Mary Pride’s The Way Home was a book I read almost 4 years ago when I first came home too! It rocked my world! Pride is so frank and “to the point!” It was just what I needed at the time! It really opened my eyes to the fact that alot of my issues stemmed from feminist perspectives that were so ingrained in me, I didn’t realize they were there.

Once I realized that, I was able to ask “Hey, what is God’s will for my life and a wife and mother?” At that point, I began a journey of renewing my mind and really walking in God’s will for me.

“OK, so you get to the point where you no longer feel like a stupid, deficient, worthless freak, but you still feel like you don’t know what you’re doing…Nowhere was this more true in my life than in the area of cooking. When I got married, I did NOT know how to cook.”

Amen, sister! You’ve articulated my feelings exactly. I have to remember all of these homemaking skills are learned skills that won’t come to me overnight!

“Don’t give up in despair.” I’ll have to work on that one. I will say all the books (you’ve recommended) and blogs I’ve been reading have been a tremendous encouragement. I have to remember, too, that we’re all in a spiritual battle with an unseen enemy that wants to destroy anything in our lives that honors God. It’s exciting to think of the generation of children that we faithful homeschool moms (and dads) are raising, and God may do some mighty work in America with all these little people being discipled by us.
