My teenage liberation began at age 16. In a very unconventional way, i
became pregnant and got married. I got a real life and real education.
Mother hood was just what i needed. I t fulfilled my nurturing
instincts. And i learned by living, making mistakes along the way. My
children are now teenagers them selves, while i wouldn't want my
daughter to start so young as i did, I commend her for wanting to be a
wife and mother when she 'grows up'. Its an excellent choice for a young
woman to make. We need more loving, nurturing, content stay at home
moms. But who says it so wrong to be a mother at 16, now i don't condone
premarital sex and it's much nicer to have a spouse to help with raising
children. But if a young couple wants to marry and start a family whats
to stop them. If one wanted to do any other job there wouldn't be much
to hold them back if they were educated in that line. Are ya'll
following me?
We are a diverse group, we home/un schoolers, and have much to offer
the world and each other.
We can give each other new ideas and the support we need.
And yes i do believe in marrige and the traditional family unit, i am a
follower of Jesus and believe his ways are best. And I would never have
'made it' with out Him to guide me in my decisions.
I enjoy everyone one and though i don't agree with the choices some make
in thier lives it doesn't mean i can't be their friend. And if one thing
in their life is against what i believe it doesn't mean the rest of them
is fouled, we have much to offer one another. We have choices. Jesus
gave us that gift of choice in creation. He doesn't want us to love and
serve him
because we have to but because we want to.
ok, i'm done, i think....thanks Deborah

Expressions of tolerance from the Christian folk out there are very welcome
and greatly appreciated. The willingness to be "friends" with people who
make choices with which you disagree is truly a virtue. I also think of it
as Christian in what I consider the "best" sense of the word.
