Finding a Way to Come Home Full Time

Finding a Way to Come Home Full Time

Comments 7 comments

Written by Genevieve Greenwood It’s funny how life works out sometimes. I had been in the work force since I was about 12. My first job was babysitting my little cousin full time. Later, fast food then management, then call centers and eventually banking. I had a decent job dealing with credit card identity and transactional fraud. My oldest child has autism, Tourette syndrome, and a host of other medical issues. I’ve always dealt with his medical needs personally, and it…

Women Today Gad About

Do you enjoy being home full time? Some young women get bored being home all day so they find part-time jobs or other ways to fill their days away from home. With all of our modern conveniences, it’s easy to have the time to leave the home and find entertainment elsewhere. Women would rather go out shopping, go to Bible studies, play dates, eating out, and anything but look well to the ways of their household by being keepers at…

Women Aren’t Wired to Be Providers

Women Aren’t Wired to Be Providers

Comments 20 comments

Growing up, I always knew I wanted to just be a wife and mother. I never had any career goals even though we were “supposed” to have them. (Aren’t jobs or careers for men so they can provide for their families?) I had every intention of marrying a man who wanted me to have children and be the one home full time with them. I didn’t ever want to be the bread winner of my future family so I was…

NIV Gives Women an Out for Being Keepers at Home

NIV Gives Women an Out for Being Keepers at Home

Comments 11 comments

Did you know that the NIV doesn’t use the word “keepers at home” in regards to married women’s role? No, they have redefined it as meaning “busy at home.” William Einwechter wrote an incredible article about the evolving quality that this term originally meant to the way it is used today. Many have mocked me for teaching that married woman should be keepers at home but I trust God knows what He meant when He instructed older women to teach…

Hormones Prove Women are to Be Keepers at Home

Hormones Prove Women are to Be Keepers at Home

Comments 9 comments

Since my pituitary is low or non-functioning, I have had to go on hormone replacement therapy. I have been having good results using bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (like finally sleeping a lot better and not nearly as many hot flashes after fifteen years!), so I joined a couple of groups on Facebook that have women taking these types of hormones. The women kept recommending the book What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause by Dr. John Lee. (I highly…

Building Up or Tearing Down Our Homes

Building Up or Tearing Down Our Homes

Comments 7 comments

Every wise woman builds her house: but the foolish plucks it down with her hands. Proverbs 14:1 (Gill’s Exposition of the Entire Bible interpretation of this verse with my additions in parenthesis.) Every wise woman buildeth her house,…. Not only by her fruitfulness, as Leah and Rachel built up the house of Israel (by bearing and raising children); but by her good housewifery (keeping their homes clean and tidy), prudent economy (spending their husband’s money carefully); looking well to the…

Proverbs 31 Woman – The Modern Day Fallacy

Proverbs 31 Woman – The Modern Day Fallacy

Comments 4 comments

Over and over again women use the Proverbs 31 woman to try to convince me that women are allowed to have careers. There is no way this made-up woman in the Bible who represents godliness would leave her children every day for many hours a day for mammon (money). God wants mothers to raise their children. He has made this very clear in His Word. God spoke mostly negatively about money in His Word and positively about children. He loves…

How the Amish Take Care of Their Widows

How the Amish Take Care of Their Widows

Comments 14 comments

As shared on Our Simple Homestead Last week, a young Amish man named Steven Yoder was killed in a mill accident here in New Wilmington, Pa. Steven left behind a wife named Mary, and five children under the age of 13, and one on the way. I asked my Amish friend Teena what would happen to the family. “How will they financially make it, since the Amish do not carry insurance?” Teena answered, “The church will take care of them.”…

Happy In Her Home and With Her Husband

Happy In Her Home and With Her Husband

Comments 4 comments

Written by Bernard O’Reilly in his book The Mirror of True Womanhood What our country, indeed, what every Christians country under the sun, needs most, are these great-souled wives, mothers, and sisters in the dwellings of our over-burdened laborers; women for whom the roof above them and the four walls which inclose their dear ones are the only world they care to know, the little paradise which they set their hearts on making pleasant, sunny, and fragrant for the husband…

God “Calls” Many Women to Work Outside the Home?

God “Calls” Many Women to Work Outside the Home?

Comments 18 comments

There is an article written called Is it Better For Moms to Stay at Home? I enjoyed the article until the author wrote about it being good and fine for mothers to work outside of the home even though she chose to be home with her children because she felt guilty while she was working. She admitted that she was missing too much of their lives. “And God calls many women to work outside the home — even those who…
