Life With Jorge

When I picture what life will be like when Jorge comes home, somehow our life turns into old I Love Lucy Episodes.  Only difference is I don't have an Ethel.  I manage to get into trouble all by myself.  LOL  I know Jorge is going to be called into ministry, which scares me because I am not a preacher's wife personality by any means.  I don't know how I know, it's just this feeling in my heart I have of him preaching and sharing his story, the gospel and leading people to Christ.  I just know he is called to preach and teach.  I'll be in the background, slipping out a cuss word or making some other faux pas to embarrass him.  I don't want to be a hinderance to his calling, but I am not sure how I am going to fit in.

Picture a show with a nice, quiet  gentlemanly Preacher going about his work.  His wife on the other hand tries her best to be proper, demure, etc., but never quiet pulls it off.  Kind of like Audrey Hephburn in My Fair Lady, when she goes to the races.  She looked like a lady, walked and talked like a lady till the race started and her real self came out and she screamed at the horse to "get your bloomin arse movin."   Even if I do just smile and say nothing-my skirt would split when I sit down, or I'd be rushing out of the bathroom to get to service & horror of horrors my dress will be stuck in my underwear.  That's the kind of the things that happen to me.  I know Jorge will love me anyways, in spite of my slip ups.  He loves me just the way I am.  His love is 1 of the truest reflections I have of God's love 4 me.  When I see how unconditionally he loves me, I know his love for me is from God cause no human can love so truely, without God.

Thinking about it, maybe the sitcome of our life will give people some chuckles but hopefully it will also demonstrate God's unconditional love for us.  When people get married, often the bible quote read is I Corinthians 13:4-8.  "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. ⁵ It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. ⁶Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. ⁷ It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

 ⁸ Love never fails."    People quote it as an example of how we are to love each other.  However, it is also a picture of how God loves us.  No matter how many times we mess up, he is patient and waits on us to get it right.  He is kind, and there 4 us when we feel everyone else has deserted us.  God's love never fails.  

Maybe that's where I fit in to the big picture of Jorge's ministry, demonstrating God's unconditional love, even for me.  That's a good place to be in.  :)
