What Kind of Day?

I have been a Pastor's wife for many years, and have enjoyed it very much. There were the normal days of taking care of the needs of the church, or phone calls that came in or I needed to make, and usually something to do for the church. All of which was enjoyable. Then, there were the days that you wish would never happen, because someone had a problem too big for them to solve by themselves, and our hearts would ache watching them struggle with "life" and we felt so incapable of "helping" them. Those were the times we just had to "be there". Pastoring, loving people, and being loved by people has been a JOY that only a Pastor and his wife can know. I didn't know how I was going to feel once we resigned our wonderful church, and didn't really know what to expect. I can definitely say..... my life is changing!

It feels strange at times not having a church to "care" for. I find myself wondering how the saints are doing, yet know there is nothing I can do for them now, except pray. (which I have done) I find myself thinking about things I could do if I was at "home", but.....I AM at "home". I find myself wanting to be at church in "my church", but I no longer have "my church". It's just a crazy, mixed up world for me right now, but I am fine! :) How can I say "I'm fine" with all that is happening in my life? Because, I know God has called us to do what we're doing. There is NO DOUBT in my mind that what we have been asked to do in serving the wonderful Texas District, is the "will of God". There is a peace in knowing HE picked us up and moved us to where HE wanted us to be! So, I may sound a little "mixed up" at times...when I write, or there might be a tear-drop that falls, but I really am doing fine.

Today, I've had a "busy, yet quiet day"...... I've been BUSY preparing to speak at a Ladies Tea at The Apostolic Church in Beaumont, and I had to find my way around town to do a little "shopping". I was BUSY "checking on my husband" to see if he was ready to go eat :) I was BUSY "talking" to the office staff for a few minutes. I was also BUSY "visiting" with the realtor I will use when I buy a house. I really liked her and she showed me a home I would like to have. My "BUSY-ness" today has been nice, because it pretty much was a "stress-free, day". That's the reason I can call my day a "BUSY.....Yet Quiet Day".
