“Trophy Wives”
Why?
My passion for the Coach’s wife came from my own personal experiences being a part of a coaches family all my life, first as a coaches daughter and now as a coach’s wife. God laid it on my heart to call this ministry for women: Trophy Wives (not my first choice:)).
He showed me what it meant to be a Trophy wife, not as the world would see, but as the Creator of the Universe sees it.The Trophy: the most prized and coveted possession of a coach or player of sports. Although we are not called to be a possession, by any means, we are called to be someone our husband cherishes, adores, and pursues.
Proverbs 31 is best known for the Proverbs 31 woman: the woman that every Christian woman wants to attain. I believe the Proverbs 31 woman showed me we are more than a trophy, we are wives.
Proverbs 31:10-12 says, "A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies (or trophies:)) Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. She brings him good and not harm, all the days of her life."
This wife, scripture talks about, has character, integrity, strength, and is worth more to her husband than any trophy. You are more than a trophy, you are a wife! I want to challenge and encourage other coaches wives on this journey of being part of a coach’s family!
What?
First, I have an email devotional that I send out each Monday. If you would like to be added to this list just email me at sroberts@fca.org.
Second, I have a blog for the coach’s wife called “Trophy Wives.” You can go to www.fcatrophywife.blogspot.com for more devotions and encouragement.
Third, We have started “Trophy Wives” huddles. This is where you get a group of coach’s wives together and have devotion time with discussion questions and above all pray for your husbands :-) I will send you the devotions and questions to help get you started. If you are interested in starting a Trophy Wives huddle just email me at sroberts@fca.org.
Fourth, We are in the process of putting together a state-wide coach’s wives event that will include speakers, music, and a lot of fun girl time :-) Stay tuned!!!
God Bless!
