Full of faith.
Full of fear.
Exhilarated.
Exhausted.
Bold.
Insecure.
Excited.
Discouraged.
All of these, sometimes all at the same time.
I know the ups and downs of church planting because I too am a church planter's wife. I too am trying to walk this road well. And I write about it here on my blog, not only to remind myself of truth and grace, but also so that women like you have a place where your soul can breathe in deep.
That's also why I wrote The Church Planting Wife: Help and Hope for Her Heart, a book that speaks to the very heart of all that we experience. (Read more about the book or read an excerpt. )Full of interviews with church planting wives, stories from my own life, and biblical wisdom, the book offers hope in the midst of this crazy adventure called church planting. The book is available on Amazon, Christianbook.com, and Barnes & Noble.
In the meantime, following are some posts that other church planting wives have found helpful and may be a good place to start.
