I want to live a God-honoring life. I want to be a good wife to my husband and a good mother to my kids. But I can't get past the fact that God gave me a brain and a soul. I know that He created me for a purpose, and I know that being a mother is only one facet of that purpose.<BR/><BR/>Thank y'all so much for commenting.

I don't...what a beautiful, thought-provoking post. I don't know how to reconcile this one, josie. i suppose i fall on the more liberal side of feminism, and i struggle with biblical passages that seem to contradict my view of women and our place in the family and the world. keep us thinking!Stacy Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16478915913653072680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32354053.post-72855429643004725232008-02-03T16:32:00.000-05:002008-02-03T16:32:00.000-05:00Okay Josie...I myself have a very Feminist streak,...Okay Josie...I myself have a very Feminist streak, however, I am a walking oxymoron. I also have a old-fashioned view of wife and mother. I am also however in the same boat as you are...I am going to raise Emma Claire and Isaac as equals. I have it a little easier than you I guess because they are closer in age, but MY goal is to raise them as Independent, Decision making people. Then they will not let their voices get stiffled and She will not allow a Man to rule her!!! That is how I was raised and I am very outspoken and my marriage is similar to yours, except NO WORKY FOR ME!!! By all means let Cathryn be a princess, but also let her know that she has a brain and TEACH HER HOW TO USE IT!!! Love Ya, LeslieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
