Our World Has Created A False Unrealistic Image Of What Women Are Supposed To Look Like And Act Like. But The Truth Is That Every Woman Was Not Created By God To Be Skinny, With A Flawless Complexion And Long Flowing Hair. Not Every Woman Was Intended To Juggle A Career As Well As All Of The Other Duties Of Being A Wife, Mother, Citizen, And Daughter. Single Women Should Not Be Made To Feel They Are Missing Somenthing Because They Are Not Married. Married Women Should Not Be Made To Feel They Must Have A Career To Be Complete. We Must Have The Freedom To Be Our Individual Selves.

I'll Be Happy When These Kids Finally Grow Up And Get Out Of Here. If I Had A Bigger House, I Would Be Happy. Well, I Got A Big House. Now If I Just Had A Maid To Clean, I'd Be Happy.

Because My Dad Abused Me, I Was Determined To Never Let A Man Tell Me What To Do. God Clearly Showed Me That I Needed To Be A Submissive Wife If I Wanted To Be Effective In Ministry. The Truth Is, If We Don't Learn To Submit To Authority, We Won't Ever Learn To Submit To God.

I'm Going To Make It!"

We Don't Think There's Something Wrong With One- Year-old Children Because They Can't Walk Perfectly. They Fall Down Frequently, But We Pick Them Up, Love Them, Bandage Them If Necessary, And Keep Working With Them. Surely Our Heavenly Father Can Do Even More For Us Than We Do For Our Children.
