The World Says: Children are a Burden!

I always find it interesting when I go out with my son. I can’t walk with him for longer than 5 minutes before he is complimented for how cute he is and I’m asked how’s it feel to be a mom. When

I was pregnant, there was no shortage of awe from strangers and family members that I was growing a tiny human in my womb. We wondered about what sex he would be, how he would look, what he

would sound like, and what his personality would be like.

So how do we jump from being in awe at the pending arrival of a baby to the “My Body, My Choice”

mentality?

What's She Been Up To?

It’s been more than a year since my last (and first) post on this blog. I had such high hopes of posting weekly, biblical truths regarding womanhood, feminism, and juggling life as a working wife, but life got ahead of me.

To be honest, spending more than a year sitting on this blog made me think a lot about the purpose of this blog. More on that later.

Biblical Womanhood: Pursuing Christ-Likeness

In two weeks I'll be going back to work, full-time, outside of the home. It's something I've been dreading ever since I quit my job last year as a teacher at a busy charter school. I was newly married and experienced the impossible dynamic of fulfilling job demands while managing the home. While I succeeded at one, the other would suffer and I was perpetually stressed.  Staying home seemed to be the answer, and made me feel like I was truly pursuing biblical womanhood. As a former feminist, working outside of the home reminds me of my old pursuits when I glorified my fleshly desires. I actively pursued everything against the Lord's will.
