About this ebook
One of the most sacred covenants we make before God is the covenant of marriage. That covenant becomes even more sacred when the two are in Christ. How can two walk together except in Christ! I chose to walk with Pastor, my husband, in a life filled with God, but he chose to walk away, and as a Pastor and servant of the Lord, I would never have expected him to make that choice. To leave me, his First Lady!
To First Ladies of the church everywhere, I want you to understand how it happens. I want you to be aware of your relationship with your man of God. The Bible says, a threefold cord is not quickly broken, but Satan is always moving to and fro trying to break the cord. This time he was successful!
God has given me the strength to tell the world my storya story of a broken promise, a covenant made to God, but broken by man, a servant of God. A story I hope that Pastors and First Ladies everywhere will heed. I once was Pastors First Lady, but now I share with you The Diary Of A Pastors Wife!

Introduction
I’m a woman of faith kept by grace.
I’ve come through the storm
but stayed in the race.
I set no other God before me;
I had Jesus in my view.
Many saw me struggle,
but only a few knew.
I was cast down, but not destroyed.
Sometimes perplexed, but not in despair.
For truly God saw me through.
So in this book I share with you,
My Life:
The Diary Of A Pastor’s Wife.
Dedication
This book is dedicated to God, my family, friends and all the Saints that helped me. To all my children, Johnny, Vernell, Sabrina and John. To all my grandchildren, Brittney, Breana, Raquel, Quintarius, John Freeman III, and Shonda Dixions. I hope this book will be inspirational, encouraging and healing to your lives, as it has been a blessing to me writing and sharing some of my life experiences.
This book is also dedicated to every woman who wants inner peace in the midst of a storm. To the woman who just thinks she cannot make it without her husband or ex-husband, the woman who thinks no one cares about her, GOD DOES CARE.
Pastor, my ex-husband was born in Macon, Georgia, July 29, 1946. There he met me, his wife Gloristine and we were married April 8, 1967. The Lord blessed us with three children, Sabrina, Johnny and Vernelle, and three grandchildren. Pastor and I were born again in 1977, where we were faithful members of Faith Temple Holiness Church in Macon, Georgia. Pastor was called by God to preach the gospel to every living creature. Pastor began his ministry on the streets of Macon, bringing souls to Christ. The Lord moved he and I to Atlanta, Georgia, September 1985. Pastor was the founding Pastor of the Church of God, Inc., on November 25, 1984.
In 1985, Pastor and I moved to Atlanta, GA to start a church in our apartment in Clarkston. The church had two members to start off with. When God started blessing us in 1988, the church moved from our apartment to the basement on Cedar Street in Scottsdale. With fifteen faithful members our crusade was moving. The Lord began to increase the membership. So, the Church of God moved to Main Street in Stone Mountain, in 1990 where the Lord continued to bless us. Then the congregation moved with its forty-five members to 319 Aldridge Avenue and the Lord continued to bless us. Finally the congregation moved to Scottsdale, Georgia where we continue blessing God today for our Pastor and First Lady.
January 10, 1996, Pastor served me with divorce papers, and told me that he did not love me anymore. That we could no longer get along. He said, you are supposed to live holy.
He told me you can try and stop this divorce if you want to, but it will not work. I told him, Serve it and watch me try to stop it.
So we began to argue, or if you want to call it that, trying to make things right. In the back of my mind something was not right. I told him it was something deeper than what was going on right now. In fact, I knew it was not the fact that he was not getting along with me, but getting along with someone else (getting along very well with someone else). He told me that it was nothing he had done wrong, and I needed to compose myself or get myself together.
This man wanted me to get myself together, he had just told me he no longer wanted to be with me, how was I suppose to react to such news, but his unrealistic expectation shall continue. He informed me to go to church and tell the congregation that I was sorry for accusing him of having an affair with one of the church members.
