I am up waaaay too early. Thomas my Noonan’s/Aspergers 3yo woke me at 3:30am. He was playing and having a ball in his room. SIGH Now I cannot go to sleep and I must get the other children going by 6am. Just another day in Paradise. Make me wonder what my life would be like if I had followed a path I headed down 15 years ago. I got very involved in the Feminist movement when I was in College.

Several of us had the experience of seeing what the world thinks of large Home Schooling families. Oreo Souza pointed out a blog by a woman who railed against the Duggar family. Comparing the family to a Sow and a littler of Pigs. I will not share the URL, b/c this poor, little, lost gal has gotten enough attention from it. Against my better judgment, which is how I operate far too often, I jumped in the discussion.

It does not surprise me one bit how ugly and vile many of the posts were. How many hate-filled and shame full and intolerant things were said in attempts to be witty. I have said in the past if women who calls themselves Christian Feminists really knew what was going on amongst the uber-liberal, secular feminists they would run fleeing. Hate, racism, genocide is all their agenda. Those Feminist want women like me and you not only barred from worshipping God, but banned from having children or living in a God given hetero-sexual marriage. It is so right out of the pit of Hell. I saw so much of it when I was in College, that nothing this woman or her posters had to say surprised me. You can respond to them in love all day and they spew hate right back. I had to shake the dust off my sandals and walk away from their very hard hearts. I could no longer cast my pearls before swine. Funny how she used a picture of pigs. How appropriate it turned out to be.

This is the world of today. The word that keeps running across my mind is DIGNITY. Something these liberated women have not only lost themselves but can not tolerate others having it. My heart aches for them. So lost, angry and uninformed and un-educated. I was wondering why I even got involved in the nonsense over on her blog. I know now. I will be praying for a woman named Amy, Mother of 2. May God draw her closer, may he soften her heart. May she surrender her life to His. She can not pray I become a liberal feminist b/c she has no faith. But I can and will pray for her to become a mighty woman of God. May God restore her dignity.

So I face my day, lack of sleep and 3 little boys 3 and under. No matter how my day goes. How much laundry gets done how chaotic grocery shopping with 3 toddlers may be I know my Heavenly Father. In following Him there is dignity, but primarily there is joy. I really do live in Paradise!
