Celebrating the female



I had such great fun at a women's meeting last week. There's something wonderful about being with women who love God and understand the beauty that God has deposited in women. Being of Yoruba origin, I was not raised to celebrate womanhood but motherhood. I couldn't fully "enjoy" my femaleness and femininity until I became a mother. Thank God, He helped me through His word to find spiritual joy in being His son.

Recently, I have begun to celebrate not just the fact that I am a Christian but the fact that I am female (neqeba - Hebrew) and not only Ishshah (womb forming man) which is 'somewhat' tied to marriage and motherhood. I now have every puzzle piece in place and relish Adonai's grace.

Thank You Elohim for making me female!
