Truett Wives Club

Yep, that's right. I am an official new member of the Truett Wives Club. My first official meeting was on Monday. I was a little nervous and skeptical going into it, but I ended up loving it. The thing is being a wife of a seminary student is hard, but it is harder being a pastor's wife. The past year in a half I have felt very alone as the wife of a pastor. I would often vent to the youth ministers wife, and that did help. But, on Monday I really felt like these women really understood. (Most of their husbands are pastors in small churches.) It was wonderful. I look forward to having a network of pastor wives that I can call on in ten years and just vent. Someone who knows what it is like to be under a microscope, to have your husband criticized over nothing, to feel trampled on and sometimes to feel just worn out. I hope to make some life long friends with these strong Christian women who just know how it feels. And that can make all the difference in the world.

Robin! That's so fantastic. I know what a relief it must be to have someone who can truly understand what you are going through. So, do you guys, like have an official motto or something? It should be something like....The Turet Wives are oh so wise, they never tell a lie. hahaha..ok, that was cheesy. And yes...come visit! Even if you just want a place to crash while you come hang out in Dallas, visit friends, shop, etc. We are always a good central place. We love having visitors!!!! Just come to come.
