What This Is All About

Hey there! Recently the idea of this blog came into my head. I prayed about it and talked about it with a couple friends with wise advice. I, of course, was so excited about the prospect of doing something like this, and soon my friends became excited too. I know that God has specifically ordained the roles of men and women to be different but complementary. This blog may occasionally touch on the roles of men, but only to show the contrast that exists between their role and women's role. God has showed me much these past few years, especially this past school  year, what it looks like to be a woman who embraces the role that He has given.

I do recognize that part of biblical womanhood is learning from older, godly women. I also recognize that I am only nineteen years old. But my goal in writing this blog is not to teach, but to merely show what I have been learning and hope to encourage my peers to learn with me. Much of what I will discuss comes directly from the Bible and commentaries on it. Often, I will quote authors such as Elizabeth George, who are in the "older, godly women" category. I will talk about sermons that I have heard on being a godly woman. As you can see, though it is I who writes, my thoughts will be a compilation of what older godly women (and some men too!) have to say on this subject.

This is a topic that is controversial. This view of womanhood is becoming less popular and more offensive simultaneously. I realize that some people who come across this will think that I am old-fashioned and a little ridiculous. But I am not doing this for their sake. My goal is never to offend or criticize. I am just going to share what God is teaching me. My view of femininity is becoming increasingly "out-dated", but here is the truth on that matter: God does not change. Malachi 3:6-"For I, the Lord, do not change..." In other words, society's view on femininity has changed, but God's has not. I want to look to Him and see what He wants from me as a woman, because in doing that I know I will be able to please Him.
