Learning Before Motherhood

Before we begin The Christian Motherhood Series, I would like to take a moment to address the young daughters, single gals and married women without children who read this blog. I want to warmly welcome you to this series and wanted to let you know that this topic is just as much for you.

In fact, this is an excellent time to begin learning some of the ins and outs of motherhood and marriage--to gain a vision for your 'hopefully-one-day-to-be' family and to learn to view the world in a biblical worldview from a Christian female perspective.

A wise lady could and should use her time to learn how to cook, care for a home, study marriage, learn scripture, care for children as much as she can before she is married. Hopefully she has had a mother or other role model to teach her these things. If not, then there are plenty of resources out there to teach ourselves--even after we are married with children--and praise God for He has once again provided a way for us and will equip us for what He has called us to do. We are always learning and should never feel that we have 'arrived' on any topic.

And if you already are a Christian mother here today, I urge you to teach your daughters at a young age to look forward to marriage and motherhood as God has designed us this way and to teach them what they need to know. Too often I hear of women who were totally incapable of the simplest cares of marriage and homemaking, sadly, because they were not taught. Let's break that cycle and teach this generation what they need to know and properly equip them for life.

So I encourage you all to join us as we begin this journey to feel comfortable here knowing this is being written just as much for you gals in the pre-motherhood stage, as well as for the mom with many children.

Now onto our series...
