There is no need to prove our worth by being like men. I am young woman and my desire is to be treated as a lady. What better way to portray my role, than to dress the part! Have you ever had a gentleman (whom you didn't know) beat you to a door that he might hold it open for you ? Have you ever been stopped by a perfect stranger and had them thank you for conducting yourself as lady. These may not be the days of knights and fair maidens but you do have a station, and those who look up to you. Be grateful for the beautiful role you were given and carry your station with pride. This coming generation is being trained to follow a crowd, this is the time to take a stand and show them how to lead. I am not talking about an uprising or revolution, but the strength to be weak. God himself has called women "the weaker vessel". My grandfather used to tell his sons: This doesn't mean the "lesser vessel" but just what it says, the weaker vessel. Unlike a stone vessel, a porcelain one would be weaker & much more fragile requiring care and protection. If our goal is to be just as good as a man, we create a competition with them and take from ourselves the respect that was dealt us.
We are women they are men, it's how we were created. Men have the self-respect and honor take their role (like a man =0) Let's embrace our role with all it's dignity and grace. Take every bit of your femininity and relish it, don't cheat yourself out of the pure pleasure of girlhood.
I have a personal conviction of being set-apart and modest, not only in my appearance but also my demeanor and character. A homely appearance will not hide a gaudy or arrogant spirit, just as a sweet, quiet personality cannot be lost in any apparel.
You are a woman, but have you chosen to be a lady?
May YHWH bless you with his presence and with his peace. ~Hana
Virtue-over-Vanity is a website as well as a blog, originally intended to encourage young women to choose their virtue over vanity and put their faith before fashion.
But then I began to think "If we work on our hearts first, eventually the outside will reveal the inside". Because:" Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh".
I have several posts that are coming and should have been out but I am touching up ....
So, posts to look for soon: Passion - Integrity - My two cents -Obedience
