It sounded like you started to say that you have a quiet time every morning when they were asking you about taking care of yourself - did they cut you off/edit it out?
I followed your blog and Rachel Ray on facebook to see the comments. I notice that without Christ, this doesn't make sense. The world tells us that we are to be out there earning the bacon because we cannot trust a man. (Thank you womens libbers!) And that view was parroted on the comments of the RR facebook page. Thank you Courtney for your testimony and your courage. I only wish you were allowed to say the reason that you are who you are! Keep on walking with the King. Karyn
Dessa - you got it - I explained my quiet time and how I get up before my husband and children every morning to have my quiet time - and yes, it was completely edited out! I also said we need to take care of ourselves "physically, emotionally and spiritually" and out came the spiritually word.
But I'm okay with it - people are finding their way over to my blog as a result of the show...and here - they are going to hear all about my sweet Jesus!!! Courtney
What fun to watch! I'm glad they weren't biased in trying to depict you in a negative light. You and your husband seem so happy and stable and loving, and I hope viewers recognized that instead of instantly condemning your lifestyle as "old-fashioned" or "wrong."
Courtney, I truly appreciated you and your husbands appearance on the RR show! I hate that they edited out the most important aspect of Christ, but the radiance that you and your husband have did shine of Our Lords blessings! The way that you serve your home is to be commended, personally, I believe that if more wives were open to this that it would provide a revival in our country!
I'm surprised, but also not surprised, that this is such a touchy subject these days. With all the blogs that I follow and the way I live my life, you're way of life sounds like the "normal" thing. I'm amazed, but also glad, that a talk show decided to highlight our normal way of life!
I just found your blog today off of women at the well and I saw your picture and thought, I recognize her. Then I saw your family Christmas picture and recognized your from Rachael Ray! I loved your segment and am so glad to be able to follow your blog now!
I LOVE hearing from my readers and I pray for you all regularly. I try to respond to questions in the comment section as quickly as I can - within 1-3 days.
Due to an overflowing email inbox and the desire to keep my husband, children and home first priority in my life, I am no longer able to answer personal emails at this time. I apologize.
You did great!
ReplyDeleteLooks like it was a lot of fun!
So glad to see they didn't edit it like crazy and make you look like a crazy women!!
God bless you and your desire to be a wife and mom to your family!!

ReplyDeleteGreat job! Very impressive! I find it interesting that three of the "favorites" that were posted today were about marriage!
