SHARING A BLOG FOR WOMEN

I came across this blog at a most amazing time as my husband and I were just talking about how I rejected the feminist movement very young after being told I was setting the "women's movement" back 100 years because I chose to be a stay-at-home mom as it would have cost more than I could reasonably earn for daycare for 3 small children.  I can't imagine what it costs today.  However, that was never my reason (though it did contribute some) but I've always been more old-fashioned and traditional.  Even though I was not living the life Christ wanted me to, I still believed His Word was my lifeline and how I should strive to live.  I felt it was my responsibility to raise the children God gave me.  I even raised them in church but it was a very oppressive and very legalistic.  Girls had to take classes on how to be subservient to their husbands.  If you read the warnings by the Apostle Paul on marriage, he is actually much more harsh on the husbands than the wives.  After being told that though, I said "I thought it was about MY choice to choose what was right for me."  I knew then it wasn't about equality (which I am 100% for and it's not unscriptural), especially in the workplace.  However, what about women today like me who do want to stay home because I'd never go back and change the choice I made.  I got to see all of their firsts.  My best friend lived with us and helped out for a long time to which I thank God for but I was home, except for the few times when I'd work a temp job if our budget required it.  So I'm sharing this blog for those who face this choice and decide to be a stay-at-home mom or even, as the feminists would say, "just a housewife," you do have support.  Not every woman bought into that family destroying agenda.  Children need their parents, be it mom or dad to be there and the real truth is, they need both to be strong, courageous and passionately in love with each other but first with our Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus.  I pray this blog helps.  God bless you all.
