My heart went out to you when I read ...Dear Jenny,<br /><br />My heart went out to you when I read that you were forced out of your childhood home. And now you have the faith, a husband, a home, and six children (I looked at your profile)! How wonderful! May God continue to bless you.Wendy Haughthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03224112973689131637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1102126498629529342.post-88345914330857682782010-05-27T09:44:54.869-05:002010-05-27T09:44:54.869-05:00Thank you for such a counter-cultural post that is...Thank you for such a counter-cultural post that is right on the mark. I was forced out after graduation and left on my own basically. Being an 18 year old in the world with an incomplete moral compass was not good. I was only a child and still needed fatherly protection (well, if I would have had it at home, I would not have been forced out). I believe a girl should be under the authority of her father until she comes under the authority of her husband. St Paul says we are the weaker sex, not to be demeaning, but as a word of caution. The serpent went to Eve, not Adam.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01680470602835526738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1102126498629529342.post-91970044098706601372010-05-25T11:21:58.078-05:002010-05-25T11:21:58.078-05:00Dear Emily,

I try my very best and I know I came far better prepared than some, but that doesn't make me perfect. I am very rarely satisfied with my performance. I know I'm a perfectionist and I just have to let some things go. Anyway, I am honoured to be considered a model to a lovely young lady like Emma. I hope she learns something from me-maybe it will just be that no matter how prepared you are, you will never be as perfect as you thought because we are all only human.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05117120475033380036noreply@blogger.com
