Thank you so much for stopping by my little corner of blog land. This blog was created in the hopes that I can share with other women the glorious calling God has placed on our lives to be a keeper of the home, a help meet to our husbands and a mother to our children.
My name is Stephanie and I am a mother to three beautiful children, ages 6, 9, and 13. I lived in the country woods in Maine, and I am a child of God, and full time homemaking, homeschooling mama.
As I have journeyed on the path of following Christ, He has also graciously taught me how what a high and noble calling He has on my life, and the life of every woman He created. Through the years, I have learned so much about this truth, and it is my heart to share it with all who will listen!
I didn’t always understand this important truth. I was brainwashed as a young woman by the lie of our feminist culture, embracing what I thought was going to lead me down a path of a fulfilling life. In my senior year of high school I was determined to never get married but set out to go to college, climb the corporate ladder and make “something of myself”. I had no desire for domestic duties, and often told my mother that I would have a maid when I owned a home so that I didn’t have to “deal with cleaning”. That was before I met my husband and fell head over heels in love when I was 18 years old.
I remember one conversation we had where I told him “Just so you know, I don’t want children”. (I had already given in on the marriage part) He looked straight at me and said “Oh yes you do.” He was right. I had my first child at the age of 20 and have never looked back. My children are my greatest joy and I wouldn’t change my life for anything!
Even though I embraced my role as a wife and mother, I still didn’t understand fully understand what it meant. I made a lot of mistakes and took a lot of wrong turns. I fully surrendered my life to Christ when I was 23. After still more fumbling around, I finally found my way and began to understand God’s plan for me as a woman created in His image. I am still learning, still growing, still making mistakes, and still fumbling around but I have also learned a lot and grown a lot through it all too!
I am a teacher at heart, which translates into a love of learning! I have often wondered what I am supposed to do with all these wonderful things I have learned. Then one day, I stumbled upon the Titus 2 mandate:
Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. Then they can train the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God.
I knew that teaching these glorious truths to others was exactly what I wanted to do. After a lot of prayer, planning, and discussion with my husband, A High And Noble Calling came to be.
I certainly do not have it all figured out. I am still very much learning on a daily basis, but it is my desire through this blog to encourage and share all that I have learned in this never ending journey! I make mistakes, I have my victories, good days, bad days and all those days in between. I don’t always have it all together, but it is my sincere hope that this blog will share these victories, triumphs, struggles, and blessings in a very real way that is uplifting, encouraging, and inspiring to all woman who desire to embrace their high and noble calling in this life.
