| Greetings In The Precious Name of Jesus! In the early years of my marriage, we were in a setting where I had almost no fellowship with my beloved Sisters in Christ. Coming from a background of ample friendships, I was totally unprepared for the seemingly solitary situation in which we lived. Once introduced to the "homeschool community" The Lord brought friends to me via the mailbox. REAL mail-Email wasn't around yet. My mailbox friends came in the form of letters from a few treasured & true friends, but mostly they visited me in the shape of magazines that "catered" to the lifestyle we'd adopted--homeschooling--a word that calls to mind an array of people with a wide range of convictions. As the years passed by, the magazines went through transitions, changing hands, convictions, or dying out. When I was "desperate" for fellowship, I was able to overlook differences of opinion about homeschool methods, birth choices, herbs vs. pharmaceuticals etc. However, as time went on subtle doctrinal differences regarding SALVATION and separation began to eat at me. It took quite a while for me to accept that I needed to separate myself from that type of fellowship. My quest for fellowship of likeminded faith and practice was endless. Almost as soon as I thought it had ended, something would happen and I was forced to renew the search. There were plenty of times that I thought I'd found it, only to be let down again and again. This continued for years. During all that time, in the back of my mind, in my heart, I felt The Lord telling me to do it--start a magazine for women like me, who lived and believed like I did. At the time, looking from the outside in, it looked like a glamorous position--being an editress of a magazine had prestige. And I jumped at the idea, but it would be years before this "dream" became a reality. You see, for all the "glory" that would come with such an endeavor, I thought that I would continue to seek another magazine, and I kept looking for someone else to "fill the gap". But, The Lord doesn't work that way. He placed this squarely on my heart and wouldn't let me out of it. Therefore it is with great JOY that I announce JOYFUL HELP MEET At HOME to you. This magazine is baptist in faith and practice, and seeks to encourage, edify, bless women who seek to obey the scriptures in their calling as wives and mothers. Subscription information is listed below. Please send in your testimony, birth story, anecdotes, or anything else the Lord leads you to send. This is not intended to be a one woman show. Let us strive to uplist one another in Jesus Christ and in our daily life. Lovingly, Mrs. Bob (Terry) Leib |
