The Distaff Side

This weekend we took a look at our feminine selves. We did not require mirrors, make-up, fashion or shoe shopping to embrace this creation we are realizing and we did not require anything of anyone else in the process. Not one man had to be emasculated for us to be realize our worth. Not one model had to be scrutinized in order for us to see our own beauty.

We stepped up to the foot of the cross and once more accepted the gift, and this time, we're keeping it.

A few summary thoughts from the weekend:
We are created to exemplify the heart of God.
We were not just formed, we were beautifully fashioned.
We have a purpose as women that only a woman can fulfill.
Vulnerability is a strength.
Cleaning under the hinge covers on our toilet seats is gross, but a good idea.
A tube sock on a yard stick will clean under the fridge.
Husbands are gifts that don't need fixing.
Children need fixing.
Gentleness and condescension in us, can produce greatness in our husbands.
Our souls have been restored.
We should pray more.
Our dreams should come from the dining room, not from the basement.

I'm sure there are more thoughts that could be included. These are the ones that most impacted me. Your comments should include what most impacted you.

Love you all.

  1. That night and morning was so much fun and I certainly walked away from it with memories and insight I will never forget and knowledge I intend on using so that I can reap the benefits and blessings God desires for me as the woman he designed me to be.
    -Always remember that we are restored and that makes us worthy of the dining room
    -I will never have a magazine rack in my bathroom

    Looking forward to the next time we can all get together, as there is something powerful when Godly women get together in his name:)

    With Love
