Called to be a Silent Witness?? ME??
Posted in Single Moms as Keepers at Home

I had an awesome visit with some dear friends this weekend. During the conversation I shared something I've been contemplating at someone else's suggestion recently. Orthodoxy or Orthoproxy? Do we fellowship where people believe what we do even though they don't live like we do (orthodoxy) or do we fellowship where people live like we do even though they don't believe exactly the way we do (orthoproxy). The ideal is that the two should meld together, but the reality is they don't. So, a dear brother in Christ suggested that perhaps I need to hang in there and be a silent witness for what I believe God has called me and most other Christian mothers to do - to home educate and to be keepers at home. Me?? A silent witness?? God can't be serious. I just really want to go where everyone is as gung ho for family intergrated, reformed worship as I am. Where I will be encouraged to homeschool, where someone won't say, "Now that Lizbeth is about through you can go back to work." I am realizing people just don't understand. I realize that I can't make them understand -- but if they'd only listen....and how are they going to do that if I'm silent??!! (read sarcasm here). Yicks! And it's only Tuesday. I hope the chiropractic adjustment to my back today, sort of ripples to my attitude. I'm really struggling to do the hard things -- I'd just like things to be easy for awhile. And this isn't even what I meant to blog about -- go figure. How about you? How are you doing? What hard things has the Lord called you to do recently? Blessings, MaggieRaye |
