The seed of radical change in our lives . . . . . started with King Arthur??

As we were moving from Arizona to Alabama, almost a year ago now, I was finishing reading Stephen R Lawhead's series, The Pendragon Cycle, again.  I think the fourth time. This incredible book series is a "Christ-centered" version of the Arthurian legends. Lawhead is my favorite author and I know high up on Josh's list of faves. There are only three female characters that thread throughout the whole series: Princess Charis, Morgian, the witch, and Queen Gwenhwyvar.

I have always been drawn to Lawhead's version of  Princess Charis; her strength, charity, endurance, honor, wisdom, and faith in Jesus Christ. And equally drawn to Lawhead's version of Queen Gwenhyvar; her obvious skill as a battle warrior,  tenacity, assertiveness, submission to her husband , King Arthur, and her faith in Jesus Christ as well. (There is no infidelity between Arthur and Gwenhyvar in Lawhead's version, Yeah!)

At one point this summer, I remember - with book in hand- coming to Josh and saying, "I want our daughters to be like these characters. I want US to raise warrior princesses." Pause. . . . .  Josh loved the idea! I could  see the wheels turning in his wonderfully "Josh",  processing mind. He encouraged me to pray about this "Pam brain child", write all my thoughts down AND to stay in the God's Word while I was continuing to finish the Pendragon Cycle. So I did and I am stoked to see what the Lord has created for all of us.

As I wrote in the letter to Bianca's Court, last summer the seed was planted in our hearts, new growth was visible, and the ideas were showing signs of budding. . . . . . .  .as far as the "blossoming" in this adventure, well, it will have to be on the next post. My littlest princess is ready to rise and embrace a new day with mommy. Ta ta for now.
