God works in mysterious ways! He does the opposite of what we want, and yet as we yield to His ways, He turns that situation around to help us to line up with His will, and eventually even be happy about it! He truly IS a miracle worker!
Lois Evans “readily admits that her initial years as first lady of the church she founded with her husband, Tony Evans, were two of the most difficult seasons she’s live through. To Lois Evans, the senior Pastor’s wife was a very isolated, much unappreciated role; a stifling position that a loving supportive wife accepted as her lot, even as she mourned the slow death of her own gifts and talents. ”
It was something she never wanted for her life and she told the Lord just that! “At the age of 15 she told the Lord her heart was open to do whatever her to do—except be a pastor’s wife.”
And yet, that’s exactly what happened! She eventually became a senior pastor’s wife, even though her husband Tony, had told her at the beginning or their lives together that he wasn’t interested in being a pastor.
But through a turn of events, the Lord eventually helped her to do what she needed to do through those first years and then brought her to a time in life where she was able to bloom where she was planted.

Thanks for the article. My husband is an associate and I hope senior pastor is not in our future. I tell God and others I’m not pastor’s wife material
He’d be great but then there’s his wife. I’m not saying this in a demeaning way toward myself. I’m just a bit too feisty and mischievous. People really think I have an extra serving of grace and that my husband is a somehow different. We both struggle and we struggle with each other. Sometimes I feel like I just want to come up for a breath of fresh air. Thanks Lori Evans for being willing to state what we all share… it is difficult and we have to walk through it with God, alone.
