I am currently reading a fabulous book by Stacy McDonald and Jennie Chancey entitled: Passionate Housewives Desperate for God and wanted to share a couple of quotes from the book that I absolutely love and that may whet your appetite to read more:
"Our Creator has given us women a glorious station where we are to employ and invest the talents He has given us. When we recognize and fully embrace our calling, we are finally free to truly enjoy it; we're able to experience contentment in the uniqueness of our role and achieve overwhelming victory in our homes and lives!"
"Using our gifts and talents to glorify God in our role as helpers to our husbands, all within the well-choreographed dance of home life, imparts a quiet lesson to a watching world and communicates true contentment in the loveliness of womanhood." (pg.35)
"Jesus made himself of no reputation. He did not seek after degrees or recognition. He was content to stay in a tiny area and minister to a miniscule group of people whom the world viewed as insignificant. Kind of like a homemaker, under the authority of her loving husband, ministering to the children who need her." (pg. 40 - 41)

GAMama Glad to see you back! Don't be too envious, we are moving to Colorado this summer. We'll be in the snow for the next few winters, too. I guess we need to spend lots of time at the beach while we can! The book you are reading sounds very encouraging. Thank you for sharing.
