In two weeks I'll be going back to work, full-time, outside of the home. It's something I've been dreading ever since I quit my job last year as a teacher at a busy charter school. I was newly married and experienced the impossible dynamic of fulfilling job demands while managing the home. While I succeeded at one, the other would suffer and I was perpetually stressed. Staying home seemed to be the answer, and made me feel like I was truly pursuing biblical womanhood. As a former feminist, working outside of the home reminds me of my old pursuits when I glorified my fleshly desires. I actively pursued everything against the Lord's will.
