My Mission

There is a purpose for this blog. I LOVE to write, although most often find myself thinking up ideas....for homeschooling my children! Not personal writing! I have always enjoyed writing, however, and I believe that God gives people a gift for writing, for a purpose. I don't think I am extremely gifted, but simply have the gift of loving to write - there is a difference, and although I can't begin to understand it, I know there are people out there who do not enjoy writing, so it must come from the Lord.

I already have had an enjoyable experience blogging over at No Greater Honor, which I plan to continue, but that is geared toward homeschooling. When I began to blog under that name, I wasn't sure where I would go with it, and that's ultimately where it has ended up. If you want to know more about our life of teaching our children in the home, I would love for you to check it out there! However, I want to write for the Lord. He gave me this joy, and I would like to use it to turn people's hearts toward Him. He also gave me 'God's Highest Calling For A Christian Lady' - the experience of being a wife, mother, and keeper at home.  This is something that, in today's world, is highly overlooked. I know there are many blogs out there, it seems, that praise being a keeper at home, but truly, they are just a drop in the bucket. I would really love to be a blessing and encouragement to other wives and mothers, and an honor to my God most of all. 

So with A Higher Calling, I would love to share little bits and pieces of my life as a wife and mother, not because I am something special, but because I serve a God who is EVERYTHING special. Maybe by sharing some things that go on here from time to time, and how God uses them to make me a better wife and mother, it will not only help remind me of what I am striving to be - that Proverbs 31 woman - but also be a help to someone along the way. I am NOT, however, out to preach to you. It is possible that from time to time, I may share some of my own personal convictions and standards (I know - that scary 's' word that abides in a christian's life - it's not as bad as you think!) I will not, however, tell you what you should be doing. That, too, is not my place - I will openly be glad to share why I have made some of the decisions I have made, and why I train my children the way I do. It is your decision, and between you and the Lord, what you do in your home and life, though. I am NOT out to tell a man how to run his home, and if the day ever comes that I find myself even trying, I hope anyone who reads this will let me know. That will be the end of this blog! God has not given me the place to do so, and I will not try to pick that up. My prayer is simply to be a blessing to other women, walking some of the same roads that I am walking in life. I hope that if you are reading this, you find help, encouragement, a friend, and that you can see that through the ups and downs of life, God is still good, ALL THE TIME!

 Titus 2: 3-5  The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children. To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
