{June 8, 2010}   What it really means to be a christian woman

Today I have been contemplating about what it means to be a Christian woman. I mean what it REALY means to live as one of God’s own, how different my life is at its very core from so many of those around me. Think about it.

We live our lives knowing how absolutely beautiful and gorgeous we are. How do we know? Because the most amazing person went through the worst battle and greatest trials just so He could spend the rest of His life with us. That means eternity! Someone really doeas want to spend forever with us! Because we are beautiful!

We go through life knowing that no matter what happens and no matter how we feel someone is always ALWAYS there loving us, encouraging us, making us strong, fighting for us. We can look at every flower, hear every bird, feel every warm breeze touching our skin and know that He had us in mind when he created it. Every beautiful thing is for us! Touch, taste, sight, smell, He really did have us in mind.

We are real women. So soft we hurt when we see someone’s pain. So confident we know we can accomplish anything. So fierce we will give our lives for what is right and those we love. So gentle we can reach out and love anyone who needs us.

We are the princesses, beautiful and strong, going on our own adventures, fighting the bad guys, helping those in need, and if things ever become too much for us to handle He’s always there to take care of it.

 Imagine, we don’t have to be afraid. We don’t have to wonder who we are. We don’t have to wonder if we are beautiful. We live our lives singing and dancing, and sharing our light, our joy with those around us.

So what it means to be a Christian woman is not about what we have to do or what we aren’t allowed to do. It is about how free we are. How strong we are. How absolutely happy we are.



This is a great post! Your confidence is really inspiring, though I must admit that I don’t always feel it, even as a Christian woman. I especially like your words about being soft, confident, fierce and gentle. I was think about that yesterday when I read Ruth and wrote this: http://scripturethis.wordpress.com/2011/01/08/the-ideal-woman-ruth/
