The feminist energy does get drained

When a woman tries to please one man at work and another man at home, her affections become divided, and her feminine beauty becomes hardened. Helen Andelin, in her book, Fascinating Womanhood, poetically reveals what a wife relinquishes if she works outside her home: “The moon, when it moves from its sphere of night into day, loses its luster, its charm, its very poetry.”[138] When a woman’s employments, delights, and ministries are based from her home, she radiates God’s glory as no one else could in her stead. But when a woman invests her energy in a career outside of her home, she loses her feminine luster. In addition, she takes on a double curse—the man’s curse in addition to the woman’s (see Genesis 3:16-19). Andelin continues, “devotion to your household, family, and charity enhances feminine charm, whereas employment outside the home does little or nothing for it.”[139] So, apart from the implication of divided loyalty with two different authorities, even the practical fruit of a woman choosing a career outside her home fails to equal the satisfying glory of homemaking. If you desire to work because you find yourself bored at home, Andelin states, “the problem is that you are buying happiness at the expense of your family. You are putting your desires ahead of their needs. This is never justified.”[140] She goes on to say, “Your child … doesn’t want you to be bright, talented, chic, or smart. … He just wants you to love him. He will be the one who pays the price for your wanting to have it all.”[141] So it is evident that not only does working for another man put a woman in relational compromise, but a career outside the home also does not allow a woman or her family to fully thrive—contrary to what feminists claim.

I've read the book by Helen Andelin as well.  Very good and inspiring book to just be better women not to compete with men.

Link between parents child and parents

The link between parent and child is very strong, and a baby or child easily picks up a parent's feelings. If you feel grumpy, so too will your child. When tension between parents runs high, the emotional effect on the child can be so strong as to disturb energy flow and cause illness. Many cases of asthma in children have been traced back to great tension between the parents. In some instances, parents have been considering a separation, but have not told their children. However, the children have subconsciously detected the tension, which then manifested itself as asthma.
Children may even pick up or "borrow" diseases from their parents. For example, one child with asthma did not respond to any treatments. After some time it was discovered that the mother had a severe lung condition, which she had not revealed. She decided to take treatment herself, and as her condition improved, so did her child's asthma. in the words of an old Chinese saying: "Treat the mother to treat the child."

If the mother needs some repair in the relationship I suggest for medical purposes to invest time in reading "fascinating womanhood pdf" and completing the assignments. I also suggest reading "created to be his helpmete" by Debi Pearl as she explains the difference and balance between the burlesque side of a woman and the faith side of a woman towards a husband quite well.

And They Crucified Him - Art Katz

I want all to listen to this. The tragedy of not wanting to suffer but giving over to self-indugence is destructive to the human spirit.  All things social or psychological have one solution and it isn't by living in humanistic pleasure or attending church for social benefit.  There is joy in suffering and that alone.  Need we suffer in studying truth more written in scripture?.  Psalms proverbs and more.  We do and that is the solution.  Christ said "study the scriptures"  We can only receive joy in this suffering.  SCorners and mockers have their penalty and it strikes like a ware-wolf when no one expects it.  If I've given over to the scorn then I will have to take the penalty for such.

Faith or Burlesque which one??

The burlesque of life will always "pop" up out the middle of nowhere it seems.  I have family members and in-laws some close cousins others at a distance who give in to the burlesque completely without marriage.  I'm now at the age of getting closer to 30 and I still see girls fall for the burlesque lifestyle rather than finding strength in God's word.  I'm married and have three children.  When I attended college I was friends with girls who attended hollywood runways and party life.  I studied mathematics while being surrounded in an entire classroom with guys so my father never encouraged me to be a wall-flower.
So how do you balance this faith in scripture (of any language) and not getting to the point where a person becomes religious and scornful??
As a point that I like to emphasize is that the psalms and proverbs are still useful for today.  Psalm 119 is designed to help a person cope with the pressures of life and joyfully choose the blessings of God and study his word rather than the fleshly ways of temptation.  Psalm 119 is an acrostic (complete) poem for the love of God's law.  Successful and influential people in history have memorized Psalm 119 (slavery abolished in Europe without weapons of war thanks to a man who memorized).  In Jesus' day, the first portion of scripture children were taught to memorize was Psalm 119!.  Reading 5 psalms, 1 proverb each day according to day of month can challenge psychological and social understanding.
We live in a day where the church gives in-to the burlesque too easily and rely's on it for strength.  This is a deception.  It is ONLY for within the walls of marriage and thats it.  Anything else leads to slavery of the body and destruction of the next generation.
Keep in mind I have also met a homeschool mother who denied the "need" for the burlesque and ended up divorced and very religious yet with many children.  I spoke with her for a while but then she called police officers and started yelling as if mentally ill so I had to leave her presence as I wasn't "clean" enough to be around her supposedly.
As a side note I grew up in a Norwegian American household and as such Norwegian Scandinavian Christians went through persecution in the early days.  Norwegian's don't necessarily support or emphasize the need for the American constitution or laws even today yet at times they still do.  I'd like my kids to have knowledge of Norwegian stories as well as the biblical ones.  Some neighbor norwegian relative guys attended public school but still come back "dumb" and unable to read.  Their intelligence is in farming and thats it.

So my question as a whole like I said before......how does a woman balance faith and the burlesque??

Applesauce Needs Sugar

With the single exception of the Great Depression of the 1930's, no other financial depression America has ever experienced was worse than the Panic of 1896. It started when far-off India switched its coinage of silver to gold, an act that sent Westen mining stocks and silver, especially, plunging. Within six months,t eh silver dollar was worth only sixty cents, Treasury gold reserves had dropped to a paltry 80 million dollars, over six hundred banks were forced to close their doors, seventy four railroads collapsed and declared bankruptcy, and thousands of businesses failed.
It was in that bleak economic setting that this poignant story was born. Papa with no job, Moma with no food for their growing family, no government or state aide or food stamps-- what was a mother to do?

The Hammonds were living in Texas when they had the sugar shortage back in '96. It was their own personal shortage, and they were short of every thing, so they lived three weeks on cornmeal mush, but it was the sugar the children remembered best, because Mama prayed for sugar. She would never pray for anything she could get any other way, and she didn't mention bacon or fresh meat or milk or even a job for Papa, because the sugar meant something special. If angels up in heaven didn't know what sugar was, they certainly must have been curious by the time Mama got through.

The family was really Canadian, but the panic had hit Papa while he was doing some building in Nebraska, and there weren't any relief offices then and no way to turn. He too to selling books and some how got down to Texas with the children and couldn't get back. The he got the Texas fever, and it hung on for almost a year, so he was simply beat and discouraged at the end, and no use talking to him.

The house they lived in was somewhere around Dallas. It wasn't in the city but outside where a man could get a shack for most nothing, and nobody would bother to put him out when he couldn't pay rent. Mama had grown a big garden, but it was all gone by fall, and she'd made crayon portraits and done some dressmaking. Mostly the neghbors were as bad off as she was, so all they gave her for pay was cornmeal. She didn't go away from the house any more bcause of her condition. The children didn't know what that meant, but they supposed it was the same reason the older ones couldn't go to school and had their lessons at home.

It was papa who talked about starvation after they'd got down to cornmeal mush. The children heard him in the night. "What are we going to do?" He'd say it over and over, as it he hurt inside and was angry too. "What are we going to do? We've got five children, if your remember, and there are two men out of work for every man working."

Moma answered low and quiet,"We've got to have faith, Papa. People are given their brains so they'll look to themselves as best they can. Then, when we go as far as we can, we'll get help."

Notes from the above story. In this day in age we still have to have that faith. Relying on the govt' to help is actually a form of stealing in God's eyes! Nazi Germany was a state funded food govt' before disaster too over.

We need to have faith to follow Christ alone. We need to use our brains to learn about all the foods God does supply us with for free in the form of wild edible foods. We also need to know how to have good Character to work with people and produce a faith that lives in truth in community.

Story from Mom in my heart by Joe L Wheeler

Finding hope in truth is the first place to start as I have heard of other families who also live off of cornmeal even in America today
