I like being a [woman]


For some purposeful reason, I am so excited that I am a woman. We have so much responsibility, righteous power, influence. We as women are so special. A special mandate from Jesus has been given to us as women to raise our kids with Godliness, help our husbands prosper, and make our lives to count. I love what Proverbs has to say about what a noble woman is to her husband: "A wife of noble character is her husband’s crown, but a disgraceful wife is like decay in his bones." Proverbs 12:4. Isn't that awesome? A wife of [noble character] is her husband's [crown]. She completes him, sets hims apart. But a disgraceful wife is decay in his bones.. she slowly deteriorates at him, causing him to not be all that he can be. I have been told that I have been born in the wrong century! bahahaha I LOVE the old English era, where the ladies wore the simple long dresses, and men were men who respected the women.. who by the way were true women. I adore how romance seemed something to desire.. [however there were arranged marriages and where couples married not for love but for money].. haha but hey, it seemed a lot more beautiful than today.. where a man pursued the woman and not vice versa, or something cheap and unreal. I think I would fit it to that time frame. :) A woman holds such influence and power. Power for good or for evil.. the choice is ours. We can either praise and adore our husbands and the men around us, or tear them down with our cutting remarks [which is so easy to do]. It takes [courage] to en[courage] men, but if it did not take something of ourselves, then everyone would be doing it. Encouragement requires selflessness. So I am happy to be a woman who can bring forth life in my words and in my body. Who can choose to be a crown to her a husband, or decay in his bones. It is all about about a choice.
