I Am Woman...



Being a woman is a wonderful thing!  In our day and time, women are told that they are the underdog and that they need to live up to the "superwoman" model in order to be successful.  Much pressure is put upon us as women to compete, to be and to do things better.  I found a recent article that outlines some ways that women are special.  How God has created us and equipped us to be unique and special.  This isn't a line drawn in the sand on what we must do, but rather beautiful attributes to celebrate that will make us shine where ever we are because of who we are.

We can affirm these God given attributes by declaring that "I am" created by God to be unique and celebrate His gift of being a woman.

I am a woman, therefore I am feminine. I will glory in my femininity in order to give glory to God. I will dress femininely, speak femininely, walk femininely, and act femininely.

I am a woman, therefore I am a "life-giver." The first woman was named Eve, meaning life-giver. She was the prototype of all women to come. I will delight in bringing life to the world, through my womb, through my words, and through my actions.

I am a woman, therefore I am a nurturing mother. God has put this anointing in my very being.  I embrace my womanly nurturing anointing to bring glory to God.

I am a woman, therefore I am different to men. I have my own particular function and calling that God has purposed for me. I will embrace it and walk in it, and resist all temptation to take my husband's role.

I am a woman, therefore I will find my greatest joy in my home. God has given me the blessing of a home to be a nest builder.I have the privilege of making a sanctuary for the glory of God and to raise my children in this safe nest.

I am a woman, therefore my price is worth more than rubies and pearls. I will bring glory to God by seeking to be a precious jewel to my husband and children.

When I embrace who God created me to be I bring honor and glorify God. When I deny my femaleness, I dishonor the God who created me and His plan for my life.

May we become unashamed affirmers of who we are.

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block. Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We...

Word Filled Wednesday – Act Justly

He has shown you, O man, what is good;       And what does the LORD require of you                But to do justly, To love mercy,       And to walk humbly with your God?    Micah 6:8 Sometimes we struggle so hard with the question “What does God want us to do and be?”  This verse is a simple yet powerful reminder of some simple things that God requires of us.  Act and do justly, love mercy and walk humbly before God.  There are numerous opportunities each day to do justly, to do the right thing or to make the right choice.  We love mercy when we show kindness or mercy oftentimes to those who do not deserve it.  Walking humbly before God is acknowledging He alone is God.  He is the I AM – no one else is.  When we give Him the glory He is worthy of, it will humble our heart before Him....
