The Real WOMAN!

Hi! I hope everyone is having a great morning. I’m going to be blogging about a subject that was laid on my heart during my morning devotion. What is a “Real Woman”? Before I answer this question let me ask the men some questions. Are you following Jesus Christ? Are you being the leader of your home? Do you love your wife as Christ loves the Church? If not you don’t deserve the Proverbs 31 Woman. Hold on and strap yourself in tight here we go! First let me say to the Lady that reads this I am not judging you I am simply sharing what I have learned out of Scripture. “Proverbs 31” Some people talk about the Proverbs 31 woman as the ideal woman. That is so untrue the woman in Proverbs 31 10-31 is the “Real Woman”. She is the woman God intends all women to be. Not necessarily fitting the specific description, but certainly the general description. I read a devotional one time and Pastor Guy Melton used that same sentence. Now let’s talk about what our society calls this. Society would call this counter-cultural. Our Society has told Woman they need to be stronger than men the term “Feminist”. A Feminist thinks that her worth is found in a career and competing with men drives her to do the things she does. Most of the time she does not want to do these things. Sound familiar a lot of Men do this also and if you continue to be a Passive man your family will fall. It’s time for the Men in this Nation to stand up and be Men. Women out there if your husband is not leading the way you need to have a one on one conversation with him today. Tell him how you feel he can handle it! Women please listen and read for yourselves in Proverbs 31 10-31 this woman described is a nurturing mother, wife and woman of DIGNITY! This did not mean she didn’t have outside interest. She did in Verses 16-18 it shows she was a successful business woman. To be Godly women or mom does not mean you check your business sense and brains at the door. Later on as I read in this Chapter it says she was fulfilled and happy. She was committed to her family, husband and children. Because of her commitment they honored her and respected her. There are lots of rewards for being a Loving, Caring woman. This life is too short to be unhappy all the time. Let me first say if your husband is not being the leader in the home he has his own issues. You may need to have a talk tonight! For the single mom out there and I know they are a lot of you. I know its tough. My mom was a single mom as well. I don’t know you but I want you to know I Love You and your kids will honor you for doing the best you can do! You can do it! You can be successful! You will make it even when you fill your about to lose it! For all you Single Fathers out there you rock and keep leading your children it will pay off! Now for my venting session! To all you “DEADBEAT DAD'S” yes I said dad's anyone can be a dad but it takes a special person to be a FATHER! You need to wake up if you have kids and are not there and you have walked out on them they will not forget that! They are your responsibility and you are nothing but a BOY! You are pathetic and make me sick. You think its all about you. Newsflash it’s not if you have children take care of them. Spend time with them they will not forget the time you spend with them! Be a Man for a change The Job and Money you have will fade. The time you spend with your kids will pass on from generation to generation. To all the Men and Women out there who read this I hope it challenges you! Have an Awesome Day.
