The Tigress Wife

         My hubs looks studly in his green polo.  This is one of those undisputed facts than anyone would agree with because it’s just true.  However, he’s  mine and I am his.  I don’t need to parade this possessiveness  around-it’s just something that is usually respected because of our commitment and rings.  Then it happened–some woman was flirting with my husband!!

           She’s an acquaintance of ours-Devin told me that she makes him uncomfortable.  All the wives were talking on one side of the room and this lady gets up and rubs up against my husband!  Devin moved and she did it again!  I became hilarious in my mind.  I was snapping my fingers in attitude and saying things like, “Excuse you! That’s my man!!”  I know how much I love my husband but I’ve never channelled my inner Jerry Springer before.  I think it’s good to know I have fire in my engine for my man and I gave him a huge smooch right in front of the whole group.  I am a tigress.  He’s mine!

My Precious Ford

Every night we pray with Ford and he prays after we say a phrase. Now he prays on his own without prompting from us and he lists all the things he is thankful for. Thank you for “Lightning McQueen”, “Chick Hicks”, and my bear. He also prays for the missionaries in the Carribean region from cards we got at the general assembly in the Church of the Nazarene. Tonight, he remembered all of the missionaries’ names and their countries without any prompting from us. As I go to sleep tonight, I will hear his sweet little voice saying. . .”Dear Jesus, Please help Ronnie Pupo in Cuba in the Church of the Nazarene”

Why I am starting a blog

                 For me-journaling is like drinking my perfectly brewed coffee in the morning: it is essential.  I am a mother of two boys under three and a senior co-pastor at a church (where I work with the other pastor, my husband).  My journaling has almost completely stopped because I’ve been folding laundry or visiting someone at the hospital.  What if I have no record of this part of my life?  How will anyone ever make a complete movie about me?  I will blog.

             OK-all of that isn’t exactly true.  I saw Julie and Julia 2 times and was inspired to start writing.  My goal is to write on this blog EVERY SINGLE DAY for this year.  I know I will be a better mom, wife, and pastor. I hope?
