Wow! Spring is over and Summer is just beginning,.........finally! With the end of Spring comes school breaks and grads. Last week I was looking at the local newspaper at the 2014 High School grads from near by towns in my area. As I read, I couldn't help but notice that all the girls were planning on going into the workforce or to university this Fall to study business, science, nursing, etc.
I was starting to get a little discouraged and this thought was running through my mind,''What's the reason I'm staying home again? Why didn't I go to university when I graduated?'' And then I came to a girl who's future plans was to become a stay-at-home Mom and take some future education! Then I remembered. God's call for me was to stay home to prepare myself and learn how to be a Biblical Homemaker. I was absolutely thrilled! I could hardly believe it! This young lady was so bold to put her life's dream into the paper! I was so excited for her and myself when I realized that being a stay-at-home Mom is the best job out there. It was such an encouragement to know that I wasn't the only one, as it feels like that sometimes.
I just thought that I'd send that encouragement to you fellow stay-at-home daughters. Our hearts' desire and dream to be that godly, Proverbs 31 and Titus 2, woman, is so big that there is no university out there that can help, teach, and encourage us to keep going. Sadly, today's society doesn't think so. They brain wash all the young ladies that we HAVE TO get that job, career, or degree. I'm sorry society, but I decided to stand up to what I know is right and to take the opposite direction to a much more happier and fruitful life!
