My thoughts for today...
I cannot do it all, and neither can you...
The sooner you realize this the better off you will be..
Learn to micro-manage...It is ok to allow someone else to handle things, even if it's for a little while. Wise leaders learn to delegate...Delegation is key. It is not healthy for you to be over every auxiliary in the church. It is however, mandatory that you raise up ministers and leaders in the church to be over different ministries and auxiliary's.
Free yourself on today from the guilt and stress of having to do it all. Free yourself from other people's expectations of you..., church members, other leaders,etc, will always have their expectations of you, they will be eager to tell you their version of what a First Lady should be...
Let me encourage you....Be You!...do not try to be what others think you should be...
Do not let their molds define you!
If you can't sing, then do not try to lead praise and worship, just because people feel that First Ladies should be able to sing...
If you know you're not a good baker, then do not feel the pressure to bake cakes and bring them to the women's meetings...
If Hospitality is not your strong suit, then don't let others strong arm you into taking that particular ministry on...
Simply put..Do You!..You'll know what that is, it is what comes easy and natural to you...Contrary to popular belief, there are many First Lady's that hold the reigns from the background, lifting up their Men of God, being that shoulder for him to lean on, and being his constant in areas that only they can do....
So there you have it, my thoughts for today...Free Yourself First Lady, do what your Pastor needs for you to do...Pray for Him, the ministry, members, leaders, etc...
Find your niche and park it there...Be confident in what you are bringing to the table, even if that table is hidden in the background....God sees and so does your Man of God...
Be Blessed...
