I have been a mom for almost 6 weeks now and this is what I have to say about it...
I love it!
When I started dating Garritt I loved being a girlfriend. When I got engaged I loved being a fiance. When I got married I loved being a wife. And now that I have had a baby I love being a mom. All of the aforementioned steps have seemed so natural to me. I think I must have been waiting this whole time to be a mom.
Now I get excited about finding new recipes and making grocery lists to buy everything I need to cook delicious meals. I have no problem (I actually dream about this)with being the ideal 50s, June Cleaver housewife. I find such incredible joy in it. I pray that one day (soon) Garritt and I will be financially able for me to be a full time stay at home mom. I am so far away from being a feminist that I hardly know what it would mean to be one. I love being submissive to my husband. I love cooking my family meals. I absolutely love doing the laundry...this may be due to finally having a working washer/dryer and being over the moon excited to use it. But what I also love is that my husband treats me as an equal and loves me with all the kindness of Christ. If all the feminists in the world had husbands like Christ I doubt they would see the need to be one.
I didn't intend this blog post to be what it has turned into but I'm into it. I started writing this evening to brag about my love of my new darling little son...but it ended up being a proclamation of the Proverbs 31 woman! If you have not read Proverbs 31:10-the end do it now.
What a woman to admire and aim to be like!
God designed me for a purpose and why would I try to flee from the very reason I was made?
Anyways, isn't my son adorable?
