Just Something I Noticed

*clears her throat*
Pardon the scratch in my voice, but I decided that I noticed something today and it couldn't wait until tomorrow when I'm feeling better.
We take pride in our labels, don't we? We hold tight to them as though they are our Savior. As though if we let them go for a second the world will stop. One thing that I really noticed today was this throwing around of "I'm a Pastor", "I'm a Preacher's Wife", "Cool Preacher, Am I", ect. Now it would be fine if these were being used as in "I work at B Church, as a Pastor", ect. But the references I have seen them used today has been out pissing on territory and making sure Christian people around know what title "so-and-so" holds. I remember being that way. I remember wanting to be apart of the cool crowd, "The Pastor's Wives", it seemed so cool, so SPIRITUAL. Since this is my thing, being spiritual I mean, it was easy to want that title, it meant in my "circle" I would be held in higher regard. Pretty simple.
I wonder now, now that I have entered into a different phase, if there is room for titles and labels. I wonder if this is what makes me struggle with the definition of "women in ministry". There is apart of me that doesn't want to shift the bible to my liking and I can't deny it does speak of Elders and Deacons in a formal role, but I hate the superiority that comes seething through when someone gets the title and what the church does to it. Today I saw it every where and it honestly made me want to hit someone. YIKES, it must be because I'm not feeling well. ;) Anyway, I'm getting ready to go on a rant that leads to no where.
To end, I just wonder what God really means with some of the titles/labels He has given us. I don't think He is saddened as I would be, but I wonder in His powerful mind if He is angry that we have messed it up so much.
