No Experience Necessary

 

It amazes me in reading some of these large blogs with several contributing writers how there are writers based on what? Very little to NO experience.Yes some of them are great at writing but based on the theme of the blogs they have no experience in life, very minimal in raising children and have not been married for very long.

These scriptures of instruction ring through my ears often as I read blogs like that...

Titus 2:3-5

The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; 4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, 5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

Where are the older women who are to teach the younger? Does this standard not exist in the blogging world? What does a young mom,whose children have not even started schooling yet, who has only been married for like 5 years have to show a mom who has been married 20 years and has grown children, teenagers and young ones all in the same house. I am not saying I couldn't learn something, if you are open to the working of the Holy Spirit, the Lord is always at work. But geez-- really,where are the older women? Or is it like everything else we compromise, " so we can be sure we reach all ages"?

I am going to get up on my soapbox for a little bit. I have no problem reading blogs of younger women, with less experience and younger children, but with these large teaching blogs, well let me say I am the age I am because of time, and I know what I know because of experience, and I have the wisdom that I have because of both of the above. I am stepping off the soapbox now....

What criteria do you have? Does it match up to scripture?

 

A Servant of Christ,

BFS #124 - The Easy Button

Assignment - This week I would like you to post any prayer requests you have. What is going on in your life that you need prayer warriors for? When this assignment came through I was going to share  prayer request for a much needed rental home, and new job for my beloved, but in a blink of an eye those things were no longer a concern. A truly serious, and sobering matter occurred. I was not sure how to share with all of you this matter- and how desperate I was. I was not sure how to even lift my eyes towards heaven for fear that he would not hear me, or not even want what I was wanting.  I was not sure I could handle a loss of my child. My baby- my eldest- He is 18 years old, 6 days ago he started to develop these sharp pains that would shoot to the back of his eyes. At first he described them as a headache, but he realized it was not headache, and started to complain more of the pain, and stated that pain relievers were not working. I made a doctors appointment. When the do...

Traditions…

At this time of the year everyone is filled with traditions. Things they do every year  to prepare their hearts to celebrate the greatest, and truest meaning of this season- celebrating the Birth of our Savior. We are no exception.. we started this tradition last year. Our hearts were to focus ourselves completely on what we are celebrating and why we are celebrating it so every evening, we light these candles…   gather around the table to read the scripture for the night, we sing the corresponding carol/hymn, then daddy reads a story. The story normally goes with which every figure we must pull and set up for our nativity scene. So far this is what we have out: The Donkey was first- because he carried Mary to Bethlehem, then the cow- was probably in the stable, the sheep were probably brought by the Shepherds who came to see the Savior, and then the Shepherd. This scene is such a humbling scene, one that reminds us that our Lord did not arrive in a mansion, or place b...
