'How Are You Doing?'
Becoming A Woman Pastor
"How are you doing?"
"Busy” I say
afraid they'll find
out what I did today.
What I did wasn't bad,
but would it make them happy or
would it make them sad?
Would they approve of my call,
approve of my gift?
Or would they say,
"boy, she's really starting
to drift..."
I want to serve Jesus,
write, pray, and teach
But they'll tell me a woman
isn't allowed to preach.
"Go Home" They'll say,
then laugh, and clap for each other
at the end of the day.
I want to submit,
want to honor my place
Does following my call
really bring disgrace?
I didn't seek this out,
Didn't pursue the stage.
But locking my tongue
feels like locking a cage.
It's all about Jesus
It's about His fame
It's about teaching and speaking
bringing glory to His Name.
"One in Christ." Paul says in Galatians (3:28)
But we limit each other
based on human relations.
About the Creator

I have words written on my heart. It sounds cliché, I know, but I do. After writing for over two decades, I figure it’s about time to send some of these words out into the world. Welcome to my humble beginnings.
