Does the author of that piece think every woman everywhere would be somehow privileged to live her life, hopping around the world from one quaint little bordello to the next? We can't all be the spoiled only child of an overweening feminist. If we were, there'd be a lot less champagne.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14546489539063088564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2566055197730422533.post-2411629570604820602012-05-14T22:38:55.702-05:002012-05-14T22:38:55.702-05:00On the other hand . . . the lives of the commonly ...On the other hand . . . the lives of the commonly sensical appeal to me less and less. :P<br /><br />http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2011/11/all-the-single-ladies/8654/Rebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11129136210164478753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2566055197730422533.post-55202972788926050042012-05-14T13:47:22.971-05:002012-05-14T13:47:22.971-05:00Some soon-to-be-married family members are moving ...Some soon-to-be-married family members are moving to town after the wedding (my BIL and his fiance). I never expected to react this way, but after the initial, "Hurray! Another sister in town! Hurray! Cousins for my kids to grow up with!" this week I keep thinking:<br /><br />Us: crazy, unorganized, undisciplined, flustered, CHAOS <br />VS.<br />Them: responsible, tidy, staying in their parent's denomination, not being a financial burden, "WAITING A FEW YEARS"<br /><br />Comparison is a wicked thing, and I never expected it control me like this.

Isn't Heaven about forgivenss, that I the Chief of Sinners so desparately need? And yet, I gloat in thinking about their shock.

Of course I'm afraid! I'm afraid of actually going as crazy as I feel. I'm afraid of being 300 pounds. I'm afraid of not being able to help any of the kids with college. I'm afraid of the bullying they'll endure because they won't have the latest fashions and electronic gadgets. I'm afraid of what life will be like for them in this sick-o, scary world. I'm afraid they'll feel neglected because I can't give them attention when they want it. I'm afraid my husband, especially, will feel like the lowest priority since the house is rarely in order and meals are such chaos.<br /><br />But you know? God tells me over and over again NOT to be afraid. And I am Sarah's daughter if I don't give in to the fear. Lord, I believe!
