"I have grown so weary of feminists..."

Crystal,
I just wanted to send a note telling you how much I enjoy your blog. I am the mommy to 4 boys (8, 7, 21 months, 4 months) and the wife to Jeff. I think it is so wonderful that you are prodding women to be better wives and mothers. I find it so interesting that some women think they can do anything a man can (and better to boot) but they lash out when you blog about our roles as wives and moms. If we are uncapable of taking a small amount of criticism (that they aren't even being "forced" to read...anyone who reads your blog chooses to do so of their own free will) then how on earth do they expect that we as women should be able to do anything? I have grown so weary of feminists eliminating the need for men. We don't need them for protection or provision....we don't need them to help raise our children....we don't even need them for sex anymore (hence the great amount of lesbian feminists)....we don't need them leading our churches (we have women for that now too). So what exactly is the purpose of men??? (I'm not asking you these questions....just trying to make a point). =O) We certainly need more women taking a stand for motherhood and for the role we fill as help meets to our husbands. I have been so encouraged by your site and also challenged and I just wanted to thank you and be sure that tomorrow you got at least one positive email.

Hugs go out to you Mandi!!! I couldn't have said it better myself. I am a stay at home wife (not mom yet, but Lord willing one day) and take my role very seriously in the eys of God. Oh sure, I could have an outside job if I wanted, but what would that extra money do for me and my husband? We would just spend it frivously on things we think we need but really don't. I think the Lord has laid it upon my heart though to try to begin an at home business. I love to make greeting cards and I have tons of supplies to do them. I may make a stack or two and see how they sell. If they work out, Praise the Lord, if they don't...oh well, at least I tried.
But anyways..back to the subject...LOL. I am with you Mandi!!!!

Great post Mandi! Often when you read about our great leaders from quite some time ago or our men of God...they have often stated that because of the support of the their wives and mothers they have become the men they are(not ignoring God here). As wives and mothers, we fullfill an essential need for our children and husbands.

Thanks Crystal for posting this and continuing to say the truth in the face of adversity.
