This one thing...

The inspiration for this post - especially as the first for this year was from a simple yet profound statement from Pastor Geri Scazzero. Talking to Mrs. Pastors, she said:

"You do not have to have a vision to plant churches, you just need to have a vision (I add, and desire), to love your husband."

I agree(d) whole-heartedly because love is such a powerful force. Now, I do recognize that Mrs. Pastors are at different points on the "How do you feel about being Mrs. Pastor?" spectrum which ranges from "I sure did not bargain for this, I don't want to be a Pastor's wife" to "Praise God! Being married to a Pastor is a prayer answered."  

When you take your eyes off your husband's "position" and focus on one thing - your passion for him, you'll find a deep desire to see and support him succeed in all he lays his hands on. Think about it, it was love for us that made Jesus give up His life* so we could have all good things in life. I pray that you'll join me in renewing our resolve to focus on this one thing...

Happy New Leap Year. May your love for God & for each other grow in leaps & bounds.

AMEN!
