Reclaiming My Femininity Part 2

 Last month, I shared my journey to reclaim my Godly femininity. Quick run down for those who are new. In 2013, my relationship of twelve years crashed and burned after he decided to be a full-time abusive alcoholic. I decided I was not going to subject our daughter to that chaos. After that, I spent eleven years raising her on my own. At some point I lost that part of me that enjoyed painting my nails, wearing a dress or skirt, and having my hair done. 


Flash forward to now. I no longer have to balance mom and dad roles. I can get back to being the woman who enjoyed an occasional manicure and/or pedicure. And taking time to do my hair. Honesty moment: I haven't worn a dress in public in years until my daughter's 21st birthday. Yeah! I haven't worn heels in a long time. Okay, heels are more about seduction. I prefer being barefoot anyway. It'll be nice not to have to worry about fire ants. YEAH!!!! 


Let's talk about the wardrobe of a Godly feminine woman.. I have more leggings and graphic tees than I care to count. I know this must change. Baby Steps! I am gradually switching over to a Godly feminine wardrobe. Last month I purchased a caftan. I haven't seen these in years. I was a small child when they were popular in the 1970s. But they are back in vogue here in America. In Arabic and African countries, they have always been in style. Check out Pinterest and see the beautiful caftans there. These folks make the most beautiful caftans ever. 


Here's where I will share videos which I am learning a lot from. These young ladies have the modesty thing down. As a young woman, I had a nice physique and didn't have a problem showing it. At 52, I realized how foolish that was now. Given the quality of guys attracted to me was yuk… Now, I am more interested in attracting a MAN who is the kind of husband material God intended him to be.

War Is A Racket

  This is an excellent quick read. If you don’t have ADHD, it’s a quick read. I started this book before Thanksgiving so between the holidays and every day crazy train I finally finished it. Of course, I made notes in each chapter about my thoughts. We’ll see if this helped compared to the chapter-by-chapter review we did on The New Confessions Of An Economic Hit Man by John Perkins.  Throughout the book, General Butler covers the ins and outs of war. He looks at the financial cost and the human cost. He starts out by explaining how the military-industrial complex was formed. Which I do think is critical. Most people in America don’t understand what the military-industrial complex is. Never mind how it is used. I am not going into detail here just read The New Confessions Of An Economic Hit Man. You will understand the order in which things unfold. The minority of Americans know who profits from war and who doesn’t. General Butler covers that as well. You will notice I said ‘m...

How America Angered God Lust

  We left off at Wrath. Now we will continue this list and finish it out. Sin: Lust This is the sin that nails us all. It is wanting power, pleasure, and money. Not necessarily all of these but one or all.  I grew up in the 1980s so when I think of examples of this particular sin I am reminded of Jim Baker and Jessica Hawn. He was married to Tammy and lusted after two things; money and Jessica. Their lust brought them down in the end. Tammy had her own lust for money that contributed to their downfall.  Ten Commandment:  Thou shall not commit adultery.  Virtue: Chastity Being chaste is recommended by Christ. In the book of Mathew chapters 19: 12 and 22: 20 Christ talks of being chaste. Being chaste teaches discipline. https://youtu.be/7Y8lHwOIu_A
