Tonight we were talking about independence.
One of the girls said she feels guilty asking her parents for money to buy pizza, because she is capable of working more.
(Dear Lord, she sounds like me!)
And it's true, we are big girls now.
In this house, we fight for and earn.
We are not handed.
We buy our own food, do our dishes, clean our house, pay our bills.
We don't call home when something goes wrong;
We figure it out ourselves.
And we are proud of it.
I dislike this society that says it's alright for someone over the age of 18 to continue to leech off of their parents.
(And I'm not saying any of us are particularly good at this,
Because we still have much to learn too.)
Anywhere else in the world, this would be unacceptable.
Why do we continue to pretend we aren't capable?
God gave us hands to work.
Climb the ladder...
Step it up a bit.
How many times does the Bible emphasize the importance of hard work?
I'd say plenty.
Let's go!
