Wait, I thought this was a “Girl Talk” and “God Talk” blog. What’s “His View”… some way to say what God is thinking about Velocytes and young women as a whole? Probably not, but it makes you think.
No, it’s an acronym the ladies will get to see much more in the future: H.I.S. – “Having Ingenue Speculations” Kristie K may throw me a story or two that involves women, your walk with Christ or how the world watches you walk, period. That said, I had this peculiar thought not too long ago and I passed in Kristie K’s direction.
She says, “You understand Velocytes are young, pretty, beginning the rest of our lives, or some haven’t even found a man… so why are we talking about this?!” I get it, Kristie K. Let’s talk about God, fashion, entertainment and call it a day. Well, this made me think a little deeper – like Pacific Ocean-ish.
This article in the Miami Herald made me think A LOT about the decrease in childbirth and the apparent increase in career women.
Is there a connection, and if so, why?
According to this article, it seems women these days can’t juggle a career and children? Why is it that young women (like you) get shoved in a corner, and are forced to choose, “OK, chic! What’s it gonna be? Excel up the food chain on the job, or just get food thrown at you all day and that is your job. You can’t have both. Now choose.”
Read this from the story:
In the last 30 years, the number of women age 40 to 44 with no children has doubled, from 10 percent to 20 percent. And those who are mothers have an average of 1.9 children each, more than one child fewer than women of the same age in 1976.
Ladies, I am not trying to scare you into a bad relationship to forego your quest for “Mr. Right” and just venture out to secure “Mr. Right Now.” But articles like this make me think, “Lord, expand the horizons of young women searching for more – more of you, more of friends and more in their lives. God wants us all to have life, and life more abundantly. What’s more abundant than to be successful 9 to 5, and being silly with a baby from 5 to 9? Increase, Lord! If Missus HiScrivener is any prototype, I am certain they can take it. (Hi, baby!)
Well, you can, can’t you? What say you?
