With Your Rule
There's Joy in A Mother's Rule
Dear Holly,
I feel compelled to thank you for your book! I have always wanted to be a wife and mother and I have always been organized. So, when I first read your book I didn't quite see how it applied to me. I had a schedule/routine, and I had a desire to be home and schooling my children. However, my days were not filled with the 'peace' I thought I should be experiencing if I was truly doing God's will. "OK," I thought desperately, "time to read that book again..."
Working through the questions in your book helped me see that I wanted to be a wife and mother on my terms and be organized according to MY will - not God's. Since I've made the effort to truly live each activity scheduled for me and my family and to offer each segment to God (though I still need to work on this!!!!!!!!!!) things are so peaceful. My husband comes home to a peaceful, joyful family and home, and we are both so grateful for your generosity in answering God's call to share your Mother's Rule!
I know that as I continue to surrender, I will come closer to Christ, who loves us each so much - what a joy to have this to look forward to!!

Thank YOU so much for this beautiful letter - and for hitting the 'heart' of A Mother's Rule - so much 'more' than a mere schedule... To truly live our lives FOR Christ, IN Him, WITH Him... What joy there is in this, here and now, as well as later...
It is a gift to me when the Lord allows me to see how He is working in someone else's life - and how you are discovering, moment by moment, God's loving design for you in the depths of your home. May Christ continue to richly bless you. Remember me in your prayers please

Dear Anonymous
Continue to read A Mother's Rule and perhaps take it to a good friend for assistance or to your pastor and ask him who could help you on your local level.
