“A moment of grace.
There rose up within me a profound sense of being loved. I felt "gathered together" and encircled by a Presence completely loving, as if I were enveloped by the music of a love song created just for me. It was not overwhelming or even emotional. Just a warm knowing that I was in God's loving embrace... centered and unified there .ღϠ₡ღ¸.✻´´¯`✻.¸¸.~Sue Monk Kidd~ |
A woman, a mother, living well in her God ordained role,
is of great beauty and inestimable value to the future history of any generation.

Sometimes God lets you hit rock bottom
so you will discover He is the rock at the bottom.
~Dr. Tony Evans
We have to pray with our eyes on God, not on the difficulties.
~ Oswald Chambers
To pray is to let go and let God take over
Phil 4:6.7
"It is your soul I love, rather than your appearance or performance.
Sometimes you are so dissatisfied with both of these that they become your focus.
To break free from this self-preoccupation, relax in My loving Presence
and let the Light of My Love soak into your entire being."

LORD,
A woman of your own, is what I long to be
Filled with your Godly wisdom
So it is part of me
A woman of integrity, no matter what I face
Living in Your righteousness
And in your saving grace
A woman of Your destiny, living out Your plan
Knowing where You'd have me walk
Being guided by your hand
A woman of sure promise, believing in Your word
Holding on to only truth
While trusting You I learn.
A woman of compassion, for those within the dark
That do not know your love
And have sorrow in their heart
A woman that will never, compromise the faith
But, when looking at the world,
Will only seek Your face
A woman who loves Jesus to ever follow Him
Turning from the glitter
So His light can shine within
Lord this is my earnest prayer, as a daughter by your grace
Grow in me these qualities
As I walk with you in faith.
In Jesus name amen.

Every house where love abides
And friendship is a guest,
Is surely home,

For there the heart can rest.

Two women meet for coffee.
They Talked about life-things they were working through and things they were learning. They showed each other grace and gave each other courage. Even though neither of them had all the answers, they knew God sure did. So they laughed and cried, shared their lives. And in the end, when their mugs were empty…. their hearts were full. |
- God, be her God — her all-satisfying treasure and all. Make her jealous for your exclusive supremacy over all her affections (Psalm 73:24–25).
- Increase her faith — give her a rock-solid confidence that your incomparable power is only always wielded for her absolute good in Christ (Romans 8:28–30).
- Intensify her joy — a joy in you that abandons all to the riches of your grace in Jesus and that says firmly, clearly, gladly: "I'll go anywhere and do anything for God is there" (Exodus 33:14–15).
- Soften her heart — rescue her from cynicism and make her tender to your presence in the most complicated details of dirty diapers and a multitude of other needs you've called her to meet (Hebrews 1:3).
- Make her cherish your church — build relationships into her life that challenge and encourage her to walk in step with the truth of the gospel, and cause her to love giving, the Lord's Table, and church life (Mark 3:35).
- Give her wisdom — as she sees dimensions of reality a woman does and accompany her vision with a gentle, quiet spirit that feels safe and celebrated (1 Peter 3:4).
- Sustain her health — it is by blood-bought grace (Psalm 139:14).
- Multiply her influence — encourage and deepen the impact she has on children. Give her sweet glimpses of it. Pour her out in love for her neighbors and spark creative ways to engage them for Jesus's sake (John 12:24).
- Make her hear your voice — to read the Bible and accept it as it really is, your word... your very word to her where she lives, full of grace and power and everything she needs pertaining to life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3).
- Overcome her with Jesus — that she is united to him, that she is a new creature in him, that she is your daughter in him. . . No longer in Adam and dead to sin; now in Christ and alive to you, forever (Romans 6:11).

If I find in myself desires that nothing in this world can satisfy,
the only logical explanation is that I was made for another world.

To submit to anyone less than Christ is difficult.
Yet it is Christ who commands women to be submissive to their sinful, fallible husbands.
In this sense Christ is the silent partner of the marriage.
It is hard for a wife to submit when she disagrees with her husband. But when she knows her submission is an act of obedience to Christ and honors Christ, it is much less difficult. ~ R. C. Sproul

Tips for Womanhood
Loving people
Love is loving people and delighting in the friendship they share.
Ringing someone, writing a letter or nice email.
Finding friends is most important,
@: cooking classes, college/TAFE, book clubs, or volunteering .
helping at church, the tennis club or gym, sharing experiences at a Mum's group;
walking a dog- people with dogs are usually friendly.
(get dog from animal rescue).It's quite amazing how friendly people are walking paths and beaches
Sunshine - 20 minutes daily
Time in the sun, the body produces endorphins (happy hormone) there's a link between sunshine and melatonin and serotonin, hormones that help sleep.
A good night's sleep is vital for feeling ok.
hint: don't wear sunglasses or your body won't realise it's in the sun and you don't get the full benefit.
Strike up conversations.
When with someone, opening a door, at the cash register or on the bus, look them in the eye and say thank you. Watch the smile on their face, and you too will be smiling.
and happy, plus they appreciate it.
Gratitude diary:
Write down three things every day to be grateful for. Can you limit to three?
That you have good food and are educated?
You have access to technology and electricity?
You are safe to read this, and aren't in a civil war.
Kindness
The movie 'Pay It Forward', started a movement of doing something for one who could never repay.
Pay for an extra drink for the person behind you.
Visit a Senior, see if they need groceries or just a chat.
One space left in the car park - give it to someone else.
Buy a rose and leave it for someone eg-the cleaner who empties your bin.
Learn what is true for life
How can you make your job enjoyable?
Are you friends with people you don't understand, or constantly replaying mistakes.
Know what God would desire, seek His freedom from the past – live in His strength, you cannot do anything alone.
Do you seek recognition in what you do, or seek opportunities to love and learn?
Be brave and improve relationships.
Once you accept what is right, it is easier to make decisions based on truth and love.
Make a Cacao smoothie with avocado, banana, apple
Dark chocolate, rich with antioxidants, boosts blood-flow to the brain, improving concentration and mood.
You are what you eat, so don't be fast, cheap, easy or fake.
Activity
Being physically active is a sure way to a healthy womanhood.
The biggest organ that needs a workout is the brain.
Women who are busy and mentally active are more content than those who watch 12 episodes a day.
The more the brain works, the more dopamine is released, THE feel-good drug. All natural of course.
Enrol in a course, learn flower arranging, drawing, garden, write a novel, do Sudoku/word puzzles on the train,
learn an instrument, memorise verses, poems, start a hobby, read.
Being Still
Silence, being still, listening to God, being grateful- sets the heart at peace
where character can grow.
A life with a peaceful soul, can weather raging storms."
