as a newlywed... and a new wife... I often laugh when I find myself doing something I never really thought about as something I would ENJOY.
Like when I do our laundry, wash his clothes, wash the sheets and towels...Like when I vacuum or clean the kitchen...Oh, but I always knew I'd love the cooking & baking...
But there's more - a desire to be a biblical wife (and mother someday)... so there's reading about and studying things like submission, what a Christian home looks like, and praying for God's strength to raise children in this world someday. I was blessed to come to know Christ before college ended. In those 2 years, in that small town, in that wonderful church, I learned about God & Christian homes and I saw it modeled by Christian husbands & wives in the church... by biblical women.
I am ever-grateful for those friends who became family, the 2 years there and the 5+ that have followed, as now I watch them from afar and continue to learn...
One thing I am certain of - I cannot do any of this without God, His grace or help.
My hope and prayer is to someday be like the older woman discussed in Titus:

"older women likewise, that they be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things— that they admonish the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, homemakers, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed. " Titus 2:3-5
