woman of honor...

it seems I have several places God chooses to speak to me.. one is the bathroom.. doesn't matter what I am doing in there.. He often comes into the bathroom... one is in the gym.. when I can't breathe.. He often talks... when my mind can't function above just gasping for air.. He is very easy to hear... another is while I am asleep or right before asleep.. or right as I am waking up.. I think this is due to consciousness not really being in full effect yet.. so I hear clearly...

today.. (not for the first time though) He spoke while I was doing my hair... and He said to me that women who really understand their true role.. are often wishing they had been made a man... that this was very common in the biblical times because a woman was a possession much like a cow or sheep... but when we realize we are really here for the man.. not vice versa.. then we still get to feeling like a second class citizen.. like God doesn't see us as important... but He said to me.. that we were chosen intentionally to be a woman.. and it is an honor.. not a disgrace...

maybe God uses a man to head the world.. but that head needs a neck to stand on.. and that is us.. if we are weak or out of place.. he cannot stay up anyways... but on top of that.. we have been given the responsibility of bringing life into the world.. and while we couldn't do this by ourself.. they could not do it without us... we are the single most influential person in the life of a child.. while a man is necessary in their upbringing... they need their mother... so there would not be the next generation without us... and as we see the decline in the value of our young people.. we know that this is due to the decline in the value of our families...

He told me that I am not an afterthought.. that He was very intentional in making me a woman.. and I happen to be a woman of great influence.. and this is also true of you... so whether you influence the lives in your household.. or the lives in a church.. or the lives throughout the world.. our influence can be used to change the future of this nation... so stand up.. be thankful to be a woman.. and live out your role.. to the men.. and to the children... and to other women... we are of great value... of great honor.. of great necessity...
