Thank you so much for linking this article, this is something God has been speaking volumes to me about lately, and this is just one more way in which He has chosen to get my attention.
Good reminder. Thanks so much for sharing it. It's a hard habit to break once a woman gets set in her ways like that. Reminders help us not make it a habit.
Thank you for this article. My husband and I have been complaining for years about the way the media portrays men (as idiots) but it was a good, convicting reminder to look at how I treat MY man. Finding your blog has been like finding an oasis in a desert.

Bless you.
I think a lot of the troubles we face as a society would come to an end if men were allowed to be men. Sounds easy enough, but everytime we turn around, men are treated like toddlers. It is sad.
( Allow? Allow God? Who am I to allow God? ) “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.” Proverbs 3:5, 6 Sometimes people ask me what scripture we base our family size on. I think they expect me to quote verses like "Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth.

Or they expect me to recant how, throughout the Bible, God considers children a blessing to be desired (in the stories of Abraham & Sarah... of Isaac & Rebecca... of Rachel & Leah... of Hannah) But for us it was not only what we found in scripture, but in looking at God'
What if you long for something, but you have a spiritual conviction not to pursue that something... but you see other Christians pursuing it and validating their reasons.... and you feel your reasons look foolish to them, and you feel foolish for standing in what you believe to be true... yet you know you still cannot pursue it, because you have no doubt it is wrong? How does anyone make a stand anymore in this world? There are compromises right and left and people rushing to validate their reasons, and ready to shout "don't you dare judge me!" When I'm not judging, just stating my own stand. If they feel hurt... "socked in the stomach"... isn't it perhaps because the Spirit is convicting them? If there is no truth to my stance, why should it phase them? We are usually hurt most by the truth, when we are not standing in it, but our spirit knows we should be. If someone says "your daughter is a brat" and you know she is not, it doesn'
