I'm sad this evening because my husband determined that we are not in a position to foster a dog. He thinks I will try to keep every dog we bring home. We are renters and we move a lot, and he is concerned that we won't find a rental when we move again. I feel … Continue reading Dogs, Church, Park

Many Are Invited, Few Are Chosen
For the first time, I really realize how important the parable of the wedding banquet is. A man who does not have wedding clothes is spotted at a wedding celebration (and he had already declined to attend),and cast outside where there is gnashing of teeth. Then Jesus says "Many are invited, few are chosen." If … Continue reading Many Are Invited, Few Are Chosen
Submission and the wheelchair
Quick thought. When I told my husband how safe I feel when he pushes me in my wheelchair, he said it makes sense because I submit. You have to submit when someone else is pushing your wheelchair. Following my husband's lead and listening to him has in many ways become second nature to me. I … Continue reading Submission and the wheelchair
Submission is Beautiful
So many people are against submission because feminism and rebelling against the Bible are so popular. Many women who find my Instagram assume I am dumb and abused. When I first married my husband, submission was not a part of my life. My husband even told me he wanted to leave "obey" out of our … Continue reading Submission is Beautiful
Radical, Sweet Softness
I have decided to embrace a radical softness. I want to be serene, gentle, and sweet. No more harboring anger or getting stressed out or being impatient. Obviously I don't mean the feminist form of radical softness. I don't believe in toxic masculinity for starters, and furthermore, this is all about femininity. I want to … Continue reading Radical, Sweet Softness
Public Vs Private
Today on Instagram I wrote about how masculine the public sphere is. From work to politics, public life is filled with conflict. Fighting through that conflict is masculine. I prefer the gentle, serene, and feminine. I have a fiery personality sometimes, but I like to stay at home and be at peace. I'm not saying … Continue reading Public Vs Private
2024 Goals
1. Decorate my home in a more eclectic style. I want to be true to my own vision - like when I ordered a handmade, rainbow collection of jellyfish for my window. 2. Publish a book. I have an art book and a poetry book in the works. I am obsessed with collage, and I … Continue reading 2024 Goals
Change Over The Years
It's weird to think about, but when my husband and I first married we were egalitarian. I submitted to no one. My husband and I were equal in all decisions. I cleaned, but I didn't do any cooking. I was immodest. I was obsessed with college and longed to go to grad school like I … Continue reading Change Over The Years
Real Men Support Their Families
There is no such thing as a right without responsibilities. Men have the right to be leaders in their homes and make the decisions. They have the right to be head of household. But with that right comes responsibilities, and one of the biggest responsibilities is the responsibility to support the family. If a woman … Continue reading Real Men Support Their Families
Husbands Are Commanded to Love Their Wives
A husband should love his wife like Christ loved the Church and be willing to lay his life down for her. But love isn't just who you die for. It's who you live for. Men with unhappy wives should ask themselves whether the decisions they make benefit the whole family, or only him. Do you … Continue reading Husbands Are Commanded to Love Their Wives
