A Woman's Highest Calling
As someone who struggled with infertility for the first 10 years of my marriage, I found this post so completely refrshing that I HAD to share it: http://humblemusings.com/archives/2008/09/02/a-woman%e2%80%99s-highest-calling/#comments
I have never been able to succinctly put into words the excruciating pain in my heart every Mother's Day in church when all the mother's were called out and honored. Or the pain from believing since I was a little girl that I would just grow up, get married, and have babies. No one ever told me that some women just CAN'T have babies, no matter how much you wish you could. Or that God doesn't call every woman to have babies.
I have struggled with how to prepare my own daughter for the possibility that God might NOT call her to get married OR have babies. This post does a beautiful job of reminding us that our highest calling is to live our lives according to what GOD has called us to live, and I am grateful for that.
I came across the link over at Julie's blog. I have not read other posts from this blog, so not sure where she stands on any thing else, but on this one thing, I say a hearty "Thank You"!!!

I enjoyed the post, also. I think to many mom's set their daughters up for the expectation of being a wife and mother. We do not know what God will call our daughters to be. We need to teach our daughters that glorifying God is their highest calling. This was a great reminder.
oh beth i am so with you. you are so right. i feel as if i have just awakened from some cultish fog over the past year. oh beth, i love you so much. you are my kindred spirit in the crazy world.
