Hello everyone

My life is about to change drastically so I need some advice and encouragement please! My husband was going to enroll for nursing school today but last night he told me that he changed his mind. Instead, he's going to our church (we just became members Sunday) because he's been having thoughts about becoming a pastor. WOW! I never knew this! He said he's been feeling this way since he was 17 (he's now 27). But he's so shy so he pushed the thoughts away. But now they're coming more frequently so he feels he has to act on it.

I am so proud and happy for him and I know now that this is his calling. But I've been a Christian for less than a year now and it's been a good but sometimes rocky experience for me. I have a lot more weaknesses than strengths when it comes to my Christianity. I guess I'm just nervous about how strong I need to be. I try very hard to walk a straight line but always end up going off course. He said that I will have to be right behind him and we will have to change a lot of things. I really want this to happen I just hope I can make him proud! I think this will force me to be a better person. Uggh, I don't know why I feel so nervous! I should just be happy right? Well, I feel better know by just typing this out! But if anyone has some advice for me, I'm sure it would help even more...Thank you.

Hi there! There are a few pastor's wives on this forum so I hope they will stop by and offer their encouragement and some advice from their own experience.
I will say that I am very happy for you both that you have found the Truth and that I hope God blesses you richly! Welcome to CF!

Wow! It sounds like you are going to have an exciting life ahead. You don't have to do it alone. Pray that the Lord will give you the faith and strength to go forward and that He will give you just the right things to be a helpmate to keep your husband strong while you are pulling together towards the light. Being one flesh, you and your husband can accomplish much for the Lord. I'm not a woman, but I can tell you that here is nothing more powerful than a man and wife team complimenting each others talents as they help to lead others in the flock.
You will need other women to support you in prayer, and don't be shy about asking others for their prayers. When you step out for the Lord, you automatically become a target of the enemy, but don't be afraid - you know the Lord will supply all your needs.
I just wanted to encourage you and send my blessings and prayer your way, and I hope some other pastors wives or ladies of faith will get behind you and your husband in prayer and exhortation.
