Oh, Lord, what have we gotten ourselves into? This thought travels through my head on a regular basis. Every time I say yes to something and I’m pressed for time. When one of my children or my husband has come up with another harebrained scheme that I find I cannot say no to. But the […]
The Lord shows us new things even as we get older. I’m learning new ways to pray, new depths of communion with the Lord, and new ways to worship Him. After years of being a pastor’s wife I’ve learned to be able to pray for anyone and everyone and even their cousin. I’ve prayed for […]
Colossians 3:23-24 Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ. I’ve needed to hear this recently, so I’m going to go ahead and assume someone else in our readership does as […]
I am sitting here on an extroverted high with a bit of introverted exhaustion after a week at RHMA’s Small-Town Pastors’ Conference.

How can someone […]
Psalm 5 11But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them ever sing for joy, and spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may exult in you. 12 For you bless the righteous, O Lord; you cover him with favor as with a shield. I am a romantic. I’m […]
I’m not sure when I began doing this, but I often find myself in town with a few minutes between appointments or before needing to pick up the kids from school. Enough time to want to be productive, but not enough time to head home, unbuckle a toddler or two, and then get them back […]
This is part two of following along as my family traveled part of Europe during our sabbatical in the summer of 2019. You can read Part One here.
Here at Flowers for the Pastor’s Wife we schedule pieces in advance, making the calendar a year at a time. When this topic was put on the calendar the world was a different place and now it feels incredibly indulgent to write a piece on my journey last summer through Europe. But our God is […]
