3. As a ministry wife, I’m playing a specific, scripted role.
It’s suffocating to think that I’m supposed to be doing this ministry wife thing a certain way, but I spent too many years self-suffocating because I was trying to be like the pastor’s wife at the church down the street or the ministry wife down the pew.
I’ve tried on all their personalities, activities and gifts, but, in the end, I’ve discovered it’s freeing and way more fruitful to be who God made me to be rather than a stiff imitation.
