* Thank you for the comments on “Being A Girl”. “Created To Be A Woman” was written with you in mind.*
Being a girl what a beautiful, wonderful creation of God! Yet, what potential for ugliness when we reject in any small way what and who God created us to be as females. (Gen. 1:27)
I love the book by Elizabeth Elliot “Let Me Be A Woman” She is a smart woman with sense and a beautiful, biblical display of femininity. I strongly suggest every young lady read that book. I am so glad to be in such good company when it comes to this topic. She is a real woman of God.
My Mom taught me when I was just a young girl that I should always act like a lady. I am so thankful that she did. I notice that some women feel the need to encourage their daughter’s to act just like a boy. They encourage and even act like it’s cute when their girls will self proclaim, “I’m a Tom Boy”.
When we reject God’s plan for our lives even in what seems small and “cute” ways, we become ugly inside and out, fast.
My Mom taught me to enjoy being in the house and around the home. I remember a time when I was really young that I wanted to go out in the barnyard to just be with the guys. They were working on machinery or something in the yard. I was ready to run out the door when Mom made sure I came back. She said, “Holly, you stay inside with me, that’s a job for the men”. She did this a couple of times that I can remember. It made me realize that there is a difference in men and women a wonderful, awesome and beautiful difference.
I was never bent on being like the guys. I never ever thought about being anything but the girl I was made to be. But I needed to be taught what a beautiful thing it is to be a woman in everyway. I needed to be shown and my Mother was my example.
I am so thankful that my Mother encouraged me to be a woman. She encouraged me and my sister’s to dress, talk and act like women. These qualities are almost totally lost today. Women need to be who God created them to be, love it and live under the beauty of submission to it.
Since my Mother taught me at an early age to be a woman in every way I am happy and embrace and love the woman God made me to be. And I cannot imagine it any other way.
So if your a girl be a girl! Do girlish things…throw like a girl…enjoy and love the girl God made you to be. He did it for a reason.
