Preacher’s Wife Teaching Life

I often get asked if I like being a preacher’s wife and what it’s like to be in that role. Depending on who’s asking, I’ll answer with “it’s fun,” or a more detailed description of what it’s really like. I find it difficult to put my finger on exactly what life is like in this role because I grew up in a preacher’s home. Being in a preacher’s family is part of who I am, so I feel like I live in this role naturally. Even though I thought I never wanted to marry a preacher, I can see God’s plans were perfect for me. Like I said, I grew up in a preacher’s home, so I’m well aware of the politics that go along with the job. I’m used to the spotlight, being watched and being criticized…it’s part of how I grew up and part of my current profession (teaching). I know God prepared me for my role as a preacher’s wife, and I know he protects me from a lot. Today, I’m sharing the pros and cons of being a preacher’s wife.For every pro there seems to be a con that follows. However, the fir...

It’s my passion to share the word of God to anyone willing to listen. From the conception of this website, I’ve tried to focus on the teaching stand point of sharing how God can be present in YOUR life. After a couple months of barely posting, mostly praying and trying to catch up, I’ve decided to write the blog from a more personal stand point of what God is doing in my life: the “preacher’s wife” portion of who I am. I am a full-time preacher’s wife and teacher; however, my employment as a teacher is only part-time. I consider myself a full-time teacher because it is a major part of my gift package from God. Even when I wasn’t teaching anywhere, I found myself seeking people out to help, tutor or guide. It is part of who I am and a passion I can’t ignore. Learning new strategies for the classroom An outlet for my passion of teaching is to work as a developmental math teacher for a junior college. What is developmental math, you say? It’s the class students take when the...

I’m writing this post to offer you a sneak peek into a pastor and his wife’s life. There’s not exactly a job description lined out or a person that my husband has to answer daily like a normal boss so figuring a daily agenda out takes prayer and a little trial and error. I have to admit, at first we had no idea what we were supposed to be doing on a daily basis. And I have to admit that even now sometimes we wonder what we should be doing or if we should be doing more. Making a video together for my Facebook page. As part of my calling, I’m very involved in my husband’s ministry. We act as one unit and most people are not used to that because typically, the pastor acts as a single unit that takes care of all his duties alone. In our case, we are called to work together and we do that the best we know how as a single organism with one mind and shared heart. Our uniqueness and oneness often times puts us in a box all by ourselves but we have each other and have become stro...
