Re: I don't feel worthy

With five children, why are you practicing medicine? Who is raising your children?

Plus, it's good for me to keep up my skills in case something happens to my husband and I have to support myself and my five children on my own instead of going on welfare.

I don't practice medicine, thank you. Only medical doctors are permitted to practice medicine.

Who raises my children? I do. Sadly, my husband's job does not pay him enough to pay all our bills, and my working one shift per pay period (every two weeks) allows us to eat more than rice and beans and allows our children to have decent clothes on their backs. My husband decided that it is better for me to work this amount than for him to work a second job and not spend as much time with his children as he would like. All he has to do that one day is feed them breakfast and lunch, play with them (or read, or go for a hike) and make sure they do not injure themselves.

Re: I don't feel worthy

Obvisously, your first husband was wise to dump you before you had a chance to poision him.

On the contrary, I was lucky to escape his wicked ways before he killed me or made me infertile through whatever disease he may have brought home from his girlfriends. He has already been warned of the potential consequences of ever stepping foot on my property or approaching me in any manner. (Thanks be to God that I live in a state that gives me the right to protect myself through any means possible when I feel threatened.)

Proverbs 31
1 The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught him.
2 What, my son? and what, the son of my womb? and what, the son of my vows?
3 Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings.
4 It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink:
5 Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted.
6 Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts.
7 Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.
8 Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction.
9 Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.
10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.

Proverbs 12:4
A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.

Thankfully, this is how my current husband feels about me (and he says the rest of that proverb applies to me as well).

Nurse, thank you. And what exactly is so funny about a woman who is a medical doctor???

Re: I don't feel worthy

Let me guess... this great husband does things more... your sort of way.

Have you given him any sons?

If you mean that he does not sleep with other women, then, yes. If you mean he does not abuse me verbally, physically, or mentally, then yes. If you mean he treats me like I am bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh and respects me as he respects himself, then yes.

Yes, we have sons. Two. And three daughters.

Re: I don't feel worthy

Which husband? The husband who divorced me? He's moved on to his third (or is it his fourth?) wife. Or the husband I have now who loves me like Christ loves the Church? As for me being "flaky", I hope you never have occasion to be my patient. I might make some flaky mistake that ends up causing you ill.

Re: I don't feel worthy

Like most women, this one seems to not be able to commit to Jesus and then wonders why He will not show her the path to True Salvation®.
My heart goes out to her husband. I cannot imagine what it must be like to be around such a flaky female. My wife, Mrs. Hutchins is completely commitable.

Re: I don't feel worthy

Ephesians 5:22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.

So would you also reject the Lord if He displeased you? Let's hope He doesn't tell you to do something you don't want to do then...

Esther 1:22 For he sent letters into all the king's provinces, into every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language, that every man should bear rule in his own house, and that it should be published according to the language of every people.

Then again, he's an unbeliever, so why did I think he would care about something like adultery or murder???

1 Peter 3:1 Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives;

Failed in this duty also... Is there anything about your marriage you didn't screw up?

[WomanAtTheWell]

Re: I don't feel worthy

You think your husband ought to have submitted to you? How dreadful.

I asked him to stop sinning by committing adultery and sleeping with other women. When he refused, I threatened to leave him. Then he threatened to kill me. I guess I should have stayed around and let him put a bullet in my head for being so demanding. Then again, he's an unbeliever, so why did I think he would care about something like adultery or murder???
