From Bambi at In the Nursery if the Nation: There must be a balance before us of proclaiming the nobility and greatness of motherhood—because it is noble and great (this is the next generation, people!) —and the hard truth that sometimes life ain’t purty.All of this to say, ask yourself if your expectations are realistic for what […]

From the Western Conservatory: If you think God’s plan for young women is all about being modest, keeping pure, staying home, preparing for marriage, and waiting for Prince Charming… you will not like this message. But… If you’re tired of a small and fruitless vision for single womanhood, and are wondering if God might want […]

Words of wisdom from Bambi Moore at In the Nursery of the Nation: These are the Calgon moments of motherhood. The rock tumbler as one mom called it. We start to smash into each other and painfully get our rough edges knocked off. The surprise of it is like being in the wave pool at […]

I was thrilled to come across this poem today at Strangers and Pilgrims on Earth: Not in the church to rule or teach, her place; Not in the mart of trade, or senate halls; Not the wild, festive scene is hers to grace; Not Fashion’s altar her its victim calls; Not here her field of […]

Don’t miss this powerful post from Bambi at In the Nursery of the Nation: Motherhood is work many times. But work isn’t some terrible Christian duty we can’t enjoy. It is our duty but when we empty ourselves for others, the Lord fills us up…with replenishments of strength, joy, creativity and more. That way we have it to give all over again…to which […]
