Biblical Womanhood Together

My girls and I want to thank you for all your encouragement about our new home. We’re so glad you like it!  

We’ve thought a lot lately, as we’ve worked on this new site, about why we do this—why we blog about biblical womanhood. Today we received an email from a young woman in Belgium. She is a fresh reminder of why we try to do our measly bit. “I so much enjoy girltalk…” she writes:

“I try, in some ways, to pass on the joy of submitting to God’s Word and being a biblical woman around here. But until now, I am quite alone in this, except for my mom.

The few young people in church think that passages such as 1 Timothy 2 are woman-unfriendly, tied to the culture back then. At a recent conference I attended, the few sessions directed to women were all advocating for egalitarianism. I felt sad, of course

In a friendly way, I try to paint the picture of [biblical womanhood], but until now, no one has followed in that path. But I will try to be a faithful woman of God’s Word and hope others will want to become like that too when they see me living it out.

So once again thank you so much for taking the time to blog your wise counsel and adventures!”

We want this young woman to know that she is not at all “alone in this.” We want to encourage her to continue to be faithful to obey God’s Word and keep “living out” biblical womanhood. Most of all, we want to remind her—and all of you—of the hope, strength and encouragement to be found in Jesus Christ.

And you all do the same for us. Your encouragement spurs us on, your passion to obey God’s Word inspires us, and your example of biblical womanhood humbles us.

So thank you for taking a seat at our kitchen table and joining in the conversation. It’s such a blessing for us to have you here (and more fun too!). Most of all, thank you for doing your measly bit to “adorn the gospel of God our Savior.” We are grateful.
