However, it is not, some of could not make the truck payment, house payment,
not to mention the food payment. I would much rather feed my children then
unwisely (as in my particular case it would be unwise at this time) stay
home. My husband does not make the type of income that is tolerant of my
not working. Frankly I am prayng that one day my church can afford to pay
me (as pastor's vision says it will) so that I can have more time with my
children. Some of us have juggling act God, Family, Ministry, PTA,
Children's Activities Director.
I am sorry if my life does not meet with your expectations, however, Ruth
worked in the field and was praised for her grace and diligence. My field
happens to be a law firm, where I try to be graceful and show a christina
lifestyle.

Kelly,
Don't apologize for what you have to do. They aren't my expectations of you,
they're my expectations of ME! Providing for my family is my responsibility,
not my wife's - her responsibility is the home and the children. That's OUR
choice base on our combined 66 years of learning (she's 31, I'm 35).
But, the worlds standards have changed too - women working when NECESSARY has
never been an issue but it is commonplace for mothers to work today and that
is a BIG part of the problem with our society - too many kids are raised by
strangers.
BTW, Ruth was single and looking for a husband when she was working in the
field! <VBG> :>)
