As most of you who read this know...my husband and I started a church a little over a year ago - and what a journey it has been. Wonderful, interesting, and might I add a HUGE learning experience along the way. God has taught me so many lessons already, and I just know that he has many, many more to come. So, while reading posts of other ministry wives, I came along the blog of Lisa, a pastor's wife who lives in the south. She posted a "Scavenger Hunt" of sorts on her site, and I thought I'd kick off my new found commitment to blogging with it.
1. First Name.
Courtney
2. State and Country of Residence.
Texas, the Lone Star State, baby!!
3. Husband’s Ministry Title.
Senior Pastor
4. Length of time in Current Ministry Location. {IMPORTANT: There are several of you who may not be in a current ‘official’ pastorate/ministry, etc. That makes you no less a minister’s wife! You play along, girlfriends, and let us pray for you!}
Almost two years
5. Children? If yes, give gender and ages.
Two boys....2 and 6 weeks. Two of the biggest blessings God has given me!!
6. Number of unique homes in which you’ve lived during your marriage.
None really unique. We did live with my sister in a two bedroom apartment right after we got married. We have been blessed with our own home relatively shortly after that.
7. Cook Sunday lunch or eat out?
Are you kidding?!? Sundays are stressful eventful enough without trying to figure out and cook lunch. We are for sure the eat out Sunday lunch type!!
8. Typically on time for Sunday School or not?
We don't have Sunday School right now. We are a church plant, that is still relatively new. But I am on time for church. Too much to do on Sunday mornings to be late. :)
9. Favorite TV Show.
I must admit that I love Desperate Housewives. I know, I know...not a show I should probably be watching as the pastor's wife, but I find it wonderully entertaining!!
10. Something you watch/like/do that you would never tell the church people. (Except now you just did…lol)
Probably my viewing selection from above!!
11. Most annoying church-related pet peeve.
When people complain about how things are done, or that they aren't done they way they would want it to, yet they don't offer up any suggestions on how to change things.
12. One thing you need to throw away but can’t bring yourself to do it.
Goodness, probably a ton of things....but I can't pinpoint just one!
13. The one food you can not live without.
Sweet tea and peanut butter.
14. Parsonage or have your own home?
We've been blessed to have our own home. Besides, as a church plant, you don't really have the resorces for big item expenses.
15. Freak when the doorbell rings or always ready for a visitor?
Most of the time, I'm always ready for a visitor. And if my house is a bit messy.....I just hope people understand that I have a 2 year old, and a newborn.
I hope this gives a little insight to me, and where I come from. Ya'll have a blessed week!!
