I was at a meeting this afternoon and mentioned that I was starting a blog. "Oh, what about?" I hemmed and hawed because of the type of meeting that was about to start then in a split second decided to be honest."It's about something that has intrigued me for many years. What does a Christian Woman look like?" The immediate response was: " Proverbs 31, of course!" I was wondering how long it would take for that particular scripture to come up.
What I want to look at is more than that. How does Proverbs 31 and all of the other scriptures aimed at women play out in day to day living? As well as the other scriptures related to christian living in general. How do we weave God's Word into the fabric of our lives. Is it the yarn of choice? An accent thread? A shiny accent to dress up the whole cloth? Do you understand where I want to go?
First I have to define what I mean by "Christian Woman". I am not talking about christian in the secular sense. Christian as in not Muslim, Catholic, Buddhist etc. I am talking about Christian as in a woman who has accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as her savior, Acts 4:12. What happens after that?
I am so glad you are not taking the Proverbs 31 route. I think we all go there and then we don't look any further but there are so many others I think that depict what a Christian woman would look like to me. For example: Esther, Ruth, Naomi, Sarah, Deborah, Mary Magdalene, Martha and Mary, Mary the mother of Jesus and the list can go on. You got my attention. I hope one day, I can even write as a guest blogger. I will be sharing this blog with a few of my friends I hope you don't mind.
