in the comments.

One of my goals for this year includes being more strategic about how I contribute to Clutch... meaning, I want to help you in very concrete ways develop into the PW that God intended for you to be... and in the meantime help myself, of course. :) PW School will be in session soon!
I want to start at least one local womens small group in our new district here. One at church for sure, and maybe one in our new neighborhood as well.
It's been just over a year of being an offical pastor's wife. 6 weeks after my PH started at our church our first child was born. Last New Year's he said "I need to make time so that you can take time to study the Bible". In trying to still figure everything out, it never really happened. This year, I'm going to a Bible study and he's staying home with our son. In sum, I think the best thing I can do is keep my own faith in check and pray that that will overflow to everyone around me.
I'm late in commenting, and I didn't really make resolutions as much as "growth" statements. My husband and I compliment each other in ministry and marriage remarkably well, but I know that God expects more. I plan, this year, to reach out to the women in our congregation through fellowship and study. I also plan to ramp up my efforts for our children's department. Our church for the first time in years (we've been there one year) started actually doing something in the way of ministry in our community, and I plan to expand that.
