My worst nightmare has come true. I am now running the women's ministry at our church. After a complete flip-out (all over me, as described in a previous post)... our women's ministry leader quit in a blaze of glory. No one on the planning team feels "called" to lead it- that's such a Christian way to say no, isn't it? Grr.
Why should I be leading it if it isn't my thing? Well, because I'm the pastor's wife, of course. Not that I find myself resenting this or anything... even though I was only begrudgingly a member of the planning team. Even though this really isn't my thing. Even though I have to MAKE myself go to Women of Faith because I don't enjoy it (blasphemy, I know). They get me or nothing, for the time being. Sigh.
All I can say is, I can do this with a smile on my face... all the while praying for God to send the right woman with the right heart. Our women need a continued active and healthy women's ministry- they deserve it. And despite my feelings, I won't let lack of leadership stop that from happening. I will find inspiration, by God's grace.
But I am NOT planning any freaking tea parties.

I literally laughed out loud at this.
The tea thing? How many women out there really like them?
Ive decided that most of us don't like them and just go along to get along on these events.
All I can say is, you go girl!
YES! A kindred spirit who also hates tea parties! I knew I loved you! ;)
