Link to a Great Blog about Motherhood

By: Stacey Tuttle

I came across this great blog post about the calling of motherhood (Thanks Missy for that link!).  The author, Rachel Jankovic , talks about how, practically speaking, motherhood ranks “below college. Below world travel for sure. Below the ability to go out at night at your leisure. Below honing your body at the gym. Below any job you may have or hope to get.”   And she explains that part of the reason that motherhood ranks so low is that it is often frightening.  Frightening because, “Laying down your own life, in any way, is terrifying. Strangely, it is that fear that drives the abortion industry: fear that your dreams will die, that your future will die, that your freedom will die…” 

Anyway – I’m not doing it justice, just read it.  It’s great.
