I see the heart of this post. Although I do not know much about the story that stemmed the post, I hope we can all agree that we are not to live in fear or act out of fear. If women choose this route and can say it is not fear based, but out of prayer, wisdom & knowledge, are we to tell them "It is out of fear!"? Our culture is all about fear. It tells people to plan their retirement, to get health screenings, to take mind altering drugs, to do many things that cause issues while trying to prevent other issues. We focus on entertainment and distraction to live more comfortably, all through fear. It is a cultural issue as a whole, one which believers in God have no place because of the truths in the Bible. I think that is the heart, live in freedom, not in fear. :)
I would love to win this book! I have been playing with the idea of making our own bathroom and beauty products. This just might help me make it a reality. Thanks!
I found your blog through the Raising Homemakers link-up, and I want you to know that I have gone through many of your posts and am glad to have read them. I am looking forward to reading more.
I have dealt with people wondering why I dress my 17 month old the way I do (body swim suit, etc) because she is "just a baby" and "it's not a big deal". I've come to the belief that if it is modeled and normal from a young age there will be no different thought when she is older. I would rather that than when she is 12 have to get her a new wardrobe and her be confused or frustrated at the "change". So, I agree with you! :)
The Mr & Mrs mugs are so cute... and I also like the "Beloved" necklace. :)
I totally agree! With all of the rough spots on the internet, it is nice to have a few safe havens to enjoy! I can see where you have come to this and it definitely makes me feel welcome.
