I was taught:

For years I prided myself on not being a lady. A woman, maybe, but definitely not a lady. I thought that ladies were weak, and I wanted to be strong. In my mind, that meant that I had to be more like a man.

I can still remember a conversation I had with my late grandmother. "Women can do anything men can do!" I told her.

"Yes," she replied, "but should they?" She paused before adding, "Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should." That day, I had no clue what my grandmother meant. But, now, I finally understand.

After I decided to live my life for Christ, I began seeking His will, and His divine plan for womanhood. I wanted to know why He thought that a world without women was "not good." I wanted to know who He said that I was, not just as a woman, but as His woman.

We all know what the world's idea of a strong woman is, but what about God's? Where does He say that your strength lies? Come and visit "Calling All Women" every month as we talk about God's divine plan for women, and practical ways we can live it out in our everyday lives.
