Hello my fellow Christians.
I am writing from Ireland, which is a lonely place to be a baptist, not having a strong community here. I am a small town girl, whom is doing my best to keep my house running as it should be. My favourite scripture quote is: Ephesians 5:22, to whit "wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord"

I am approaching my 20th year on this earth, and my 2nd year as married woman. Not sure what else to say, only that I hope I will find the guidance and support here of my fellow Christisans in my daily life.

[Mary Etheldreda]

Hello, and welcome to our forums! I'm sorry to hear you have to live among the drunks and superstitious. Perhaps the LORD has important motherhood type work for you there! Have you been blessed with any children yet?

[whiteroses]

Thank you most kindly for your welcome. I do not have much time to mingle with the drunks or most of the population outside my home and family. I have 3 children, twin boys and a baby girl. We are expecting another bundle of joy, we have not gone for any scans, as this seems a slap in the face of Gods plan, to be trying to predict at his design, so we are unsure if this blessing will be one baby or indeed twins again. My family has a history of twins, as does my husband so we might be doubly blessed. After this next time, my husband thinks we should try wait at least a year before having any further children. However that's his decision and the Lords gift to bestow or not bestow as they see fit.

Welcome to the friendliest forum on the internet! And let me say, listening to your submission to Jesus and your husband is very refreshing! It seems so many who come to us from the Sodomy Isles have twisted and clearly un-Christian ways. You are a breath of fresh air!

PS. We'd love to sample some of your corned beef and cabbage sometime soon!

Thank you kindly, should we make it across the pond to be closer to our brothers and sisters in Christ, with my husbands permission I would happily cook a banquet for our new community. We believe that there should be a men's table and a table for women and children who are not yet in bed at such events. We use a bell to attract attention for when the men wish to have more food, fresh gravy or other sauce and so forth. This way the men get to discuss the important matters, and the women do their Christian duty by minding the children and being out of sight unless summoned.

There are many who judge me for staying home to raise my family and care for my husband. There are those who feel that the discipline aspect is either wrong/abuse or else it is a perversion we enjoy. However when I ask them for reasons why being a stay at home mum is wrong, or how they think anyone could enjoy the act of discipline they cannot answer me. I do not like when I have disappointed my husband, nor do I like when our children have misbehaved. I do not believe my husband likes it when he needs to correct behaviour, after all it is a tiresome burden for him to have to work and head up a household.

I know of one lady who seems to understand, and who wishes for the same life for herself, however she is not married nor does e appear to practise any religion. I am meet grateful that she is not judging me for my life.

[Mrs. Elizabeth Johnson]

What a lovely lady you are! I am Elizabeth, and I am currently engaged to a pastor at my Baptist church! You sound very blessed, and while persecuted, our dear Lord promised to reward us if we were persecuted. I look forward to getting to know you better!

Yours in Christ,
Elizabeth

[whiteroses]

Thank you also. I am sorry for the delay in response. My parents are not well so I have been taking care of them and my normal duties the last few days. I hope that you are well. I am most happy for you and your engagement. Marriage is a blessing.

[Mrs. Elizabeth Johnson]

Rosie,

I am sorry to hear about your parents; it is wonderful that you are caring for them and being a good, obedient daughter (I hope you are putting your husband first!). Thank you for your congratulations on my engagement; I am very excited!

YiC,
Elizabeth

[whiteroses]

Thank you for your sympathies Elizabeth, I am indeed putting my husband first. I have worked out a fine balancing act to ensure that all my family receive the attention and care they require, with my husbands guidance and permission of course.

I wish that my daughter was older so that she could help, but her presence cheers my parents up, so in her own baby way she is helping. My husband has kindly said that I can sleep until 8am this weekend, once my chores are completed the evening before. He will also carry out our maintenance beating while I feed our daughter. She will be fed by me until the new baby or babies arrive.

Your husband sounds like such a gracious man! He truly shows his love for you, controlling you and still being kind and generous. You are very blessed! My own fiance is a wonderful man, and I hope he treats me with the same kindness and Christian love. I also pray that I am as blessed as you when it comes to childbearing. Your daughter sounds sweet. Just make sure your parents are disciplining her and putting into her the love for our Lord.

He is truly that. I am lucky to have found him. I have also been highly blessed with childbearing. It is a highly productive use of my time and body.

At our house, and at my parents house, we have child sized rods. We feel it is best to start early, so as to avoid the temptations of the devil, which appear earlier and earlier as time passes us by. It is now a highly contentious task to raise children in the way of the Lord, but we do not wish to raise any gays or feminazis. Men need to be men, and women to be women, and the lessons to correctly establish these rules cannot begin too soon. Already our sons know that to be the head of the house means taking your wife into your control and ensuring her good behaviour does not slip. Even if I was dishonest enough to try hide a misdeed or something that was upset my husband, my sons will inform him of them. As is only correct.

You are 20 years old and you've already been married for 2 years?

Um, Welcome, Dear. I am going to go pray a while.

It's not quite as bad as that Sister Naomi - she says she is "approaching her 20th year" which suggests she was married at 17. There may have been some perfectly innocent reason for leaving it so late. I myself was not married until I was 18!!!

Yours in Faith,
Joanna

Sister Joanna,

I do not mean to reproach you, but let's not add more agony and heartache to my dear Sister Naomi by talking so extensively about getting married young. You and Rosie are very noble and womanly in fulfilling your role, just as the Lord has demanded, and so has Sister Naomi. Our dear sweet Lord has obviously not wanted Sister Naomi to be married yet, and she has virtuously protected her Christian womanly dignity till the Lord is ready. Even though it is hard for her. She is doing all that the Lord has asked of her and then is helping other young women do the same. I greatly admire your kindness throughout the forum and look forward to getting to know you better!

YiC,
Elizabeth

[Joanna Lytton-Vasey]

I'm so sorry. I completely misunderstood Sister Naomi's post and had no idea that she was still a spinster. (As a matter of interest, how old is she?)

Sister Naomi, if you are reading this, please forgive me. I really did not mean to be so very cruel.

Yours very fondly,
Joanna

An Irishwoman who can read and write? My word. Now I really have seen everything.

Oh, you are so thoughtful, my dear, and so kind to our sweet Sister Naomi. After all, it is not her fault that no man has asked her to marry her; as you say, it is Jesus' will, and He knows what is best for everyone.

Praise !

Yes indeed, I married just after my 18th birthday. I could not do so beforehand. Various legalities prohibited it. Perhaps some women are destined to marry later, perhaps teach in the interim. However my destiny from the Lord was to marry as soon as I could and have children.
