Yesterday, someone introduced me and said "this is our church secretary", it happens quite frequently, and almost every time, I cringe. I don't blame anyone who does this, it's perfectly natural, it's my problem. I don't know why but somehow I feel it's derogatory, maybe it's because of the pay or the difficulties of the job, or because I've felt "less than", or maybe because people run the other way or don't make direct eye contact when they see me approaching them because they just know I'm going to ask them to serve somewhere.
But I don't want to be defined as the church secretary. Now, don't get me wrong, I really love my job...most days ;) I love serving my Pastors and my church family...all of them. I am not just a church secretary. I am a wife, mother, musician, a friend, a missionary, and most importantly a child of the King. I need to remind myself that Jesus being mine and me His, is the best definition of who I am and that's all that matters.
