"The Role of a Godly Wife and Mother" by Ann Brubaker

Speaking to women on the role of a godly wife and mother, Ann says her real focus is simply being godly, which she frames as living "a testimony of grace." She shares her story: married to Mark at nineteen, she faced eight dysfunctional years after he left God for sin, yet she held onto hope. His deep repentance ultimately strengthened their marriage, and those years gave her compassion for others.
She admits fresh trials, including a lawsuit and chronic pain, and draws on Paul's thorn in 2 Corinthians 12 to argue that our "if onlys" are opportunities to display God's strength. Such a testimony matters because we exist to glorify God, wield real influence, and should make Jesus attractive. She encourages women to love their roles, see the Proverbs 31 woman as attainable through fear of the Lord, and "just be sweet."
She closes by urging honesty with God, obedience, and meekness as paths to peace.
