Proverbs 31:30

"Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate."


This is one of not only my favorite verses but chapters in the bible. The reason being that it kindles my fire to be a set apart young woman.In the world it is popular these days to be an independent woman, to prove to men that we are better than them, that we don't need them. But hey guess what.... We need them!!! Sorry to burst your bubble, but it's the truth. When I look at today's "Young women" it makes me sad, because all they want is to leave there parents, to be there "own person" and not to "settle" for marriage because it would mean that they would have to settle down and be wives. And there are those who when they get married they feel like they should be the boss and not let there husbands be in charge of them, and they warn them before marriage "You wont be bossing me around" "Don't think I'll be doing all the house work you will do your far share". But the bible says,"Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, His body, of which He is the savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to there husbands in everything". I don't know about you but I think that's pretty clear. But it also goes on to say, " Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself to her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to Himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. In the same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church- for we are members of the body. That's pretty cool! As Christ loved the church? He died for the church, a man is called to love his wife so much he would give his life for her. So the way I see it we don't loose out at all, come on! So anyway that's my Sunday ramblings I hope you could make sense of it. I just wanted to say that it's okay if we are the weaker gender. Even before we are married.

Well that's all for now.
