The count down has begun...

Giggle, after today 2 more Saturdays until I am "retired"!

I am very excited about it. I feel like there are big things in store for PH because of this.

Where my mission used to be helping children develop into awesome people, now my mission is to restore the importance of being a wife and mom. Reasserting the importance of the family unit. Taking things down a notch and focusing on being a woman of God.

Don't get me wrong I am not gonna be promoting cave man ideas. I do believe some women are called by God to work. Even some moms are. However work should never be the big picture or the place our value comes from. I do not care if you are a cafe waitress or Meg Whitman (ebay ceo) 

Your value comes from God and the place HE designs for you. He says we are Keepers of the Home. A keeper of the home is more than a housewife, more than a chief cook and bottle washer. From my study a Keeper of the Home in the original text meant a guardian of the home. Guarding against outside influences for bad, against harm to the family. That is an important job, one we have been taught to put in a box when in actuality it is the biggest part of who we are as women. After all God designed us specifically for this task. My job now is to reestablish this as the forefront of PH. 

There is a lot of work left undone in this field. A lot of books are written, but some how I am led to the idea that they are missing something. I love the leaders in women's ministry. Beth Moore, Nacny Leigh DeMoss and so on. I miss the Lottie Beth Hobbs and Genevieve White's we used to have. That is where I feel a void. That is where I think I need to be. And with prayer and study and more prayer and study that is where PH will go.

Along with this I want to learn old time skills too, so that we can follow the verse in 1 Thes. 4:
1Th 4:11-12 and to aspire to live quietly, and to mind your own affairs, and to work with your hands, as we instructed you,
so that you may walk properly before outsiders and be dependent on no one. 


This is something I have felt a great pull towards for over 6 months.  Now I have the time to put it into action! Wanna come along for the ride??

hugs y'all
