Too often, when a woman says that she desires to be a "stay-at-home mom," she is scorned and considered to be a detriment to her sex. Women who think that getting a career and making something of themselves believe that those who don't are against forward motion.
I must say, I'm one of the farthest from a feminist that one will find. I am not against a woman having a career, but I am not one who intends to do so, and I am tired of defending my choice to others.
When God created man, he was alone; He said that it was not good for man to be alone, and created Eve to be a help-meet for Adam. Biblically, the woman is to support her husband, to be submissive to him, to love him as he loves her. I refuse to be apologetic for choosing to follow the model of marriage that God set up.
I don't really know in what direction my life is headed. I do know that God has called me to be a wife and mother, to stay at home, caring for my family, when that time comes. I'm not positive yet who will be my husband, but I do believe that he will be a minister of some sort, whether a pastor, youth minister, music minister...but I am preparing myself to the best of my ability to be the best minister's wife I can; to honor God in the way I live; to be an example to others if it is possible for me. This is my prayer, and I hope that anyone who might read this would pray for me as well.
Telling Casey this is one bit of concern for me...I am afraid that if I tell him, he would be scared away...even though there is nothing in my plan that eludes to him specifically. Telling a college-age guy, especially one at OBU, that my goal in life is to get married, is a huge deal...and definitely something that would scare him...
