There's this way of doing female-ness in Christianity that I call "pastel flower journal Christianity." I've got nothing against pastel flower journals per se, but for some reason people believe it's the end all and be all of female spirituality, and I think it's a real disservice towards young Christian women.
One of these days I'd like to start a prayer-and-reading group or something for young women, but there would be no floral themes or over-focus on how "God thinks you're beautiful even if the world doesn't" (a true statement, but it's wayyyyy too often the focus in women's spiritual reading). Instead we would be reading:
Seneca's Letters from a Stoic
Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning
Sheed's A Map of Life
Portions of Pieper's book on leisure
Kreeft's Three Philosophies of Life
Guardini's The Lord (or something similar)
Therese's Story of a Soul
and some select portions of the Nicomachean Ethics.
(Also they're all getting the porn talk. I don't know why we give the porn talk to young men but not young women. There's this idea that women don't use porn and they only need the talk about "guarding their heart." Bullshit. There's porn on the YA shelves of Barnes and Nobles and before that there were bodice rippers. Young women need the porn talk too.)
Every young woman needs to be getting a basic grounding in virtue ethics, logic, natural law, scholastic philosophy and Biblical hermeneutics if they're going to get by in today's spiritual landscape. Enough faffery and emotionalism in young women's spiritual education! Give them real food to chew on, not pasty sentimentalism!

The routine of a virtuous woman to inspire your own
She wakes up earlier than all others at home - (Proverbs 31:15)
Dedicates her first moments in the morning to God (Proverbs 31:30)
Prepares the family meal with calm and organize her daily tasks (Proverbs 31:15)
Takes care of her appearance - not be complimented by people outside, but by her own family (Proverbs 31:25)
Takes care of her family needs and do the daily maintenance of her home (Proverbs 31:27)
Works with effort and dedication. Wherever she goes she’s a testimony of her family’s good reputation (Proverbs 31:13)
Tries to be creative and bring new investments and opportunities to her family (Proverbs 31:16)
Even at night she’ll save some energy and liveliness to use with her husband (Proverbs 31:18)

Birth control and abortion were not made legal to allow women to have control over their bodies. It was invented to add the domestic population to the work force.

"I can't stand the 'I'm not like other girls' trope!"
It's almost like we raised an entire generation of women to be ashamed of womanhood and then made fun of them when they behaved exactly how we taught them to.
If you teach girls that femininity is weakness, pink is for ditsy princesses, and that they need to "hustle" and be a "boss babe" to live a life that's "as worth much as a man's" they're going to do anything they can to make sure people know they aren't like "those girls."

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Bible Study- Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 ♡
Tumblr media
"There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens:
a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace."
In a time like now filled with many distractions, it is easy to be tempted by procrastination. As a college student, I tend to be very harsh on myself when I am not as productive as I would like to me or if I spend too much time doing things other than studying or work. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 reminds me that there is a time for all things to take place.
Be kind to yourself when you fall short of your expectations because every season has its purpose, and it's okay to have periods of rest and downtime <3
