I know of a few wives that are not involved more than the average attender and that bothers me…but I also remind myself that I don't always know what she may be involved in outside of the church that ministers to others.

I do feel called to be a part of youth ministry but like you, I've served in other areas depending on my season of life. I feel it is important to have a ministry of my own, meaning if God calls me to serve outside of where my husband is serving, I should be obedient to God first. I'm so thankful that Mike is encouraging in that and understands that I may not always serve in the same capacity as I have in the past. After having our first child, my involvement did not change much but with the second, it was tough to keep up. I struggled with not being a part of his ministry at the same level as before and am finally at a place that I can accept not being as involved. When we were dating, engaged, and newly married without kids, it was so easy to be involved. But life changes and God uses us in different ways!Mike and Cymbrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13864191956380614904noreply@blogger.com
