Women will be Women

          For centuries the view of women has been to be the householder. Or for some modern women today they would say that they feel like the "slave". Now technically women aren't the slaves..they are simply doing their jobs. When it comes to what women and men should be able to do there is normally a huge fight between genders. Some women take their role of cleaning the house, taking care of the kids, providing the love and comfort, having a part time job, or many other things. While the men of household are seen as the stronghold or the father of the house that provides the materialist things we need to stay alive along with love. First off, no women likes to hear that she cant do something because shes a woman and that shes not cut out for it. You may hear these lines a lot in the business world or the world of athletics mostly, where women want to do what they want and not be compared to the abilities of men. I used to be one of those women that would get ticked when they were told that a man should take a duty over me because he was stronger or it was a man's work. And at times that still gets me. But over the summer I had a chance to sit down a face the toughest bible study with a group of talented young women. In this study we looked at what it meant to embrace your divine design of true womanhood. And boy was it hard, because it also faced the realities of men vs women in the world around us. As I was saying earlier, most women would get upset if they were told they couldn't do something because of their gender and honestly they have a right to be mad. When most people say these hurtful words to women they only state the negative side of their abilities whereas most don't see the most important side...the positive side. Men and women were both created equally in the beginning...totally equal with their own God given abilities. I look at it as Adam and Eve were obviously different because of gender but they were equal. So they were different but equal? Confusing I know...but they both had all their own amazing talents (all different!) but yet, they both will equal up in the eyes of God. You might be asking, well then why are women seen as a smaller less "important" figure than men today?........... SIN. When we were created in the image of God we were created equally with our own talents as I have said... but as soon as those talents hit the air of sin. Bang, they acted as if they were in a car crash or a "gender bender" as you would call it. Because of sin, the gender difference between men and women today is a struggle. Women know their roles as the women of the household and in the family of God just as well as the men do. Some men or women may or may not choose to do those abilities but they are still always going to be their duties. I am in no way saying that women should bow down to men...so women listen up ( men tune in as well). Women: as your job as a daughter of the Lord we have more than just the duties of sweeping the floor and washing the clothes. Women are relational beings so therefore sin will affect our relationships. Women are meant to care. I have heard the saying that while women are thinking about a millions things at one time a man is only thinking about one certain thing. Its the truth..but that's not calling men dumb. Women were meant to show the divine beauty, gentleness, love, compassion, grace, and so much more that mirrors the image of God. Not all women have the same talents and destined duties of every other woman....everyone is different but women all come from the same root. So women...I challenge you to look at your special privileges that you cant do that men can as a gift. Because I can guarantee that more than 50% of what you do a man cant do. Challenge your self to ask what can I do as a daughter of Christ to be a mirror image of him. Don't worry about what others say you can do because you can do it...many things! Instead worry about what you need to do in order to better the kingdom of God because in the end that's all that counts.
