The fashions of this world have never been that important to me. I wear very little make up. I don’t have my nails or toenails done. I don’t wear nail polish at all. I cut my own hair. I color it once a month. I wear clothes that are comfortable and modest. I’ve never cared about the fashion of the day. My house is uncluttered and comfortable. Most of our furniture is hand-me-downs from my parents or from Craigslist. Most…
As many of you know, I was extremely ill throughout my children’s childhood with parasites, neck fusion, brain tumor, two brain surgeries, and two intensive rounds of radiation. I had determined while they were young that I wasn’t going to make their lives miserable just because I was miserable. I missed out on many Thanksgiving meals, Christmas celebrations, and Easter dinners with the family, birthday parties, and summer vacations. I had read that self-pity was satanic, so I decided I…
My ministry is in obedience to what God has commanded older women to teach young women in Titus 2:3-5, namely biblical womanhood. I teach them to be sober, chaste, modest, discreet, keepers at home, and good, with meek and quiet spirits. I teach wives to love, submit to, obey, and reverence their husbands, and mothers to love their children. I encourage all women who love the Lord to become the women that He has called us to become with His…
Up until last week, Elizabeth Prata had me on her blog roll of blogs she recommended but a few months ago, she became upset knowing that I believe that older women should only teach young women biblical womanhood per Titus 2:3-5. (I am not exactly sure this is what sparked her fury against me.) She began digging into all of the dirt about me she could find from the trolls and sharing this on my Twitter feed. I tried talking…
From what I have seen, those who are writing critiques of the Anti-Duggar Documentary are either those who didn’t watch the Duggars and don’t know much about them, or those who hate the Duggars and the way they lived, the mockers. I watched every single episode of the Duggars. I loved this show. It was my favorite show on TV. I wish I had their example when I was raising children. They were kind, generous, served in the community, joyful,…
Written By Erin Harrison at The Keeper of the Homestead Blog I am going to promote and remain standing on biblical principles as a beautiful way to raise a family. The world has their own cultish and devilish style of raising the next generation! They want our children from cradle to grave and brainwashed in their institutions starting with day care, pre-k and then kindergarten to 12th grade, then even beyond that. They then lure the children to their “higher”…
The Amazon show “Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets” is a lie, women. The entire agenda is to discredit biblical teaching on God’s authority structure, sexual purity, homeschooling, biblical roles for men and women, protecting children from worldly influences, accepting children as blessings, and disciplining children. They made all of these look wicked and lead to abuse. They also made false accusations against Gothard and the Pearls. They said that they promoted spanking children even when they were adults and…
“And that ye study to be quiet…” (1 Thessalonians 4:11). This verse has convicted me along with the verse about having a meek and quiet spirit which God wants us to adorn ourselves with. I have been pondering these verses a lot recently with all of the controversy swirling around social media. Many young women seem to have no problem calling out and going after pastors (men) on social media. Some respond with cruel accusations. It’s an ugly sight to…
Motherhood is a woman’s highest calling. Yes, we are called to glorify the Lord. What does this mean? It means we are to obey the Lord. What does the Lord call women to do? What is their highest purpose in life? From the beginning, God said it wasn’t good for man to be alone, so He created a help meet (helper suitable) for him (Genesis 2:18). Then, He commanded they be fruitful and multiply (Genesis 1:28). The woman’s curse from…
Like many Christians, I was raised in a lukewarm Christian home. My dad read us Bible stories from some Bible story books once in awhile. I never saw my parents reading their Bibles nor did they ever read it to us. They didn’t talk about the Lord often. They took us faithfully to a lukewarm church. Then I attended a lukewarm Christian college. The OT professor taught us from a book he had written, and he didn’t believe in the…
