I was blessed to be born into a family full of pastors, most of whom were Baptist preachers. This has been normal for me my entire life. I have been related to Baptist preachers in just about every familial relationship possible.
When I was born, I was born to the titles of;
The Preacher's great grand daughter
The Preacher's grand daughter
The Preacher's niece.
The Preacher's cousin.
Upon my father's ordination, I also became,
The Preacher's daughter.
Later when I married, I gained the titles,
The Preacher's wife
The Preacher's sister-in-law.
When my daughter married , I became,
The Preacher's mother-in-law.
My son is not ordained yet, but he is already preaching, so I am also now,
The Preacher's mother.
I have several nephews also in school who are preparing for the ministry and so I have become,
The Preacher's aunt.
However, since we are independent Baptist, the one title I will never have is,
THE PREACHER!
Which probably explains why I have this blog...
