It's quite a process, isn't it?Virginia Knowleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13851255511747838013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131455314616817615.post-41992007981649849562011-10-12T13:06:40.395-04:002011-10-12T13:06:40.395-04:00I loved the 'Patriarchy, meet Matriarchy essay...I loved the 'Patriarchy, meet Matriarchy essay.<br /><br />It was a breath of freshness you discover your blogs together, and lord-willing I'll be able to poke around quite a bit more in days to come. These writings are speaking to my less-articulate hungers and fears living in a church environment that (while not abusive) is distinctly different in world-view/emphasis from me.<br /><br />It is wearying, and an exercise in maintaining sanity to tell myself the same things over and over again, so that the outside voices don't bury me by constant dripping.<br /><br />It seems to be a tricky balance both to acknowledge the hunger (internal *demand* really) to be distinct and active and hear the needs of our children and "role" at home.<br /><br />Peace to you.Amy Jane (UntanglingTales)http://untanglingtales.comnoreply@blogger.com
