Introduction

Titus 2:3-5Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent
in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to
teach what is good. Then they can train the younger women to love their husbands
and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind,
and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God.

Being a Godly woman, wife and mother in this world can be hard but it is important that we remember that what God expects of us is more important then what the world does. There is nothing wrong with looking, acting and feeling like a woman. God made me that way and I want to enjoy all that he has given me. I want to joyfully submit to my husband's authority and teach my children to grow up to be a Godly man and woman. I want to make my husband and children proud. Here are a few of the things I do to try to be the kind of woman God wants me to be.

Tending to my household: my husband is the ruler of my household but it is my job to make sure the home runs smoothly. It is my job to clean, cook and take care of the children even though our son is grown and moved out and my daughter is nearly grown. She still lives at home so it is my responsibility to teach her to be a Godly woman. One of the things we do is to have nightly devotions together. I am wanting to work more on ways to teach her and hopefully will be posting more on that later.

Cleaning: it is my job to make sure the trailer stays clean. I really need to start having my daughter help more. She is a bit spoiled and that really needs to change. I make my own laundry detergent and clean everything with vinegar and water. It saves us money and also is alot better on us health wise.

Cooking: meals are my responsibility also. I want to make everything homemade and not rely on premade or frozen meals. We raise our own animals for meat, milk and eggs and I also have a garden that I raise our vegetables in. My garden did not do so well this year but God willing it will be bountiful next year. I have a weakness for eating out and that is something I really want to work on. I want to stop going out to eat except on very special occasions. I think it is much healthier to make my own meals.

Finances: a Godly wife also should not spend more money then what they can afford. I see no problem with a wife getting an allowance and needing to use that for her special things she want to splurge on. *yes, that is a hint to my loving husband.*

Friends: it is important to me to have friends that share the same views as me. It is nice to have others to talk about who share my beliefs. The hardest thing for me right now is that I cannot find anyone that lives around me who shares the same beliefs I have about how a wife should be. It is also important to have friends who do not want to gossip. It seems that lots of women like to sit around and gossip even in the church.

Dress: I like to dress modestly. There are parts of me that only my husband should see. My husband likes for me to wear pants and shorts instead of skirts and dresses so I make sure that the shorts arent too short and I make sure that the shirts I wear with the pants do not reveal anything.

This is the end of my introduction, my posts from now on will be more about my day to day life and the feelings I have throughout my days. Thank you for reading and sharing with me. God bless you all!
