Daughters of Feminism Speak Out
“My mother’s feminist principles coloured every aspect of my life.
As a little girl, I wasn’t even allowed to play with dolls or stuffed toys in case they brought out a maternal instinct. It was drummed into me that being a mother, raising children and running a home were a form of slavery. Having a career, traveling the world and being independent were what really mattered according to her.”

Change of Character and Wise Woman Link-up!
It is strange that while praying,
we seldom ask for a change of character,
but always a change of circumstances.

Feminism: Have You Bought the Lie?
Feminism is mixed up with the muddled idea
that women are free when they serve their employers
but slaves when they help their husbands."

Homes are Powerful Places
Homes have been under attack for so long that we have a hard time even imagining how powerful they can be. We think of a “homemaker” as a woman cross stitching something to hang over the potpourri. We imagine domestic arts as something that is limited to people who didn’t pursue a real education. We might feel sheepish telling someone that we “just” stay at home. But that is nothing to be embarrassed about; our work at home means that God's word may not be reviled (Titus 2:5).
Homes are tremendously powerful places, because they are where people come from. There is no more important thing that you could be doing.
You do not go home to hide from the world, you go home to change it.

Excellence is Not Measured by a To-Do List
I often believe my husband has not found an excellent wife. When he tells me I have been short with him lately, overreacting and snapping unnecessarily, I am discouraged at my lack of excellence. Impatience and disrespect have brought embarrassment to him on several occasions.
My task-oriented, performance-driven heart attempts to fix itself by making a list: An excellent wife cooks with organic food (not Velveeta), sews her own clothing (or at least irons her husbands shirts!), speaks only words dripping with grace (and not sarcasm) and reads her Bible for hours on end (okay, minutes?!).
The list brings more condemnation; concrete evidence that I cannot be an excellent wife on my own.
