Heather's Definition of being a REAL WOMAN
This is what my dear friend heather has to say about being a TRUE woman! If anyone were to be a feminist, this should be the ideals you hold! If you don't, I encourage you to take it to prayer! If you are trying to live out such things she talks about and are struggling with it, rock on, keep your head up, and like me, take it to prayer as well and ask God to lead you! Ask the Blessed Mother to intercede so that you may become the best woman you need to be!
here's heather:
"There is a beauty in knowing one's true womanhood and what God has made us to be.
This is my ideal of a woman:
I am a woman...who does not have to be like the typical women of our society.
I am a woman...who is striving to fear God in all aspects of my life and to please Him the best that I can.
I am a woman...who is not afraid to be under authority because if you really think about it, everyone is under authority in some way or another.
I am a woman...who is not afraid to say no when something is unjust or when my morals/values are being violated.
I am a woman...who is not afraid to become a servant of others, especially those whom God has place in my life to love.
I am a woman...who desires to be loved, but will not do just anything to be loved either. I will try to emulate the love that Christ has shown to us while on earth in giving my love away. I also hold Mary as the highest example of a holy woman chosen by God and responding to the call to love with all her heart.
I am a woman...who is willing to give my time and my life to others, forsaking all else that may be a priority, as long as I am bringing myself and others closer to Christ.
I am a woman...who desires to be happy in being a woman and not pretend to be something I'm not.
I am a woman...who desires to be chaste for God until just the right one comes along...
I am a woman...who wishes to respect life in all it's stages, will defend it to the end and wishes to somehow aid in bringing new life to earth.
I am a woman…who wishes to praise God in all that I do, so I will listen to what His mission is for me and try to live it everyday.
I am a woman…who wishes to be a true woman today and won’t stop no matter what people say or how much opposition comes to me.
What kind of woman are you?"
I'd love to here your reaction as well!
