Biblical Womanhood: From a Grateful Daughter: Lessons Learned from Godly Parents

I well remember those days growing up... you know, those days when it seemed like everything went wrong: the baby was fussy and wouldn't nap, the house was a mess, there were piles of dirty laundry overflowing out from the laundry room, everyone was in a bad mood, and after a few hours, mom would end up in tears saying, "I just can't do this any more..."

My parents didn't choose to have seven children and school us all at home because it was easy. Not hardly! In fact, when we first started homeschooling--back when I was in second grade--homeschooling was very uncommon; we knew only a handful of other homeschooling families, we were the only homeschoolers in our church, and you better believe our relatives thought my parents had practically lost their minds.

Yet with very little support, my parents stepped out in faith and followed where the Lord was leading them. And I'm sincerely grateful that they were faithful to God's calling--even when the going was tough. Their sacrifices and perseverance in spite of difficulty and their Godly example to me has forever changed the person that I am.

In this series I want to express my gratitude to my parents for their profound influence in my life me in hopes that it might be an encouragement to all of you parents out there to keep on, keeping on. Your labors are not in vain--even on those really difficult days.
