From The Heart Of Pastors

Having lived the majority of my life in the home of pastors, I have seen the need for Pastors to share, as well as others to better understand our hearts and lives. I grew up as a pastor's kid (PK) and after graduating Bible College my husband and I took our first church when I was quite young. Come on in, make yourself comfortable, may the Lord bless and comfort you during this time (and always).

IN THE BEGINNING

IN THE BEGINNING
by Daneille Gray Snowden  
 
My cloudy mind floats back 26 years ago, when my husband and I were filled with the readiness to not step; but JUMP into the vast wide open field of Pastoring!  But, wait---NO Sir or Ma'am: it wasn't 'MY' dream or a 'CALL'. But, it was an open door that LED the two of us into an occupation I truly thought I would never  do.

Why? I will tell you, I told God I would go anywhere, and do anything BUT: ...(you guessed it) PASTOR! Reason, I was a pastor's kid and though my parents were GREAT at it; it still had no appeal to me.  

My husband Brad and I, began our ministry in the inner city of Indianapolis, which was AWESOME! We then moved into working with children, onto youth and eventually as evangelism pastors. Then, the fateful reckoning came when a friend called and asked if we would consider moving to Texas to Pastor a small church. That was when our lives took a turn onto a journey of winding roads, up hill climbs and down hill rolls!

  I want to use this blog as a safe place for Pastor's, especially their wives. There are a few places on the internet, to find simple encouragement.
I want to add one more. Being there countless times, has speared me to be this avenue for all Pastors, their wives and yes: their children.

 With my experience as a pastor's kid and having three children of our own; we all will contribute helps, comfort and stories with you. If you are one that would like to share your story, or ask a question; (contact us at SnowDen with the Fam' FB site) telling of your life in the home of a Pastor.

Meanwhile;  dearest Pastor & Pastor's Wife - know you are loved, appreciated and prayed for! That Your Heavenly Father is very pleased with your service to His Children. Hold on to this precious calling on your life; there is a shaking going on in the world today. People all around us need strong, godly leadership to be the support to thrust them to the Finish Line!




 
Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

I Tim. 6:12
