We the women called by God to feed the sheep. We also are the caretakers for our spouses, children and parents. Just because we hold the position as pastor or minister we are not removed from being caretakers to our family.
Typically we as women will put ourselves last so we can run ourselves in the ground caring for others first. There comes a time when we need to make ourselves a priority. We need an outlet to just be real with ourselves and others sisters in ministry.
It still amaze me that some brothers still expect us to run the entire household when we come home from a long day at church dealing with financial issues, martial and relationship issues, staff issues and congregation care. I noticed many of the brothers who are in ministry may not lift a finger to do a thing knowing their spouse works outside the home. There needs to be a balance when both work outside the home.
When we are the caregivers let us share the responsibility with others so we do not burn ourselves out or unable to provide the accurate care needed. Rethink caregiving and what can be done to change the perception that only woman can be the best caregiver.
