Did you know we are considered “blessed” when others hate us? Yes, many hate God and His followers. They hate His ways and all those who teach them. As most of you know, I have many who hate me and hate what I teach. They tell me they hate me and write all types of swear words about and to me. They make up fake Instagram and Facebook accounts by stealing my picture, name, and moniker and pretend that I…
Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husbandalso, and he praiseth her. Proverbs 31:28 “Whose testimony is the more considerable, because they have been constant eye-witnesses of her whole conduct, and, therefore, must have seen her misdemeanours, if there had been any, as well as her virtues; and call her blessed – Both for her own excellences, and for many happy fruits which they have gathered from her wise and godly education of them.” (Benson Commentary) Yes, there…
Written by Paul Harvey in 1965 “If I were the devil … If I were the Prince of Darkness, I’d want to engulf the whole world in darkness. And I’d have a third of it’s real estate, and four-fifths of its population, but I wouldn’t be happy until I had seized the ripest apple on the tree – Thee. So I’d set about however necessary to take over the United States. I’d subvert the churches first – I’d begin with…
Last Sunday, our pastor preached about Joseph. He’s my favorite Old Testament character. His faults are never shared and only his strengths. He went through many trials and suffering but we are never told of his complaining and God was with him. He was a wise man. His brothers treated him horribly and sold him into slavery. Then he was put into prison for years for false accusations. His life was terrible! BUT God moved in miraculous ways to use…
My mom was raised during and right after the Great Depression. Foods weren’t sprayed with toxic chemicals back then and the meat and dairy were from animals that ate what God created them to eat and lived how God created them to live (not crammed into small places). She grew up with four sisters and two brothers and my mom was the one who was most health conscious. She mostly ate organic food and was basically healthy all of her…
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…
She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. Proverbs 31:27 “She diligently observes the management of her domestic business, and the whole carriage of her children and servants. Whereby he also intimates, that she spends not her time in gadding abroad to other people’s houses, and in idle discourses about the concerns of other persons, as the manner of many women is, but is wholly intent upon her own house and proper…
People who are blinded to the ways of the Lord have accused me of teaching things that are similar to those in The Handmaid’s Tale. I had never heard of this movie before so I read what it was about on Wikipedia and this is a portion of what it said: “The authorities take Kate to a training facility with several other women, where she and her companions receive training to become Handmaids–concubines for one of the privileged but barren…
“There are so few older, wiser women online and even fewer to be found where I live. I grew up in a very 50s like small town in Alabama where everyone knew everyone. The wives and mothers stayed home while their husbands worked. My own mother worked outside of the home so my sister and I were mostly raised by my grandmother. I watched that dear lady all throughout my childhood. She would wake up ‘in the dark’, as we…
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…
