The QuarterWomen in the family of Q
   - Kiev, 6 Aug 2015, ClayQ

With all the boys in our family, we haven’t always talked about the women of the Q Family! Clay will be teaching a seminar for the Lydia Institute in fall on the Christian Philosophy of Women and Women’s work. But he has some wonderful examples to work from!

Darlene has a servant’s heart. She spent the summer in Mississippi with our son Nate and our granddaughters (Kendra, age 8, and Rivka, age 6 – two more wonderful women-in-making). Darlene was helping out while Malaika was in Virginia for a month, working on her Masters. Malaika is also bringing the girls a baby BROTHER in October! Darlene also helped in Jackson with Clay’s Mother, who is in great health for age 92! But Clay is glad to see Darlene back in Ukraine after 6 weeks away!

Erin, Matt’s wife, finished her Masters and is now the Librarian of a theological school in Seattle. Matt stays busy working at an Apple store, writing music, and singing with Erin at church and elsewhere. 

Irene, Ty’s wife, became an American citizen and got her Driver’s license! That’s a big thing for someone who didn’t grow up with a family car! Ty is working on a college degree while training and working in the Shipyard of Newport News.

What would our lives be like without these wonderful women?!  Besides the obvious, women are such a blessing from God, and their special qualities are so important in our families and personal lives! Thank the Lord for each of these precious jewels!
