I am so grateful for your perspective :-) <br />I actually subscribed to your Hope Chest for some time (I unsubbed from it and most of the emails I subscribed to a while ago - too many distractions in my inbox!), but always enjoyed it. <br />With 6 kids 10-20, and homeschooled for 15 years (with older kids going to school for the final 2 years), I can relate to so much here. <br />I was an avid reader of momys and the titus 2 stuff years ago, and own a variety of books (including the Raising Maidens of Virtue - which my girls hate! - and When Sparrows Fall). <br />Such a journey for me too of watching the patriarchy movement move from possibly good intentions to scary. <br />Here is Australia, we are somewhat removed from that culture, and my own very healthy Christian upbringing and faith meant that I have chewed the meat, spat out the bones and enjoyed pondering along the way :-) <br />Anyway, I just wanted to say hi keep up your writing - so lovely to see your family all growing up!Simonenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131455314616817615.post-34062392305686671452014-04-14T13:51:57.930-04:002014-04-14T13:51:57.930-04:00We were also members of a Sovereign Grace Ministri...We were also members of a Sovereign Grace Ministries church for 8 years.Virginia Knowleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13851255511747838013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131455314616817615.post-86605653492881222492013-11-08T06:25:30.737-05:002013-11-08T06:25:30.737-05:00Yes, Holly.

I knew many of the main GCI leaders, and also was an employee - computer programmer working from home.

I have been doing missions overseas for three years, and I grew up in the QF/Christian Patriarchy homeschool movement. I'm still "sorting" it all out. Many blessings.
