-Be married to a Pastor Yep that is it! I know somebody was expecting more and believe me I have sought God searching for more but when it came down to it, this was it! All that is required to receive the title of First Lady is being married to someone in the ministry. Now for the list of what is NOT required, please see below! WHAT YOU DO NOT HAVE TO HAVE TO BE A FIRST LADY: -makeup -hair -cute clothes -high heels -traditional church suits -big hat -stockings -manicure/pedicure -college degree -business -children -car -house -singing ability -speaking ability -preaching ability -speaking in tongues -a bible -participation in a particular group or club in church -leading a particular group or club in church You starting to catch my drift! Real talk, none of the stuff that society or sometimes the church wants to sell us on, is actually required for holding the title of First Lady. Some women are stressing themselves out, destroying their freedom and self esteem to fit in a box that was never intended for them. We have to break free from the requirements that we allow others to put on us, that bind us to living anything else but our authentic, God purposed selves. We have to trust our Creator and what He has planted in us. I believe when we step out of the boxes that other people have created for us, we can begin to step into the freedom of what God has called us to. Now don't me get wrong, those things listed above are not bad, they just are not required. However, if you want to talk about what is required to be your spouses help meet, to be suitable for him. That is a TOTALLY different conversation/post! Remember, a "help meet" is "a helper suitable for him"! You must seek God and your spouse to find out what you need to be suitable for them and their calling. We are called to help them period ... in and out of season, in and out of the pulpit! We are to help in life! p.s. and no that does not cancel out that you have your own calling too ;) So what you think, do you have what it takes to be a First Lady? #BecomingHISFirstLady
