I’m 29 and living at home.  I have a small home business and maintain individual friendships as well as fellowshipping alongside my family with other family units.  I’ll freely admit living as an adult in my parent’s household can be challenging.  But I’m sure that living as an adult with another adult (my husband) will also be challenging.  I love what Julie says (her post is below): “Living independently does NOT make a better wife — it requires a woman
to then give up that independence when she marries. Submission is
something that most women have to work at; much more so when they are
coming from a place where the final decision has been theirs.”  

I just want to say to Julie and to Shaun — if either of them ever read this — a huge, huge thank-you!!  As a woman living against today’s culture,  it’s so easy to lose heart: to wonder if you’re the only one on the planet who thinks a woman’s place is in her father’s home until she marries.  On those days when it’s just not easy, the temptation is to look around and say, “Okay, I’m done with this.  Nobody else does it this way. “  I am very encouraged to see your posts and know that I’m not alone in how I believe.   Julie, thank you for being a woman who will encourage other women to be true to the vision God has placed in our hearts through His word.  Shaun, thank you for the reminder that there are still men out there who are different than the mainstream, who are looking for women who cherish their family and support their dad in preparation for supporting and coming alongside their husbands. 

To other girls who are also at home who might find this post, I just want to say, Keep looking to the Lord to fulfill your heart.  He promises never to desert the one who waits for Him (Psalm 37:3-7, Isaiah 64:4).  I have found the Lord to be utterly faithful.  Though He has not  (yet) granted the desire for marriage, yet as I have sought Him, He has shown me His heart, and nothing else can compare.   A God-ordained marriage will be wonderful, I’m sure, but from personal experience I will assure you, “Taste and see that the Lord is GOOD!” 

Acts 11:17 “If God therefore gave to them the same gift as He gave to us also after believing in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could stand in God’s way?” And when they heard this, they quieted down, and glorified God, saying, “Well then, God has GRANTED to the Gentiles also the repentance that leads to life.”

2 Tim. 2:24-26 And the Lord’s bond-servant must not be quarrelsome, but be kind to all, able to teach, patient when wronged, with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition, if perhaps God MAY GRANT them repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth, and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, having been held captive by him to do his will.

Those who God has Ordain Believe.
Acts 13:48
Now when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and glorified the word of the Lord. And as many as had been appointed to eternal life believed.

The results of being appointed to Eternal life was belief. It’s not because they believed that they were appointed to eternal life. But the other way around.
Only God saves. He does not need mans cooperation.
Romans 8:30 Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.
If you read this chain its all Gods work and God does not fail.
Ezekiel 36:26-27
I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.
I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them.
I love how you said and I quote you ” Why in the world would you wish to believe in that God determines our eternal destination in spite our will and desire?” Here is your answer Romans 9 (for the children not yet being born, nor having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works but of Him who calls), it was said to her, “The older shall serve the younger.” As it is written, “Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated.” What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? Certainly not!
For He says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion.”
So then it is NOT OF HIM WHO WILLS, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy.
Joshua 24:15 Does not give evidence of men being able to choose saving Faith. If you know anything about ethnic Israel they said one thing but really desired to serve false gods that’s like all humanity. Scripture just shows us what humanity given the opportunity to choose, what decision we would make, and it would be choose to serve false gods. That’s why God has always reserved for himself a remanent.
Jeremiah 50:20 In those days and in that time,” says the Lord,
“The iniquity of Israel shall be sought, but there shall be none;
And the sins of Judah, but they shall not be found;
For I will pardon those whom I preserve.
1 King 19:18 Yet I have reserved seven thousand in Israel, all whose knees have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth that has not kissed him.”
Romans 11:4-6 But what does the divine response say to him? “I have reserved for Myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”
Even so then, at this present time there is a remnant according to the ELECTION of grace.
And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.

PS: And not Israel is Israel. Every believer is Israel.

Regeneration proceeds Faith
John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
Regeneration is by Gods Will not mans desire.
John 3:8 The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
Man would never choose God given an opportunity. Scripture is clear on that.
Romans 8:9-10 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
Romans 3:10 As it is written: “There is none righteous, no, not one; There is none who understands; There is none who seeks after God.
Given the choice as you put it NO ONE WOULD BE SAVED.
Ephesians 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
Grace and Faith are a gift of God towards his Elect. And without faith you cannot please God. Scripture is clear.
