Dear Mothers,
Boy am I prayin' about bein' on the radio! There are some obstacles that I am prayin' about. I am just casting my cares upon Jesus. Oh, mercy, I want so much to be able to go into the home of mothers with a live message. I want Mothers at home to hear me say, "You can make it. It's OK. All is well!"
I think my greatest burden is for the children. I know what it's like to have heartbroken children who cry for their Daddy to come home. I taught my children to pray at the table, "Thank You, Jesus, for bringin' my Daddy home." I know what it is like to be broken hearted for my husband. And I know what it is like to have people who were supposed to be Christians say horrid things to me, adding insults to injuries. And it should never have been that way. And the Lord gave me victory. He gave me double blessings for all I suffered.
We as believers should be the counselor to the broken in heart. So many need a counselor in this age. My heart goes especially to young families. Oh, for them to be able to turn on the radio and hear an older mother say, "It's OK. Jesus came to bind up the broken in heart and to set the captive free."
The mourning and grieving that so many Mothers face alone is not the will of God. I used to cry bitter tears when I was alone and forsaken. I would pray, "Lord, you have called the older woman to encourage me -- where is she?" Yes, the Lord has called the older Titus mother but she refuses to come. That isn't Gods fault that so many of you young moms are forsaken.
As a child, when my brother and I would come home from school as children, we always called, "Mother? Mother?" when we came in the door. And we knew that Mother was there and ready to listen to our stories about school. And we knew that in a few hours a hot supper would be on the table. It's not like that now in our country. And so many of our children's souls are almost silent, having cried out into darkness for so long and no one answered.
We need multitudes of young mothers to come back home to the family. We need a multitude of older Mothers to call them back. And I am not the only one tryin' to get on the radio. I bet there are many older moms who have heard this call of the Lord. But it has to be in the Lord's time and I am waiting on Him. I am not going to worry over it. And I don't want anyone else to worry over it, either. It will all gel and come together.
The Greatest Deception
Ya know women preachers are such a deception. They tell the truth for the most part. A deception is never a deception without truth. Because no one would be deceived by a person who told only lies. So these women stand up and preach the Word except for the Word concerning Keepers at home. How much heart does it take for a woman to preach and forget the children? The children are to be protected, loved and cared for. That is one of the main jobs of the wife and mother. How can any woman preacher preach and forget the children?
When Cain killed his brother Abel, the blood of Abel cried out to God. Think of the blood of 1.5 million babies a year who are right now crying out to God. And do you think God is standing there like a deaf man watching TV? And why do the lady preachers get away with all this deception and your money? Because the older woman has blasphemed the Word of God. She has hidden herself away to seek her own comfort. She has allowed lady preacher to take over and to be the voice of authority. And it is killing the heart of the young mothers, not to mention their children. Abortion thinking began in the church. I have heard of churches that made it mandatory for the young adult members to get fixed after a couple children.
Our world is not overpopulated. It's just that no one wants to move to where there is no electricity or roads. So many are after the almighty $$$$$$ and they refuse to rough it. But any family with a pioneer spirit could have plenty of land to build a house on. Who needs electricity, anyway. As long as a person is warm and has food and water and a roof over their heads, then that is all they need.
I often wonder how many prophets of God and handmaidens of the Lord are dead at the dump because their mother and dad didn't want them. Our population is getting so old. My own mother at 83 has the best of health care. Medicare and health insurance from my Dad's pension. He had a good factory job. These jobs used to be pretty easy to come by. But now our nation takes the best of care of our old folks and kills the unborn, the new blood. But the older women in our day seem to have a window of opportunity here that they may not have coming up. We are, for the most part, safe at least and can teach the young mom what we know.
I was a stay at home mother. But I never expected to have my own car or cell phone or computer. Jim paid off the house so I can stay home now and care for children. I hope to cause the devil some damage as I stay here and do my work. And I don't care how I do it. On the radio, on TV, or just through my email machine. But I do plan on causing some damage.
I am already in the soup and the furnace has been turned up three times hotter. In the middle of the night last night, reality hit me, that what I was asking for was my own radio show? My heart started to pound and I thought of all the reasons I couldn't do it. Like Sanbalit asked Nehemiah, "Who do you think you are?" And the Syrian King stands around me telling me as he told Hezekiah's people, "You will never get it done. Bigger guns than you have tired and I took them over and I will take you down." But God delivered Nehemiah and Hezekiah. And trust me, I ain't goin' out to fight the King or the unbelievers in any way. I am waiting on God. And if He puts me over and gets me on the radio, it will be His doings.
I ain't gonna cry to you all for a million dollars and then give you a free pen with my name on it? No, I ain't gonna play that game. But I am saying that had the older Titus 2 mother been on the job, these lady preachers would never have gotten so far. For hundreds of years the lady preachers were not allowed to preach as the Mothers at home outshone them. Mother at home taught her daughters to stay home and run the homestead. And back then we didn't have divorce and birth control as we do today.
Simple Meals
And ya know what? We live in dangerous times. Some of you Mothers who get to stay home don't know how to cook and bake basic things. You all need to know how to make biscuits and gravy. I mean some of you would starve to death with a bit of meat and flour in front of ya. And ya know I threw out a lot of my biscuits to the birds as they were so hard no one wanted them. But I actually got good at it later on. But practice, Dear Heart, and you will become a good biscuit maker.
Get some self-rising flour. It costs a bit more them regular flour. Put 2 cups of flour in your bowl and add a fourth cup of shortening or lard, whatever. Rub the shortening into the flour with your fingers until the mixture looks like tiny peas. Make sure all the shortening is rubbed into the flour. Then add some milk about 1 cup. And stir this up and make a dough. Then flatten the dough on a floured surface. Don't roll it with a rolling pin. Just pat it with your hands. It should be about an inch thick. Then cut the dough out with a table glass or the rim of a tin can. Bake in a hot oven for about 15 minutes. Be sure to preheat the oven to 450 degrees. This is a quick bread and needs to be baked quick and hot.
You can even take this dough and roll it out thin and put butter and sugar and cinnamon on it and slice it and bake it like cinnamon rolls. You could put nuts in this or raisins. Once you learn to make a biscuit dough, you can make a lot of things. Dumplings are made like plain biscuits that you can drop into a bubbling stew and they bake under the liquid. But do learn to make homemade noodles and from scratch pies and cakes. No, everything won't turn out perfect but just keep practicing.
Happy Homemaking.
Love,
Connie
