learning to be a "Godly woman"

I have been working on learning to be a "Godly woman" - I chuckle when I type this.  Kaleb had a homeschooling series for Mennonites (especially Mennonite girls) teaching you how do chores, cook, sew that kind of thing.  They referred to the skills in the book as learning to be a Godly Woman.  I found this highly amusing and it stuck with me for a long time.  
For anyone who knows me, you know that I have never been one to cook, I cannot stand cleaning, and being a housewife in general has not been my idea of fun.  
For some reason all of a sudden I started cooking.  At first it was an peach pie, now it has been chocolate pudding from almond milk, zucchini bread, and tonight biscuits and gravy.  Not only am I cooking but doing the dishes suddenly doesn't seem so much like a chore anymore, moping the floor, sweeping, cleaning the bathrooms, all of these things seem while not buckets of fun not horrible.  I love being out in the garden now and tending my chicks.  I have always wanted to homestead but before the idea of all the work involved seemed too much.  Now I am excited by the prospect!  
I love waking up early and working all day.  It makes me happy.  
Well, I better go start dinner before Dad gets home.  Many Blessings!
