I talked a lot today. I talked about homeschooling and unschooling. I spoke about fixing the foundation of a broken marriage. I rebuked a Sister who is viewing all the problems of marriage through the filter of the flesh, rather than the filter of God's Word. I encouraged her to saturate her mind in the Word of God -- not another's interpretation of the Word of God.
Now I have a sinking feeling. I wish I hadn't said so much today.
It's not that the things I said were not good or true; it's just that I have, in recent years, practiced a certain degree of anonymity and find it's a comfortable place in which I never have to experience regret.
At the same time, I am strongly convicted that this one-to-one vulnerability and exhortation is what the Lord intended when He inspired the writer of Titus to encourage the older women to teach the younger women how to love their husbands and children. I don't believe he meant for that important relationship to be acted out by the publishing industry at a 12,000 to 1 ratio.
