girl stuff

I love being a girl. Sure there have been those times wishing I had been born a boy to fit in more such as when playing sports or going to car shows or when working at dad's shop - there are only so many times a girl can see that surprised look on a guy's face when he sees her fixing his chainsaw's blade or when he finds out she can change a car's oil. There are numerous other accounts of when girls feel guys have it better but I am pretty sure we all come to the point of really loving being a girl. I could list the reasons why it is so great to be a girl but we don't want to be here for eternity reading through them all.

On many different occasions I have gone through the Bible by studying all the women who had significant roles. What amazing role models! These women knew how great it is being female and they took full advantage of that. Look at Esther, do you think a guy could have waltzed into King Ahasuerus's room like that and not be killed? I am going to go out on a limb and say not a chance! There will always be the question about why the spies went into a prostitute's house to hide but however your view on that is, it wouldn't even matter if it was not Rahab but instead a male prostitute as I am extremely positive those spies would have been way on the other side of the city. I know God could have had Jesus come into the world in another way but for being born a human it was pretty imperative that there was a mother. I am only naming an extreme few of the many accounts of how women helped bring God's plan into fruition, but I think it's obvious that God cares for more than the men. Far too many girls see the leadership roles men have and the great things the guys are able to do and think they are second rate humans because they are girls. I am so glad the Bible included the accounts of these great women and how God used them.

We have huge responsibilities for God's plan and have huge spots in God's love and care. We are His princesses and need to treat not only each other but ourselves in such light. How we treat ourselves reflects back onto our King. How are we reflecting Christ to the world?
