I wish we had this an article at The Well--speaks to the issues facing so many of the gifted, dedicated, Christian women in our audience. From Baylor professor Elizabeth Corey, a nuanced look at why "balance" may not be possible: "...we cannot come to terms with the difficulties women face in the present day until we consider the way in which we feel the competing inclinations in our own souls. "Modern women are right to think that both the pursuit of excellence and the desire to care for others are part of a fully flourishing life. Excellence in a particular field requires persistence, self-confidence, drive, courage, and initiative. These are eminently admirable qualities. On the other hand, serving or loving another requires the even more admirable qualities of attention, focus, care, patience, and self-sacrifice. The accent we place on them, and the way we put them into practice, is a matter for all of us to figure out for ourselves."
