To post or not to post: I should have asked that question...

I truly have three different blog posts bouncing about in this head of mine. I am hesistant to allow any of them out of my head and onto this blog. But, alas, one has escaped:

I have heard it articulated in Christian circles that the role of women was exclusively given to tasks of child-rearing, sewing, cooking, and cleaning: all good and domestic things that must be done. But there was little to no talk about women being afforded the opportunity to know and love God through His Word. It really irked me, let me just simply say.

I know that the roles of men and women are different, as per Scripture. But one thing that I also know is that there is no distinction when it comes to being in Christ and sharing in the benefits of being His.

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. Galatians 3:28 (ESV)

I'm so glad that God calls women also.  I am thrilled that my husband is the spirtiual leader/head of me and my home, but I am even more thrilled that God also invites me to sit at His feet and learn, and know, and believe. God doesn't seem to leave true spirituality to the men. He lets us in too. Praise His Name!

I will just be honest (probably something that isn't safe here via blog, but...I'm going for it): if it were not for my own personal (yep, I said it) relationship with God through Christ, I would have an even more difficult time carrying out the duties of a wife and mother as well as the many other things that I am called to do. But because of Christ and the Holy Spirit inside of me, I am (only because of Christ and His work in me) able to carry out the commands of Christ. He does it in me. Again, the emphasis is NOT on me doing the work, but on CHRIST in me doing the work.

Anyway, girls, we can know and believe Him through His Word and through the Holy Spirit of God, guiding our hearts and mind. Isn't that just amazing?

So stoked to be a daughter of the King.
