A748px-Franz_Xaver_Winterhalter_Family_of_Queen_Victorias wives, mothers and keepers at home much is required of us. Our days are filled with many tasks that can often seem mundane and of little
worth – and a society saturated with feminist thinking heartily concurs.

We must set our minds on Truth; that the Biblical role of homemaker is a position of power and influence like none other. That we have an incredible and irreplaceable work to do, one that serves and glorifies Almighty God. If we can really grasp hold of  this then everything changes. When done for the Lord the commonplace becomes noble, the prosaic becomes beautiful and the seemingly unimportant becomes highly valuable.

I started Noble Womanhood in 2006 as a way to remind Christian women (including myself) of what is so easily forgotten:  how valuable our role and work as wives and mothers really is.

The original format was a website (rather than a blog) with links to articles from external sites. It’s pretty outdated now, but I’ve kept the archives and there is still lots of good reading there:

I still definitely plan to keep writing on this topic (one of my favorites), but posts will be integrated here now as part of Old Paths, under the category “Queen of the Home”.

You can also find a ton of encouragement along these lines in my book Queen of the Home. It was originally published in hardcover – and we hope to make it available again in print  – but in the meantime you can read the revised and updated new edition in Kindle format here. You can also buy used copies of the original print edition here .

You can read a snippet here and can also get a free downloadable sample that includes the foreword, introduction and first chapter when you join my mailing list:

"I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined "I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.

And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord...

Many, O Lord my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered." Psalm 40 1,2,3,5
This was such an encouraging reminder today!: 

“God's great design in all His works is the manifestation of His own glory. Any aim less than this were unworthy of Himself. But how shall the glory of God be manifested to such fallen creatures as we are? Man's eye is not single, he has ever a side glance towards his own honour, has too high an estimate of his own powers, and so is not qualified to behold the glory of the Lord. It is clear, then, that self must stand out of the way, that there may be room for God to be exalted; and this is the reason why He bringeth His people ofttimes into straits and difficulties, that, being made conscious of their own folly and weakness, they may be fitted to behold the majesty of God when He comes forth to work their deliverance. He whose life is one even and smooth path, will see but little of the glory of the Lord, for he has few occasions of self-emptying, and hence, but little fitness for being filled with the revelation of God.

They who navigate little streams and shallow creeks, know but little of the God of tempests; but they who "do business in great waters," these see His "wonders in the deep." Among the huge Atlantic-waves of bereavement, poverty, temptation, and reproach, we learn the power of Jehovah, because we feel the littleness of man. Thank God, then, if you have been led by a rough road: it is this which has given you your experience of God's greatness and lovingkindness. Your troubles have enriched you with a wealth of knowledge to be gained by no other means: your trials have been the cleft of the rock in which Jehovah has set you, as He did His servant Moses, that you might behold His glory as it passed by. Praise God that you have not been left to the darkness and ignorance which continued prosperity might have involved, but that in the great fight of affliction, you have been capacitated for the outshinings of His glory in His wonderful dealings with you.” - Charles Spurgeon
