    As a Christian, the best thing I can do is work in the public schools. I CAN be the light in their darkness. The more of us who can be one of those lights in the world the better.
    Whereas, those who pull away and cloister themselves with their own like minded kind will not have a viable way to bring the gospel to those who have not seen it.
    It's not about the income and things. I do my job in the school because I love G-d and being a light to these children. I have my own children, I am married.
    You cannot lump us all into the same bag.

    What’s in our city water and coming down from the sky is causing a lot of problems that were not issues when water came from wells and planes weren’t dumping heavy metals out of the sky. My maternal side had 12-17 children and my paternal side 17 and up. By the time my parents started having kids the water and sky issues led to no more than 3 children but most one 1. Average people don’t have any idea what the government is doing in our sky’s that is causing major issues like infertility and Alzheimer’s to name just two.
    I just want to mention from someone who gladly gave up my career to be a mom and homemaker God always met our needs just not all the wants! When families realize the difference between those two things we realize just how very blessed believers are following Gods lead. May God bless you both and give you the desires of your hearts!!

      You are 100% correct. We are quite literally being poisoned, between what’s happening in the skies, city water streams, food, Pharma, media, etc. and most people not only fail to see it, but will fight with you if you try to point it out.

      That is an excellent point! When we go to South Africa, we intentionally look for lines in the sky and have not once seen them...
      And that is just so amazing with how many children your family had and to compare that with today... it's astounding.
      And always love your testimony with this!

      Contraception - since the introduction of The Pill in 1960's there has been a decrease in the number of children women have. My Grandparents all came from large families, in the days before effective contraception.

    I was inappropriately touched by a doctor during a medical exam when I was 11 years old. I’ll go to male doctors for many issues, but I want my gynecologist to be a woman, and I thank God there are women in that profession.

    Best quote ever: “All that clutter used to be money and all that money used to be TIME.” Working 40, 50, 60 hours a week is not worth giving up the TIME with your family! Drive the old crappy car. Quit eating out. Buy the clothes at Goodwill. WORK LESS! Totally worth it.

    I so agree with this. I was a teacher until 2 years ago. I had nothing left for my own children (or husband) after a full day of dealing with other people's children. It was exhausting, and as you said, I was doing it all, but none of it well. I am so glad God pulled on my heart and helped me find a way to come home.

    I think its also wise to acknowledge that some families need 2 incomes just to afford a very basic standard of living and no luxuries. So for me, if I have to bring in some money because my husband already works 60+ hours a week im going to make my part time work count and do a job that serves my community....much like my husband's job is a service to the community.

    • @StrawberryJamJam29
      @StrawberryJamJam29 2 місяці тому

      Exactly. I live an hour away from a major city and cannot move because I can’t afford it. A one bedroom apartment costs $2K+. My future husband would have to make a huge amount of money if we were to have kids and more bedrooms. It doesn’t matter if we cut costs, we still couldn’t afford it on one income.

    Thank you for this video. It was a very helpful discussion. It’s so important to prioritize our family, and remember that we are the strongest influence in their lives, and if we choose to give that privilege over, it often doesn’t turn out well in so many ways. Bless the mothers and women that can be a long-standing foundation for their family.

    We practice wifely submission
    but my children are leaving my house (off to adulthood) in the coming 5 years I will have an empty nest, so I'm getting a degree right now so I can start working when they do. I'm in my 40s when they leave so I have so many more years to fill up. My husband agrees with this, and I already raised my children, and we think there is a season for everything. I'm just entering a different season. I want to do social work, and contribute to my community.

    Hi. Im your new subscriber. Im maried for almost 5 years and still trying to concieve. Last year I resign from my job and still waiting but it is still just the two of us . I feel lonely and guilty in this joirney. I thought it is better to go back to work and bless more people than just being at home. I want to be a fulltime housewife, but all people around me esp when they have no kids, both will work and do more to the community and save more rather than just stay at home. But deep inside I want to be fulltime
    housewife. Im really confused now. Any thought on this?

    Usually I agree with you but nurses not only care for people who had bad hygiene or bad nourishment. I am not a native speaker so maybe I didn’t get you right.
    Nurses are working in many units. No matter if you have a broken leg or cancer. You will need a nurse. And female nurses are usually more empathetic, loving and patient with their patients than male nurses. Or what about gynecologists? I would never go to a male gynecologist. What about midwives? I really don’t want a man assisting when I give birth. I am all for being a homemaker but there are jobs for which we really need women.
    And in Germany - where I live - and many other European countries homeschool isn’t allowed. 😢 Women are so much better in understanding the younger children like in primary school. Men don’t even want to work as teachers in these schools.
    I think women shouldn’t work while they have children a certain age. And you are so right. Since I stopped working outside the home even the chores I usually don’t like I make with joy. I was cooking, cleaning and making the laundry while I was working too. But now if something goes wrong or the tasks add up I am no longer frustrated or feel I have to hurry to get everything done in time. The mood in our home improved and my husband and I are way more relaxed and happy. ❤

      @ScottandKelli  Рік тому +1

      Hi Anna, yes, agree with what you said, I've had many female nurses which I am grateful for their service.
      Our main point is if being in these jobs is ruining a woman's marriage, children and home life, then it's not the best for her to be in these positions. Sure, if a woman has raised her children and they are out of the home, and she is compelled and excited about working as a nurse or teacher, and her husband has no issue with her working outside of the home, no problem. Thanks for sharing your testimony with this. Blessings to you.
      Also, that is such a shame, homeschooling isn't allowed in Germany!

    I think you spend too much time appeasing people who disagree with you, and will just never align because their values and priorities are different. Those people are a distraction to you teaching us how you feel about biblical gender roles. Sure, there's room to question what you say in case you're wrong about what the Word says, or you're going a little too extreme. But power to you guys... thank you for trying to focus on the Word and I exhort you to just keep doing that!
