Girl talk... (maybe part 1)

Ok... So, we all know that as girls we have our very own language. And because of that, sometimes we need a little bit of translation. So, this is mainly to help boys understand what exactly we mean when we say "I'm so fat" or scream after we haven't seen someone for a month or so... But, it is also for girls to laugh at histarically because it is so true!
Here it goes...
Girl Dictionary-
"AHHHHH!!!!!"- If used exitedly while running towards someone means "OH MY WORD!!!! IT FEELS LIKE YEARS SINCE I'VE SEEN YOU!!!!!!!!!!!" If used as if scared, then you hear something climbing onto something tall (Kitchen counter, chair, stool" means "MOUSE!!!!" or "SPIDER!!!" or "KILL THAT THING!!!!!!!!!" Whatever the meaning, be prepaired for some sort of animal to kill or take out of the house. And or a Criminal that you must have a shotgun handy to take care of that dude right then and there.
"I'm so fat"- This one is tricky. If you don't understand why the girl would say such a thing aka they aren't fat you say "No you're not." As if it's not debatable. When a girl says this it either means she is bloating so feels extremely abnormaly fat, and or she is haveing a bad day and really means "Tell me that I don't look fat so that i can look in the mirror to do my hair in the morning." So, just say that they aren't fat and do everyone a favor.
"It's like I have a little food baby!"- This is something girls like myself say when we know that we aren't fat, but are starting to realize a slight gain in weight, or small bulge over the belt line.
"What!?!?!"- For the most part usually means, "Are you serious?!?" or "No way!!!" Girls don't want you to repeat whatever it is that you just said after you said it unless asked in a serious questioning tone.

Well... This is all I have for now. But, maybe there will be a part two :) Don't know yet...
Anywho. I hope all of you are doing well. PLEASE SUBSCRIBE!!!!

Life as a woman.

Before I begin I would like to list the attributes of the woman God expects from us all.
          The Proverbs 31 Woman
                An excelent wife who can find?
                 She is far more precious than jewls.
               The heart of her husband trusts in her
                  and he will have no lack of gain.
               She does him good and not harm
                  all the days of her life.
               She seeks wool and flax
                  and works with wiling hands.
               She is like the ships of a merchant,
                  she brings her food from afar.
               She rises while it is yet night,
                  and provides food for her household,
                      and portions for her maidens.
                 She considers a field and buys it,
                     with the fruit of her hands,
                         she plants a vinyard.
                  She dresses herself with strength,
                       and makes her arms strong.
                   She percieves that her merchandise is profitable.
                        Her lamp does not go out at night.
                  She puts out her hand to the distaff,
                        and her hands to the spindle.
                  She opens her hand to the poor,
                        and reaches her hand to the needy.
                   She is not afraid of snow for her houshold.
                         for all her houshold is clothed with scarlet.
                   She makes bed covering for herself,
                         her clothing is fine linen and purple.
                   Her husband is known in the gates,
                         when he sits among the elders of the land.
                  She makes linen and garments and sells them;
                          she delivers sashes to the merchant.
                   Streangth and dignity are her clothing,
                          she laughs at the day to come.
                    She opens her mouth with wisdom,
                           and the teaching of kindness is on her toungue.
                    She looks well to the ways of her houshold,
                            and does not eat the bread of idleness.
                     Her children rise up and call her blessed.
                           her husband also, and he praises her.
                     "Many women have done excelently,
                           But you surpass them all."
                      Charm is decietful and beauty is vain,
                            But a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
                       Give her of the fruits of her hands,
                              and let her works praise her in the gates.

Obviously, this is perfection.

I wanted to spend some time looking at women, and how much we really are suposed to be
doing as the "woman of the house". This is a new term to a lot of you. We seem to put an awful lot of pressure on the "Man of the House". I can think of many terms we have... Lets see: "Bread winner", "Dad", "Man of the House"... and others. But when do we ever hear of the woman? She is important too. More behind the scenes, granted, but she is there. And that is a very hard job. Have you ever really thought (if you are a young lady still living with your mother.) What your mother really does for you? When's the last time you have said "Mom, let me do the laundry today." or "Hey, I'll cook dinner, why don't you spend some time with dad?" Now, obviously the first few times she is going to think you fell off your rocker. But go ahead and try doing something for your mom, or even more than one thing. She will be gratefull, and you will get first hand experience on how hard your mom really works. Growing to be a woman after God's own heart is the best thing you could ever do in life. And let me tell you, your future husband will thank you. If you're married already, why not make the change now? It's for the better.
The verses start out with "an excelent wife, who can find?" So, obviously this is unattainable. Now you're thinking "why try if you can never reach the goal anyway?" Reaching the goal is NOT THE POINT!!! Now you're saying "wow... wow... slow down. "Not the point?" What's the point of having a goal if the point is not to reach the goal? isn't that like defeating the purpose of the word "goal"?"  Ok... In a way it is defeating the purpose... and in a way, it's a very sad thing because you will never reach the goal you have strived after your entire life... And (to be quite honest) this still confuses me too. But, The goal is perfection. On this earth you will never reach perfection,because we live in a sinful fallen world. But, we can strive wholeheartedly for perfection. When we mess up, that's because we live in this fallen world. So, there is no point to beating yourself up about not being perfect. Who is? If you can find one perfect person on this earth (excepting Jesus) I will pay you the first million dollars I get. The funny thing is, is that everyone beats themselves up because they did something wrong, the didn't stick to a diet, or the gained muscel weight instead of loosing the fat weight they were trying to loose, many other things that get us girls sometimes. My petition to you is "What really matters?" Everything in our little world revolvs around the mirror. Is that what really matters? No. It's what inside that matters. Personally, I had to stop looking in the mirror for myself to realize that I didn't have to look in the mirror and tell myself how fat I was, and how much I differed, that I needed to change. I still don't look in the mirror some days. Now, doing your hair is a little dificult, I will admit. But, if you don't see it, it looks perfect for all you know. Anyways, back to the point...
I would sugest you try living by these Proverbs 31 attributes. Just don't cut yourself down when you fail. Try your hardest to be the Godly woman, and back up that Godly man in your
life, your dad counts, don't sit and watch idly by while everyone else is growing up except for you. Grow up, enjoy it! It only comes once. Whatever you do, don't look back with regret. Regret will make the beautiful woman you are look like tattered rags to yourself, while everyone else sees the true rose that is budding up from childhood.
Don'e get me wrong, I'm not telling you to get a big head because you are a "better woman" that the other lady walking down the street. Keep your pride in check, but meanwhile a good dose of "I'm a sinner, but God has forgiven me, and I too forgive myself" Can help you walk down the road with a smile on your face, instead of the scowl that is trying to pop out inside.
I know this was long... But again, I encourage you to dig deeper into the scriptures above, keep tabs on yourself, let God help you mold yourself into the woman God wants you to be.
Thanks for reading! I know it was long... But hey... it was worth it! :)
Thanks so much, I hope this did you some good.

Girls

So, to start off... I'm sure we have all heard the poem "Girls are made of sugar, and spice, and everything nice." I am going to take a stand against my own kind and say this is SO not true about most girls I know today, including myself. I would much rather go out, and catch a frog with the guys, than prance over posies and watch as the boys catch the frogs. Not saying that I don't every once in a while go out, get all dressed up and fancy... But, I (personaly) can go from makeup to dirt in 30 seconds flat. :)
But, this leads me to another situation. Are girls rejecting their feminity way to extremely? So many girls today go around as if getting dressed up is a sin or something. I'm not saying it's bad to wear pants, nor am I saying you need to wear a dress and makeup every day of your life. I am a strong believer of flaunting natrual beauty. Do you really need that makeup every morning? Please tell me who would care. Not just the girl at work whom you're always trying to make yourself look better than, I'm talking about the people who matter the most... Your husband, your children, your best friends, your boyfriend... people like that. I don't wear makeup around my boyfriend on purpose (believe it or not)! For some reason, I have always pictured being a girl who just looks normal then when she comes down the stairs for the first prom with her boyfriend, he can't stop staring at her, because he isn't used to seeing her that way. I will say, that I don't usually get all dressed up when I'm going to see my boyfriend, but, when I do get all dressed up, it's different and more exciting. And, honestly, I like it better that way.
In this paragraph, I'm going to get something out. Girls are snotty creatures. Period. End of story. I know some amazing women whom I strive to be like, who have all dampened their "snobbyness" you might say. I hold these women very highly, and think everyday "Would _________ have done/said that?" But, these women are not perfect. I'm sure there are times when they forget to say please and thank you. And times when they can't control their emotions any better than I can. But, they still strive, and that amazes me. I have problems with being a little bossy, and saying things that I probably don't mean. Because my mouth opens way before I think about what I'm about to say. Have you ever caught yourself in the middle of a sentence, right before you were about to say something nasty, then suddenly say "nevermind."? Whenever this happens to me, I think first about how awful it would have been if I had said this thing, then why the thought ever happened in the first place. Sometimes, the second thought is the one that scares me most. I am still a very snobby creature, and have a lot of work to do.
The point of this blog I think, is to tell you that girls are not all they are made out to be. We are not better than boys, or anything like that. We have work to do, in a lot of areas, some different than others. And I would like girls to stop acting like they are so much better than everyone else.
