Simple Living in the Coutry
Yesterday, we asked you to consider your clothing, and simplify the way you dress, and to prepare to get out of society, for wickedness abounds just as God has said it would, and we are told to come out of her, plenty of times in the bible.
So what can a Christian lady do ? Leave college ? Well, certainly you planned on doing that anyway at some point, with a degree, though it might be worth considering if you really need that degree. Did you ever think about the fact that a career is nothing but indentured servitude, nothing but selling yourself to someone and "slaving away" for them, instead of giving your energy and creativity to your own family ? Will your degree help your family grow into a strong godly family, lead by a responsible and godly husband ? Will your degree help you be a good help meet to your husband, a good mother to your children, a good home schooler for them ? Just some thoughts to consider while sitting there in class...
So when you are ready finally to leave college, one way or the other, where are you going to live ?
We at Joshuah's House think that the countryside is certainly the best place to live for a multi-generational, plural marriage family with many children, preferably mountainous and far off from "civilization", i.e., the filth of modern day society. Self sufficiency is an important factor here, starting with simplicity of housing, life style and clothing, and growing your own food to a large degree - your experiences with growing tomatoes and peppers will come in handy.
Animals are another aspect of country life, though we are not about to have lots of life stock. But our children will certainly grow up with puppies and kittens, and a chicken as their friend. What better environment for teaching them to love God and stand in awe of His creation, what better environment for home schooling, for growing up to be a healthy, strong and responsible adult ?
Isn't that what we all wish most for our children, that they may live their life well under God's protection, following His word so that it might be well with them ? Isn't that where our future lies, in our children?
Come join us at Joshuah's House, contact us, talk to us, and see if the life we are proposing is the right choice for you.
