A letter from the King
A friend shared this with me and I want to share it with you. I pray you are blessed in reading it, I know I was. Thanks Kim.
The only prerequisite you need to become a woman of God is the desire to live by the word of God. Our God sees the desires of our hearts long before He hears our voices. He knows that we long to please Him, and that brings Him pleasure. He will give us strength when we are weak. He will give us direction when we become confused. Jesus will smile when He mentions our names before the Father. No matter how hard it is for you to believe, God made no mistakes when He formed you. You are beautiful to Him, and the more you believe this truth, the more beautiful you become.
And He loves you, just as you are. Hear Him speaking directly to you in this letter:
When I created the heavens and the earth, I spoke them into being. When I created man, I formed him and breathed life into his nostrils. But you, woman, I fashioned after I breathed the breath of life into man because your nostrils were too delicate. I allowed a deep sleep to come over him so I could patiently and perfectly fashion you.
Man was put to sleep so that he could not interfere with the creativity. From one bone I fashioned you. I chose the bone that protects man's life. I chose the rib which protect his heart and lungs and supports him, as you are meant to do.
Around this one bone I shaped you. I modeled you I created you perfectly and beautifully, Your characteristics are as the rib - strong, yet delicate ad fragile. You provide protection for the most delicate organ in man: his heart. His heart is the center of his being; his lungs hold the breath of life.
The rib cage will allow itself to be broken before it will allow damage to the heart. Support man as the rib cage supports the body. You were not taken from his feet, to be under him, nor were you taken from his head, to be above him. You were taken from his side, to stand beside him and to be held close to his side.
You are my perfect angel. You are my beautiful little girl. You have grown to be a splendid woman of excellence, and my eyes fill when I see the virtue in your heart. Your eyes - don't change them. Your lips - how lovely when they part in prayer. Your nose, so perfect in form. Your hands, so gentle to touch. I've caressed your face in your deepest sleep; I've held your heart close to mine.
Of all that lives and breathes, you are the most like Me. Adam walked with Me in the cool of the day, and yet he was lonely. He could not see Me or touch Me. He could only feel Me. So everything I wanted Adam to share and experience with Me, I fashioned in you: My holiness, My strength, My purity, My love, My protection and support. You are special because you are an extension of Me. Man represents My image. Woman, My emotions. Together you represent the totality of God.
So, man, treat woman well. Love her, respect her, for she is fragile. In hurting her, you hurt Me. What you do to her, you do to Me. In crushing her, you damage your own heart, the heart of your Father and the heart of her Father.
Woman, support man. In humility, show him the power of emotion I have given you. In gentle quietness, show your strength. In love, show him that you are the rib that protects his inner self.

Be careful what you wish for :)
I've been away for a while now, but I'm baaaack:)
I took a brief fast from the internet so that I could focus n what the miracle of Easter means to me. although I did miss a "date" and there were moments it was really hard not to check Facebook, I made it through. :)
Did I ever tell you that I prayed for a strong child? Yep I hear the laughter... Every day of my pregnancy with Kaelin I prayed for a strong child. I prayed that she would not fall victim to the people pleasing ways that plagued my childhood. I prayed that she would not be broken by those who did not agree with her. I prayed that she would lead women. OH BOY!! Did I ever get what I prayed for!!
Little did I know that I would be her first testing ground! Laugh on, I'll admit it I wasn't a mom, I had no clue what I was in for! So if I complain too loudly, just remind me that I prayed for this... gently please :) And remember, be careful what you pray for, God is listening. :)
