::Earth-Shattering Distinctives::

We feel that our cause is just and holy; we protest solemnly in the face of mankind that we desire peace at any sacrifice save that of honor and independence; we seek no conquest, no aggrandisement, no concession of any kind from the States with which we were lately confederated; all we ask is to be left alone... ~ President Jefferson Davis

Happy Valentine's Day! A Tribute To Husbands

My hubby loves me all year round and I'm so thankful to have him every day of the year! Our husbands are so precious. They fix cars, light fixtures, computers and appliances; build furniture and other structures; teach theology, minister in the gates, barbeque (as well as other types of cooking when we're too tired), mow the lawn, do landscaping and so much more. To God-fearing husbands and familial government! May Christ's Everlasting Earth-Shattering Kingdom expand through the headship of godly husbands!

Burkeley of Contra Tyrannos Knows His Japanese!

Yesterday my friend Burkeley left a comment, giving me possible corrections to my "blog" in Japanese guess. Wouldn't you know, after looking at some pretty strange sites, I found the katakana and it translates to "burogu" as Burkeley guessed. Banzai, Burkeley!

Content to Fill a Little Space

"I ask Thee for the daily strength
to none that ask denied
a mind to blend with outward life
while keeping at Thy side
content to fill a little space
if Thou be glorified"

This verse is taken from the hymn, "Father I Know that All My Life" by Anna L. Waring. This hymn is often sung at our OPC women's retreats, and this particular verse always stands out to me.

As women, we are told anything by the world today but to be content occupying a little space. Our media in fact goes out of its way to speak to our sin nature and make sure we are discontent with our bodies, husbands, children, income, homes, careers, education, ad nauseum ad infinitum.

I'm not a particularly extroverted person. Having to speak in front of our congregation at Sunday School to give my 4th-6th grade Sunday School report or even play the piano during service gives me butterflies. I just don't like it. However, all of this does not mean that inside I don't rail against the phrase, "content to fill a little space." I do! I want recognition and accalades! I want things my way! I want to be noticed for my gifts! What if I feel like taking up a big space, thank you very much!

We all know what our little spaces are: being homemakers when people ask us, "Aren't you going to find a 'job' so you can use your degree? You're so smart!" "Aren't you going to go back and get your Master's? It's only two more years!"; teaching toddler Sunday School, when we'd rather teach older children; being content with our three bedroom home when what we'd really like is six bedrooms; having only three out of 20 women show up at our homes for a women's meeting, etc, etc...

We are called to contentment... to fill God's ordained little spaces, knowing that He is our portion; and within the context of our numbered hairs and numbered days, He is our fulfillment.

It's tough, but I'm learning!
