Being the Wife of the Big Fish

Lenny and I have been married for a little over two years. We are a blended family--when I say that I mean, he had kids, I had kids, now we have five altogether. I was single for about 7 years before we married, and it was hard. I was so happy when God finally gave me a husband. I shoud say, I was so happy when I finally realized exactly who it was that God had put in my path several years before when I met Lenny.

People have said to me (of becoming a pastor's wife)--"I'm worried about you. People are always watching what you are doing. Looking for failures." If you watch long enough, you'll see one, that's for sure. If you look to me to find the ideal woman, you won't. If you look here for the gentle, calm, industrious, strategic, smart, and perfect woman to which you will compare yourself (or to which husbands would compare their wives)--STOP NOW, because you won't find her here. Though on my good days I am some of those things, I am never all of them.

I guess my point is--expect me--like every other human being on the planet to not be perfect. I am not Jesus. Also, this may come as a shock to you, but I did not marry Jesus either. I guess like everyone else out there, I sort of expected Lenny to be, well, perfect.

Anyway--your Pastor and his wife, are human! We have problems and issues too. And also, just like you, we have the infinite power of God at our disposal to tackle them and wrestle them into submission.
