As a youth pastor wife, there have only been two promises I have made to young ladies in the youth group.
First Promise and a confession: I think toes are ugly. So, to help them out, I am a proponent of toe rings. I wear four. Two on my left foot and two on my right foot. When students notice them, I tell them that I've been wearing the toe ring since before they were born. And, that if they decide to wear one and still have it on when they are 21 years old, they are to come back to town, find me and I'll take them out to lunch! So far, no one has lasted this long, but I have my hopes up for a few certain girls!
Second Promise: When I hear that a young lady has a desire to become the wife of a youth pastor, I promise to pray for them to have this desire of their heart realized. When God moves the heart of a young lady to ministry, I feel it is a very special time and a unique calling that God only gives to a few. Since being a youth pastor wife requires a youth pastor husband, I promise to pray for her as she lives life and waits to see how God will arrange for the special young man to come across her path.
I've been blessed to see young ladies with this desire meet spouses that have a desire to love and serve the Lord in ministry. I'm currently praying for another young woman and I'm excited to see what God will do!
