Marriage

I have had my mind turn to this subject more often than I care to. As women though we have to cultivate a love for the home. As women we have to be modest in our appearance, care of children, and be feminine. We have to put the Lord first and submit to our fathers spiritual headship (if they are teaching their children in the admonition of the Lord). Woman while they may devote their lives to serving the Lord as a single, they may also serve the Lord in a biblical marriage. This is the rub wondering whether God wants you to be a single of whether he wants you to be married. I have wondered often about this question and still have no answers. Singleness is a gift, but marriage is one also. 

The Hope

I am besieged not by fears for my walk with God. I am placing my trust only on Jesus. Though bad things are going on and I am just plain tired of the battle. I know I must keep on. Though people surrounding me may falter I must press forward. There is so much ahead of me and I know that without him I would be helpless. He has taken care of me and I know he will continue to do so. Though I am weak he strengthens me. Though I am weary of the battle he give me the will to fight. My hope is in God and no one else.e
