The Real Thing
Do you realize that THIS is your high calling? To love your husband and be a keeper at home IS what God has called you to for this season in your life. There is nothing more important you need to be doing for His kingdom. Serve Him daily by laying your life down for those He has placed in your home. Pursue this diligently! Do not be deceived by the words or ways of this world...Pursue the heart of God and you will find lasting peace, contentment and fulfillment right where He has put you....in your home.
"In the same way, you wives, be submissive to your own husbands so that even if any of them are disobedient to the word, they may be won without a word by the behavior of the wives, as they observe your chaste and respectful behavior." I Peter 3:1
"....teach the younger women to LOVE THEIR HUSBANDS, LOVE THEIR CHILDREN, to be sensible, pure, WORKERS AT HOME, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored." Titus 2:4,5
This IS the real thing...it is not secondary to what God has called you to, it IS what God has called you to.
This IS the fight worth fighting for. Pursue it whole-heartedly my beloved sister!

Hear, hear!!
You are sooooooo right!
I am glad to see you back blogging and want you to know that God has been speaking to me about these same issues. T and I are reading a book called "Rocking the Roles" that is teaching exactly what you have spoken of. We need more teaching like this to encourage each other and those younger women who look to us. (I'm not saying you are old by any means but there is always someone younger. And I am older than you but still look to you as a wonderful example.) Thank you for being so honest and sharing your heart.
