One thing that I get so frustrated by is women's bible study literature. Yeah, we've got big life issues to work through in a godly way - we want to learn to be submissive wives without being doormats. We want to learn how to raise our kids in godly ways (at least, so my mom-friends tell me). We want to figure out how we fit our emotional, imperfect selves into the Christian walk and glorify God while we do it.
This does NOT. mean we all want books written by beauty queens and soft spoken old ladies talking about nothing more than how this particular bible verse makes us *feel* right now. We're smart ladies! We have real people thoughts.
And where are we supposed to turn? They think I'm crazy at work because my husband ultimately is the decision maker in my home. And then there's sometimes this attitude in the church that God made me for baby-making only, so what am I doing outside my home in the first place? Now before I get carried away about all the woes and trials of being a Christian woman, let me just stop and say,
Molly Piper, thank you for being so awesome. Thank you for not having perfect hair and for admitting that this Christian thing can be tricky. Thank you for loving your husband and your kids and God, and still having a brain in there. Thank you for being so encouraging and real.
