Turning Our Hearts To Home

Femninism and No Longer Quivering

Feminisim.  I loath feminisim.  I believe kids have become so messed up because mommy wasn't home after school to take care of them, protect them and keep them out of trouble.  Out of guilt or foolishness, these children were given too much freedom and spoiled to much.  They grew up with a sense of entitlment.  And then they had babies.  And produced much of the same.  But not too many babies.  Too big of family interferes with how much time one has to thierself and how lavishly they can spend thier money.  I once had someone tell me thier daughter was only having one or two kids so she could pay for thier college.  Since when did children automatically become entilled to a fully funded post secondary degree?  Maybe kids would spend less time partying and out in bars if they had a part time job to pay for thier school.  Feminisim.  I think it's responsible for the rise in divorce too.  Women no longer accepting thier husbands as head in the family, honoring and respecting him.  Instead, they want to be incharge and they want to be the breadwinners.  No man's gonna tell them what to do.  Stay home and raise babies, keep a nice welcoming home and have a hot meal ready for thier man-  Forget  that!  And why raise babies?  Have thier 1.4 kids, shipping off to daycare and pursue thier 'real'l life.  The life that they spend thier freshest and most qumulative waking hours at.  Where they can feel rewarded with cash instead of hugs and kisses.  I like the song Free by Serene and Pearl "Cause I'm a woman, I'm not a man, I long to be just who I am.   Wanna show some feminine charm, hold my babies in my arms and be free".  I couldn't imagine working for some boss all day, picking up my kids from day care or school, throwing together a quick meal, homework at night before they run off to see thier friends and then they are in bed.  I couldn't imagine not being with my kids all day.  They are mine and I'm not giving them to government to raise by day, and to be influenced by other government raised children at night.  Kids always want to run of to play with friends.  That's where the real relationships are as that's whom they spend all thier time with by day, so naturally, they want to by night.  When my kids get together with friends, it's a family thing.  I bring all my kids, or they bring theirs.  I talk with the mom.  I also  blame feminisim for why it's so difficult for women to stay home financially. We've become a society that caters to two income families.  The lust of the eyes and flesh have it.  We see all we want, all we can have.  For those who have no issues with it, that's great.  But for a mom who just wants to be home with her kids, it's heart breaking.  Feminisim.  You might as well just hang up a sign that says "It's all about me, my wants, my desires and my goals".  I still think staying home is more easily attainable than most think.  What if you didn't have to live in such a large home?  Have that 2nd car?  Sattelite TV?  Starbucks every morning?  All the things you do cause you have to have a special woredrobe, nails, wordrobe, hair and meals out?  I know, sometimes, for some, there really isn't any other way.  I'm not saying every situation is going to be just fine on one income.  I'm just saying, if we truly value being home with our kids, we can do with a lot less than we think.  It's all about where your priorties are.  A good book to read is 'The Way Home' by Mary Pride.  I encourage all woman to read it.

However, I have totally lost what I came here to blog about.  I was just googling to see what was being said on the news as I heard Fox was at the door of the poor family I blogged about last month that lost thier baby during an attempted homebirth.  Well, I stumbled across a blog called 'No Longer Qivering".  It states "There's no U in qivering".  It's all about how she 'escaped' the quiverful and patriarhical minset.  And, sadly, how she even walked away from the Lord and doesn't believe in the bible.  It was written by men in a patriahical society (never mind it was God inspired).  It no longer applies today, in our society.  I read some of the comments, applauding her for 'escaping'.  About how others have escaped and found goddess worship.  Ugh.  You wanna know something?  I was wiccan.  I worshiped a goddess.  Maiden, mother, crone.  An harm ye none, do what ye will.  That kind of stuff.  When I became pregnant with my first, I remember studying up how to dedicate her to the goddess.  Near the end, I looked at my belly, seen the little foot stick out like a golf ball and slide to the other side.  I realized that this world had to be made by an all powerful God who could create life out 2 tiny things not even visible to the naked eye and create a tiny perfect human being.  Thank you Jesus for resucing me, for opening my eyes to see all that you have done for me. 

So if you get a chance, please pray for this woman That she comes back to the Lord with her 6 children.  I'm not too cure what her husband is up to now.  But she divorced him and is now a single mom.

I couldn't agree more. I wasn't raised in a Christian home. I was raised in a feminist home. But, with God clearing my mind as a born again believer, I have been getting free from a lot of that feminist brain washing that is in the schools.

Have you heard of Monstrous Regiment of Women? I love that series. Here is a link:http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/momofsix/672237/

My neighbor's wife decided to go back to college. In a short time she went out drinking with her friends, and then left her husband and the children to have fun with her friends. She told him that she didn't want to be married any longer. My husband knows someone who was asking for prayer for a woman that did exact same thing. The tragedy put one of the young children,the young daughter, in the hospital for emotional trauma, causing her intestines to altogether stop and go gangrene. It was awful. We prayed and prayed for them. It is really sad when that happens.

if you read the blog, you will see that she escaped an abusive marriage, not just quiverfull. she put up with the abuse because the constant childbirth weakened her to the point that she just couldn't stop the abuse of herself and the children

I really do appreciate it when people are upfront about who they are and don't hide behind anonymous.

I'm sorry she was being abused. But now she's going to hell and likely led all 6 of her children away from the Lord too. I am sorry that woman was in a bad relationship. But her soul is no better off now and flesh is just flesh.

I was raised in an abusive home, I do have sympathy. But nothing is worse than no longer having Christ in your life. I just pray that one day she will find the Lord again and her children also. I pray her DH will make a remarkable turn around and one day glorify the Lord with thier testimony of all that went wrong for them and yet, they came out victorious in Christ.
