I have moments I don’t feel equipped, and I think a lot about Moses.

I have moments I don’t feel I could be forgiven, and I think about Paul.

I have moments I worry about being hated, and I think about Jesus.

He will do it.

Feminism is full of lies: being a "boss babe" won't fulfill most of us, birth control harms your body and no, it doesn't heal you, it just cover the problem, like a band aid, children are not a burden, but a blessing, men aren't oppressing you, you can't find total equality for things that aren't equal.

Don't belive that man aren't needed. Man work jobs that most feminist don't want to work in: building, mines, military....

It is not backwards, oppressive or misogynistic to realize that all of these things are true.

Embrace your true essence

The 3 pillars of femininity- nourish, edify and beautify

Nourishing:

The essence of femininity. Providing the conditions so that people can live well. The woman provides what is essential for life to be born and to continue its natural flow. She does this for her children, her husband, her friends and everyone around her. This is the nature of women, human beings are only born after being nourished by a woman during pregnancy. And it is this same nutritious essence that provides the essentials for life to continue at its best. A woman connected with her femininity will make her presence be exactly that to those around her. She is the means for life to flow naturally, she is the guarantee that everyone has a firm rearguard to return to. She nurtures by creating an environment of love and peace for her husband, children and friends. She nourishes by being that point of light in the middle of the darkness. She does this through words of affirmation that uplift, through physical touch that reaffirms love and renews emotional bonds, thoughtful acts of service that make life easier for the whole.

Edifying:

Creating the conditions so that people can live better. While nurturing is giving enough for life, edifying is more than that. It's leading to virtue, it's leading people to their most dignified and highest potential. And this is also a woman's nature. For this reason, it is possible to say that yes, the human being is only born through a woman, but more than that, the human being only reaches its best version through a woman. It is this same edifying essence that sees the potential and prepares the way, points the direction and provides the tools so that this potential can happen. The woman does this by establishing a routine that works and allows everyone to develop intellectually, emotionally and spiritually. The woman does this by being completeness, peace, and an encouragement to do what is right for the man. A woman does this when, through small actions, she sees the formation of a great character in the future. But can you understand that you can only edify, think of the future when people are nourished? For example if a child is starving, will you worry about forming great virtues on them or the first thing you will do is make sure they doesn' suffer from hunger? In relationships, in financial life it's the same thing. A woman won't think of marriage if the dating is not going well. Before you can build the people around you, you need to learn how to nurture them.

Beautify:

The prettiest and most feminine of all. The third pillar. Beautifying is seeking to make everything around you perfect, including yourself. The feminine points the direction of that which is harmonious, ordered and perfect. In other words, a woman beautifies when she makes everything around her become a living reminder of her creator. And it is impossible to do this before nourishing and building.

There should be housewife school where they teach women how to cook, clean, sew, budget, garden, take care of children, etiquette, fitness, fashion, and beauty. Not all girls have mothers and grandmothers to teach them. 🥞🧸

Homemaking tip:

Get dressed and ready everyday. When I treat homemaking as an actual job, with a loose schedule and uniform, it helps me to really focus on my tasks and to see the value in them. I personally no longer wear leggings, I prefer to only wear skirts and dresses, that has become my uniform and I feel more productive when wearing it.

I enjoy doing housework, ironing, washing, cooking, dishwashing. Whenever I get one of those questionnaires and they ask what is your profession, I always put down housewife. It's an admirable profession, why apologize for it? You aren't stupid because you're a housewife. When you're stirring the jam you can read Shakespeare.

Take care of the family God has given you.

Part of me waited to feel like I had a "family" because it wouldn't feel official until my husband and I had a child of our own. I'm learning to feel blessed with the family God has given me in this season of my life, and take care of them how I would take care of my familial ideal.

My husband and I recently moved into a new home, and my sister in law and her husband are renting the spare room from us. Since we've all moved in together I've learned how much I enjoy taking care of everyone, from cooking, to cleaning, to encouraging their ambitions. I never expected this to be the case, but God has truly opened my eyes to how a Christian woman can be a homemaker even when she has no children.

This might look different for you. Perhaps you an adult daughter still living with her parents and siblings. Take care of them. Perhaps you are a college student with roommates. Take care of them. Perhaps you live alone in an apartment complex, but have many elderly neighbors on your floor. Invite them to dinner, and take care of them.

God is faithful to lead us to a community, but sometimes we get distracted by the fact that it isn't the ideal we see for ourselves, and overlook our ability to serve and love them nonetheless. I've been thinking a lot about how I would feel if I found out we would never be able to have kids — and whether I could be happy homemaking for a family that didn't consist of my children.

I think I could, but this realization has come only through God opening my eyes to the fact that we are all His children, brothers and sisters in Christ — family by default, and all responsible to serve one another.

A relationship that’s 50/50:

He works, pays all the bills, protects & loves me… while I cook, clean, tend to & love him.

The beauty of home altars ✝️🤍

Welcome to my blog!! 🎀💒

Here I’ll be posting anything related to traditional living, femininity, homemaking, cottagecore, homesteading, Christian living, and all things vintage.

I’ve had tumblr blogs in the past, but I wanted to make this brand new one to find a different community that I connect to.

Now about me! Mainly my religious journey, but it’s entirely defined who I am, so my apologies in advance 💕🧺

I’ve lived in sin my entire life so far. I am 20 years old, and up until I was 18, I was very far gone. (I’m going to censor certain words so I don’t reach those communities) I was practicing w!tchcraft, p4ganism, even s4tan!sm. My entire family was the exact same way, in fact all of the women in my family all practice w!tchcraft. I was never even exposed to the bible, Jesus, or God. Along with those, I went through all the motions of believing I was a different gender, or interested in the same sex. I am not, and I realize now how much society and just my generation around me had manipulated me to the point I seriously believed I was.

When I was 18 and finally free of my home life, I got my first job, and that’s where I met my now fiancé. He has been a devout christian his entire life, and even though we had such different mindsets when we met, we fell in love and he knew he had to save me. I am forever grateful to God for bringing him to me, and me to him.

I started reading a study Bible, and once I finished that, I went to read the entire Bible start to finish. My entire life changed and I had suddenly felt truly happy for the first time in my life. Before I found God, I struggled with anxiety, depression, and even suspected I had other worse mental disorders because I just felt so sick in the head. I feel none of that now, and it’s all because of Him.

We’ve been together for two years, and this year God blessed us with a welcome surprise, our first child. I’m currently 13 weeks pregnant as I make this post! Just before we found out he proposed, and we are so excited to create a traditional and Godly life for our new family.

I’m still repenting for all of the sins of my past, and I strive to become closer and closer with God every single day. I want my lifestyle to reflect his vision, while also enjoying myself and my newfound femininity. I spent so long thinking I needed to play the same role as a man, and I’ve never felt so free as I do now!

Sorry sorry sorry for that whole tangent, I doubt anyone actually cares!! I hope I can find likeminded people on here, as I haven’t had much luck anywhere else 💕✝️🌷

“If you want to be a housewife you’re a victim of the patriarchy!”

Oh just wait until they find out I’d do the exact same for a woman.

absolutely love this!
