You have written expressing my heart on the subject, and we don't know one another! I am turning 31 this month, and only just moved to my own little abode, now having my own car, and a couple of part time jobs, thanks to the provision of the Lord. I also run a small sewing business from my home making ladies' garments. I treasure the years spent at home, being home educated middle school through high school, following 7 years in the public schools. My family and I enjoy serving in several ministries of our local church. I see my parents and my younger brothers and sisters just about daily, as I share the car with my next younger sister, Elizabeth, and we drive to work together. Life IS good as an adult. I'm discovering it more every day. I especially love the time I spend alone with the Lord in my new place! I have read many of the same books you have along the side of your blog. Treasures, every one! The Lord be your all, all the days of your life. His handmaid, Amy Vanessa,

As I was reading I was thinking of all the young people I know who would benefit from your words but would probably not even read them. We truly live in terrible times. May Yahweh bless you as you continue to grow in His love. Navah/Teresa Beautiful..well written.

I've never heard it put this way. Yes, in our American culture, adulthood is seen as a bad thing, but God intended it, didn't He, and, yes, the possibilities are endless. Thanks for writing this.

Life is really much happier that way! @Elisabeth, Yes, now that I look around at my peers I am very thankful that I grew up in a large family where I was expected to start working hard and take on responsibility at a young age.

Someone who agrees with me! I have always wanted to grow up. When I was going through my adolescent years the young people around me complained about growing older and taking on new responsibilities, but I relished it. I'm very grateful for my Mother instilling such values and ideals in me and for not pampering or babying me. I wish all people were as fortunate as I. Yay! Someone who agrees with me!

It seems that in a day and age where we have more industry than ever, we also have more laziness and sloth which is made worse by the culture's focus on entertainment and ease. Blessings !
