#32 Watch My Daughter Embrace Her Purpose as a Woman as She Plays with Her Toys and Pretends to be Mommy, not Beyonce

My desire to be a housewife comes from my desire to....

Watch my daughter embrace her purpose as a woman as she plays with her toys and pretends to be Mommy, not Beyonce.

Yesterday, I took the time to browse through a few of the blogs that I recently subscribed to for updates.  I came across a very popular blog My Brown Baby and couldn't help but to read through  the entire post about padded bras for preteen girls.

What? I was appalled to say the least.  Are we that warped in our societal minds that we have subconciously began to sexualize our young girls.  Why would we want to cause attention to the underdeveloped breasts of a 10 year old child?

As I asked myself these questions, I wondered what really could be done.  In the blogworld especially, we often vent about our frustrations with the outside world and take no action.  The next generation hasn't even reached puberty and they are already being exposed to the schemes of the enemy.  Who is the enemy, you ask?  It's anyone who claims indifference and turns a blind eye to padded bras.

I refuse to be one of those people.  I am now in prayer as to what the Lord would have me to do.  I am asking that each of you do the same...Whether you have a 3 month old daughter or a niece that's 22.  We need to take a stand.  Like the saying goes, "If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything".  What are you falling for?

I thank God that when my daughter is here, her role model will be me.  I will not allow her to be desensitized to the perversity of the media and pop culture.  What she watches, wears, hears, and eats will be monitored by myself and her father.  No excuses.  If my selfish desires and career advancement prevents me from covering her, I will have to answer to God when I am judged.

Take some time to cover your children in prayer today, unborn and born.  I declare that they will desire to be like you (godly, virtuous and full of integrity) and not like the icons of the world.

#74 Enjoy The Sun

My desire to be a housewife comes from my desire to....

ENJOY THE SUN.  I will admit that I am one of those women who walks outside with sunglasses in hand and immediately covers my eyes from the harsh brightness of the sun.  Especially during the winter months when I was working full time.  There were days when the sun and I had little interaction with one another.  From this growing seperation, when I do see the sun, he and I refuse to spend quality time with one another (mostly on my part).  Who? Me? Stand outside and be tortured by his violent rays?  Absolutely not!  I undeniably need him though.  He gives me nutrients like Vitamin D and warms my skin.  However, for me it's like laying in the bed in complete darkness and having someone come in and turn on the lights.  Unwelcoming.  A nuisance.  Debilitating.

I miss the days of my youth when even though I was warned on several occassions not to, tried my best to stare at the sun.  Nowadays, I can barely stare at the reflection of the sun in a puddle of water.  It's sad, but true.  I am convinced that if I am a stay-at-home mom and entreprenuer that my relationship with the sun will be strengthened and unbreakable.  Oh, to the day when I will be daring enough to rebelliously stare at the sun again and leave my over-priced sunglasses in the house!

"Housewife-isms"

My desire to be a urban housewife/entreprenuer stems from a long list of what I like to call HOUSEWIFE-ISMS....108 of them to be exact.  From time to time, I would like to share with you some of my reasons and elaborate on them.  You may be able to relate. 

Included with my 108 personal desires for leading the life of a homemaker will be...RECIPES, ADVICE, PERSONAL EXPERIENCES, PRODUCT RECOMMENDATIONS, CRAFT PROJECTS, SCRIPTURES, AND RELEVANT EVENT DATES.

I look forward to sharing with you the desires of my heart!
