01.05.2012 (134 Days Ago)
Tonight my husband and I attended a college graduation. Of those graduating with an associate's degree approximately 80% were women. Of those receiving a bachelor's about 70% were female. Of the masters 75% were ladies.
My father once told me that someday I would compromise my high ideals. I was determined that I would not. Looking back thirty years later I realize that I have compromised my lofty goals in several areas that readily come to my mind.
Years ago I chose my life career from the books of Genesis, Titus and Revelation. I would be my husband's completer, a keeper at home and I would bring God pleasure. I was going to be the best that could be. I am not. I find that I used to try harder in several categories. I believe the Lord has been prompting me to take a look at my life and decide whether I am going to now be satisfied with average or if I am going to pick those ideals back up and press forward for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
What about you?

As someone with a Master's degree I know myself growing up that is what is expected. You go to school and then to college...almost as it is a natural thing to do as natural as it is for a Christian young lady growing up in a Christian home to be a stay at home mom. Then even in Christian circles this line is so blurred because there are many families where the husband expects the wife to work. I know from experience it is difficult to work and to be a wife. I know I could not do it. I was exhausted by the time I got home to even think about doing anything for my family.
