Since I am sure the information is limited, it may be to early to ask but would such a job for Marc mean ya'll could plant somewhere or would you still be seeing the world? Maybe you would even end up in D.C. Well, I had better stop before my imagination runs away with me. <BR/><BR/>Ya'll have a blessed day and enjoy being a wife and mother. Your husband and children are blessed.<BR/><BR/>LukeLukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14616108342223765777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3383690571876717897.post-54985571270894759092007-06-05T05:54:00.000-05:002007-06-05T05:54:00.000-05:00I think that was Satan's intent when the feminist ...I think that was Satan's intent when the feminist movement came about and it worked! I know God knew what He was doing when I was so indecisive in college as to what to do for a degree. My heart was always to be a wife and mother. Finally I chose Family and Consumer Science and it has served it's purpose well :). I don't regret one minute being a wife and mom. <BR/><BR/>Here is one that I thought you would find interesting. Our washer went out and Marc was working on it but it was late so while I put the kids to bed he went to the laundry mat on base. (He's so wonderful!) Anyway, he was talking to a Master Sgt. there and the MSGT was telling him different jobs to do after CPT Course and he said that there is a thing starting up called Joint something and it is the Army, Navy, Airforce, Marines, etc all working together. He told Marc to work into getting into one of those and then he can get out and work for the Gvt. in a high ranking G level job. Could that be part of the one world gov't the Bible is talking about? Not saying it it but really had us wondering....<BR/><BR/>Heard from Laurie yesterday and she sent pics. :)Blessed mommy and wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07060622517354679150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3383690571876717897.post-72391828176201251302007-06-04T15:40:00.000-05:002007-06-04T15:40:00.000-05:00Kim,You wrote, "but I'm sure somewhere along the l...Kim,<BR/>You wrote,<B> "but I'm sure somewhere along the line something falls through".</B><BR/><BR/>That is ENTIRELY the point. For the wife and mother who is wanting to hear "well done", letting the children raise themselves, letting a culturally fallen daycare raise the children, letting the needs of the husband and children go unmet are not the proper paths to such blessing from the Lord. And by the way, that goes for the husbands/fathers as well. If you are not meeting their needs, I can guarantee you that Satan will put someone in their path who will be more than happy to do that, and the end will be destruction.<BR/><BR/>LukeLukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14616108342223765777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3383690571876717897.post-18993810405888978822007-06-04T14:00:00.000-05:002007-06-04T14:00:00.000-05:00That's pretty much what we were saying.

I had remembered a sermon on this topic you had preached on a Mother's Day and loved it. I wonder how those mom's that work and take care of their husband and little children do it but I'm sure somewhere along the line something falls through.Blessed mommy and wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07060622517354679150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3383690571876717897.post-47442090255226276062007-06-04T13:20:00.000-05:002007-06-04T13:20:00.000-05:00Kim,Okay, now that we are on the same page.

So many times today, from my experience, too many women work outside the home in order to:<BR/>1. Seek their "OWN" career<BR/>2. Pursue the things of the world to the neglect of her children or husband<BR/>3. Work outside the home just because they think "home-maker" is too menial.<BR/><BR/>As far as wife/mom stuff not being valuable, you cannot put a price tag on children that are raised to respect others and the possessions of others AND to pursue Jesus and His will for their lives. All too often, women value the world, its possessions, its accolades as something greater than obedience to and finding fulfillment in the things that God would have them do.<BR/><BR/>Feel free to challenge or question me if I have not answered you clearly enough.<BR/><BR/>LukeLukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14616108342223765777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3383690571876717897.post-32218583716029407702007-06-04T12:57:00.000-05:002007-06-04T12:57:00.000-05:00OK.

I would like to offer up Proverbs 21:10-EOC. It really does answer your question from my point of view but I am willing to "spell-out" my particular view on this. But I really would like your indulgence to ask you to read the Proverbs passage first, and then let me respond.<BR/><BR/>LukeLukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14616108342223765777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3383690571876717897.post-15608462138798540952007-06-04T06:23:00.000-05:002007-06-04T06:23:00.000-05:00Hi!

Marc and I were actually talking about this yesterday afternoon and then it was in our reading this a.m. Titus 2:5 To be discreet, chaste, "keepers at home", good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. So is it that a wife is not to work if it interferes with her job at home or is it that she shouldn't work at all. Also, Marc and I were talking and it seems that when women went into the workplace that they started this wife/mom stuff isn't valuable or whatever. You know what I'm saying? I hope I am making myself clear. Anyway, what is your take on it?Blessed mommy and wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07060622517354679150noreply@blogger.com
