Blog Worth Seeing

I know I have posted about this blog before, and I know I have a link to the right on my blog, but I just can't help myself. You HAVE to check out Mia's blog HERE called An Aspiring Homemaker. I absolutely LOVE it.

Child's Love

I just watched Julie & Julia again and can’t tell you how impressed I was. First of all, Meryl Streep is just amazing. How she is able to take on the personalities of other people so well, I just don’t know.

Julia Child was a fascinating lady! The love that she and her husband had for each other is depicted in such a wonderful way in the movie. And after seeing so many movies where men are played as completely nincompoops or bungling idiots, it was refreshing to see a husband played as the complete opposite. In a strange way, the way the movie explained Julia and Paul Child’s love and relationship gave me hope for love myself. In Hollywood and in magazines it is so easy to get caught up in the idea that only the beautiful people are happy or find love. But you see, Julia Child was not a pretty woman and was not physically perfect. She was extremely tall woman at least 6’2, while her husband was 5’11. But he fell completely and totally in love with her. They were happily married until his death at 91 years old!

Now that’s love!

Makes Me Think

I have been torn about the birth control issue for years. There are many persuasive arguments for it and many against it. And let me be clear, I am not talking about birth control that is any kind of aborificant such as the pill, IUD, etc. Those are unacceptable, since they can and do cause a woman’s body to self abort a fertilized egg.

This is a very thought provoking blog post from someone else here that has given me pause.

Mind you, birth control is not an issue for me at the moment, as I am not married. Also, a key component is how my future husband would feel about it, and would be clearly discussed before marriage to see how we both felt.

Too often we try to grab control of our lives out of God’s hands and decide what is best for us. Is our Great God too weak to decided on how many children we each have? Should we pray and let God lead us in the decision of how may to have or not to have?

See?!? Torn. =/

Isaiah 50:2

Wherefore, when I came, was there no man? when I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stinketh, because there is no water, and dieth for thirst.
