I’ve tried hard to conform to society’s expectations of a late 20th and early 21st century woman but I’ve never quite fit the mold.
I started out well enough: married young, had three children in rapid succession, spent my suburban housewife years cooking, cleaning, being a hockey and figure skating mom, making brownies and pies for church and school events. And then, somewhere in my mid thirties as my kids grew more independent, a light bulb went on in my head and I discovered that, hey! I could do other things with the long cold Canadian winters.
To my delight, I learned that not only could I read books (which I loved) I could actually write articles that other people would read! And then I discovered that I could attend our local university as a “Mature Student”. (Does that make the others immature?)
And so I did. I chose Religious Studies as my area of study, because I am interested in understanding all of the world’s religions. Nine years and three degrees later, I found myself doing what I loved – speaking to various gatherings, church conferences and weekend interdenominational retreats, always sharing the love of God.
Now, I have somehow written a book that, like me, doesn’t “quite fit the mold” either. I hope that you will read it, if you haven’t already done so, and that you will pass it on, and that you will know that God loves you.
In Christ,
Camala
