Women in the Workforce?

This sister's testimony was very inspiring - it is here:


Single Moms for God- Thy Maker is Thine Husband: Interesting Article on The Perception of Women and Managment


This was my reply comment:
You are very right, you know. Sister - you are right. I have to read that article, but wanted to let you know that there are women out there in the workforce who aren't "that" woman who turns her nose up at homemakers - in fact, we rue that we ARENT one. But, sadly, I cant tell you how many lunchroom or cubicle discussions Ive been in that have "turned" into stay-at-home-wife bashing. That is one thing at work I cannot keep quiet on - I've often defended homemakers to other women - and will continue.

I also once read an article (I'd be really amused if it is same article you quote above), that shows by numbers that with the young educated women of today (yes, even the worldy-wise women), there is a significant Feminist Backlash, and these women value staying at home far above their "Feminist Movement" mothers. They say it is because the young woman of today is Yesterday's Latchkey child, and in her heart, she watched her mother leave her alone at home and work herself to the bone in the work force - and for what?

It was a very good read. Thanks for the note, the article, and for the saved life and testimony. Keep on pressing on and praising God.

Our-Kansas?

Sooo....went to Arkansas. SOO good. SO good. Funny how I never really want to go because the crowds are overwhelming to me - this time around it was far more cozy, with fewer people, although there were many congregations in attendendance. It was almost familial. I felt....a part. I felt....like I got to know the saints better. I....learned things about people in my OWN congregation that I had never known! You know - older people are really amazing. Just when you think you know everything about them, they pop out with some other obscure experience you never knew they had. I tell you - sometimes I think they keep stuff back just to whip it out when you least expect it:

I rest my case. Point being: I learned interesting and cool facts about the saints - it made me feel closer to them somehow. It was great.

My Color Quiz Results. So true. So true!

Your Existing Situation
Volatile and outgoing. Needs to feel that events are developing along desired lines, otherwise irritation can lead to changeability or superficial activities.

Your Stress Sources
An existing situation or relationship is unsatisfactory, but she feels unable to improve it without willing cooperation. Unwilling to expose her vulnerability and therefore considers it inadvisable to display affection or to be over-demonstrative. She regards the relationship as a depressing tie but, although she wants to be independent and unhampered, she does not want to risk losing anything. All this leads her to react touchily and with impatience, while the urge to 'get away from it all' results in considerable restlessness. The ability to concentrate may suffer.

Your Restrained Characteristics
Willing to become emotionally involved.

Your Desired Objective
Wants to make a favorable impression and be rewarded as a special personality. Is therefore constantly on the watch to see whether she is succeeding in this and how others are reacting to her. this makes her feel that she is in control. Uses tactics cleverly in order to obtain influence and special recognition. Susceptible to the esthetic or original.

Your Actual Problem
Seeks to avoid criticism and to prevent restriction of her freedom to act, and to decide for herself by the exercise of great personal charm in her dealings with others.

Your Actual Problem #2
Anxiety and a restless dissatisfaction, either with circumstances or with unfulfilled emotional requirements, have produced considerable stress. She tries to escape into an idealized atmosphere of sympathy and understanding, or into a substitute environment of estheticism and beauty.
