Know that God has wrapped His arms around you, though you may not be able to feel them. Know that you are not alone.<br /><br />I strongly suggest getting in touch with Ministering to Ministers - http://www.mtmfoundation.org/ - going through a retreat with them last summer was a huge help to Shari & I as we made the decision to step out of full-time vocational ministry.<br /><br />And, yes, I plan to write more about that decision & transition in the coming months.Mark (aka pastor guy)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12920114022832644455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12366201.post-83020113241736784752014-01-06T18:57:39.988-08:002014-01-06T18:57:39.988-08:00Pastor's wife: cold feet

My husband tried to be the spiritual leader and that didn't go over so well. The Deacons ask him to resign one week before Christmas with no notice and no severance pay. oh, and get this.<br />My boss is one of the charter members of the church. Needless to say, I get treated like a red headed step child at work....<br />Please pray for us......Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12366201.post-75932011004180356042013-07-25T18:27:18.449-07:002013-07-25T18:27:18.449-07:00Not settled... wife is having very tough time w/co...Not settled... wife is having very tough time w/contemplating me going back to being a lead pastor.<br /><br />Please keep praying.Mark (aka pastor guy)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12920114022832644455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12366201.post-80470874587253723802013-07-25T15:45:32.365-07:002013-07-25T15:45:32.365-07:00It's been a few months.
