Now that I’ve been in the “Christian” circle for a couple of years, there’s something that the Lord is now teaching me to be very wary of. It’s subtle. It’s sneaky. And it can come upon anyone without advanced warning.
What I didn't know then, and am just now beginning to understand now, is that my elders spoke of a family culture- one filled with standards, traditions, boundaries, and customs. Fast forward to now living in my 30s, married with 5 young kiddos. For a few years, I felt the Holy Spirit impress on me to consider carefully the culture my husband and I were cultivating within our home.
I planned on mopping, prepping homeschool stuff, and folding some laundry. The first day back from a weekend like this, alone with the kids, is HARD. I don’t want to be rushing in the morning and feeling overwhelmed.
Honestly, most of the lists, goals, plans that my husband and I have made year after year have not come to fruition.
Don’t be tempted to become enslaved to the title you’ve arrested yourself under and thereby become a faithful servant to that “title” instead of the Lord.
