A Rich, Home-Centered Life
Don't miss Homemakerang's post on Grocery Shopping and Living on One Income.
Since we've been having some interesting discussions on Biblical submission, be sure that you read Carmon's excellent thoughts on this subject. Ever wondered what the life of a Prairie Muffin looks like? Check out a Day in Carmon's Life - she disaproves the theory that you cannot have a rich, home-centered life. I love this comment of hers:

If I get a chance, in the context of our discussion about a women’s role, I will continue to attempt to explain the richness of a woman’s home-centered life, a life which is not a confining, reclusive existence, but one where her creativity can be fully expressed and a sacrificial life of service to her family and others brings joy and adventure. Those who characterize it otherwise have very limited imaginations.Do you have a rich, home-centered life? If so, tell us about it! What makes it so? We need to be dispelling those myths that being a homemaker means half your brain is"tied behind your back!" Also, if you've recently posted something on homemaking or the joys of being a wife, mother, or daughter, please comment and leave the link to your post, or email it my way.

I have to confess I don't have a rich home centered life. Nor do I want one. I resist the urge to make my home the center of my life. (And it is a strong urge.)
Yes, I find great pleasure in living out the life of a believer as my husband's help meet and as the mother of my six children. But I desire a Christ centered life. I cannot assume that my home will always be the way that it is. It is a Christ centered life that leads to contentment. If I seek to make my home the center of my life I have turned my eyes away from Christ and risk making my home an idol.
I don't want to preach the gospel of "home centered" to women. I am called to spread the good news Christ and in Him find my role as a woman.
Some may quibble that this is just a matter of terminology. It may be a little of that. But terminology is the one of the strongest expressions of who and what we are. God spoke a "word" and it came to be. Words are important. For me, I don't want to be known as one who had a rich home centered life, but rather as one who had an obedient Christ centered life.
