Topics I know that people struggle with and I'd love to put my arm around them (in a bloggy sort of way) and help them through
Issues in life that I know people are dealing with that I'd love to come alongside them (through blogland) and help them cope
Through God's Word and through what God has taught me or is currently teaching me.
But really?! Scary territory.
I'm no expert and I would never want to come across as one.
The only thing I'm really known for in my ministry style is
my transparency.
Like.....how many times was I told in the 7 years Justin was in the pastorate
"You do NOT seem like a pastors wife!"
What exactly did they mean by that, anyway? lol. I never spent much time thinking about it....
But it was really music to my ears everytime.
Because I'm pretty sure what they meant by that, by the context in which it was said....
Was that I didn't come across as perfect
and that I really helped them bring me off that pedastal so many people put pastors and their fams on by taking myself right on off and being
REAL
Any thoughts on this concept in our reaching out to others?!
Being REAL
Transparent, even
So as to help people in their real struggles of life
With the goal of pointing them to Jesus
