I envy you that. I firmly believe that God carefully chooses the families he creates. Being called to be a mother is the most beautiful job in the world and I encourage you to stand firm! I wish I was there to support you!<BR/><BR/>As to mentoring and leading those younger than I: I frequently feel I am letting Him down in the choices I make or the way I carry out my job as wife or my job as mother. That makes it hard for me to feel that I have anything to offer those coming along the path behind me. <BR/><BR/>I will share a little wisdom that my pastor shared when I told him that. He asked me "Are you one step ahead of where they are now?" When I said yes, he told me then I should be able to lead them to where I stand now.It is all about the single step, not the whole journey. is the same with the Mothers, wives and women of God that stand in front of me. <BR/><BR/>Titus 2. It is a beautiful principle that, you are right, is horribly neglected in our society today. I can't say I have been great at keeping up my part of it because of what I described above. Satan plants the seed of unworthiness and I sometimes find it easier to hear his voice then God encouraging me. That is one of the reasons I started my blog. I am using it to bring glory to God in all the little (and big)ways I stumble and, hopefully, help out someone one step behind where I am now.seesawfaithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15628579292591370761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-241374467629178893.post-16805041740996957222008-08-07T15:46:00.000-05:002008-08-07T15:46:00.000-05:00I was just passing through and reading your blog a...I was just passing through and reading your blog and wanted to say hi.

I guess the point is that we should admonish one another in love and speak encouraging words of leadership to one another, no matter our age!Mistyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14129755588736257292noreply@blogger.com
