#Christian women

[ffcrazy15]

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!

Women were NOT put on this earth to serve men, get married as soon as they turn 18 and pop out a hundred and one babies before 25.

Women were put on this earth to serve GOD and glorify him in everything that they do. Marriage and motherhood is one way, not the way.

God loves us,

We are meant to love each other, everyone

Accept who you are and who you will become

Don't let your past define you but shape your future for who you will be

Love isn't rushed or sexual

It's within us to share and appreciate

Enjoy you're time while you still have some

And always be joyous even in bad situations

Heal from what has broken you

Propser from where you are now

Be happy. Be loved. Show love.

-Once at peace

God Loves Imperfect People

Most of the time, we believe that God loves us as long as we’re making good decisions, resisting temptation, and treating people right. But there will be times when you compromise, times when you have doubts, times when you fail. When we don’t perform perfectly, it’s easy to think that God is far from us.

I say this respectfully, but sometimes religion pushes people down. It says, “If you make poor choices, you’re on your own.” But the truth is that when you fall, God doesn’t turn away from you. He comes running toward you. When you blow it, God doesn’t say, “Too bad. You had your chance.” Rather, He comes after you with a greater passion. When you make a mistake, God loves you so much that He pursues you. He won’t leave you alone until He sees you restored and back on the right course. That’s the mercy of God coming after you. God loves imperfect people.

Why Free Will Doesn't Mean What You Think It Does

Many people believe that free will gives us unlimited freedom, but Scripture suggests otherwise: we’re given the freedom to choose between two distinct paths, not infinite options.

Free will, from a biblical standpoint, means choosing between God’s way and the enemy’s way—life or death (Deuteronomy 30:19), blessings or curses (Deuteronomy 11:26), commitment or lukewarm faith (Revelation 3:16). In God’s eyes, there’s no grey area, only two clear directions.

God calls us to live on purpose. Purpose isn’t just about existing; it’s about living with intention and direction according to God’s will.

“We are born looking like our parents, but we die looking like our decisions.”- Pastor Joshua McCauley

Each decision shapes our lives, and with the freedom God gives us, we decide if we follow His path or attempt to make our own way.

Purpose is the reason we exist , we all strive to figure out what our purpose is on this earth and how to fulfill it. all of this must mean something right? I was brought here for something right?

"So, what is my purpose?"

Well, it's not something we create on our own. A purposeful life is a gift from Jesus, one we can’t achieve just through behavior or goals. It’s a life given, not earned. Through Jesus, we receive grace, freeing us from sin’s power and aligning us with God’s purpose.

Proverbs 29:18 tells us, “Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; But happy is he who keeps the law” (NKJV).

In Hebrew, ḥāzôn or “revelation” here means prophetic vision or God’s guidance. Without it, life becomes chaotic, like a river spilling beyond its banks. True happiness (ashrei in Hebrew) is rooted in following God’s direction, bringing peace and purpose that go beyond surface-level happiness. Keeping (shamar in Hebrew) His law is about actively choosing and protecting our relationship with God’s Word. This dedication to God’s guidance brings a stability and joy that temporary pleasures can’t match.

“So Why Doesn’t God Stop Me from Messing Up?”

A common question: “If free will isn’t total freedom, why doesn’t God stop me from making bad choices?” God, like a loving parent, warns us but lets us experience the outcomes of our decisions. Think of it like a parent warning a child not to touch a hot stove; if the child ignores the warning, they’ll get burned. It’s a lesson in trust and obedience.

Psalm 81:11-12 explains it: “But My people would not listen to Me… so I gave them over to their stubborn hearts to follow their own devices.” God respects our choices because forced obedience isn’t real love. He wants us to choose His path willingly, knowing that His guidance is meant to protect, not control.

In the end, God offers two paths: His way, leading to purpose and peace, or the enemy’s path, leading to chaos. True freedom isn’t the power to do whatever we want, but the wisdom to choose the way that brings lasting joy and fulfillment.

It’s True.

That men and society have purposely oppressed women because they know how powerful we truly are. They know that God has equipped us with much more than they have. With the intelligence, innate intuition, spiritual knowledge, heightened consciousness & vibration, and so much more that women possess in excess… it is no wonder why we have been a large enough threat to be the main target of oppression…

And some have even justified their actions against women in the most unscrupulous ways (i.e. misinterpreting the Bible and scripture to falsely back their dispositions)…. if you actually read the Bible, for what it actually says about women… you will realize how even God thought us extremely precious beings. So much that He has said, “it is not good for a man to be alone” but NEVER said that it was not good for a woman to be alone. We were sent to earth for the very purpose that MEN CANNOT OPERATE, DO, BE, OR EXIST CORRECTLY WITHOUT US.

Especially the black or “colored” women (anyone with a large percentage of African blood or the “Eve” gene prominent in their lineage). We possess so much that others do not. It is the truth. And it is known. And it is the reason we are the most oppressed beings on earth far more so than our male counterparts. Whether people can see it or not.

The black woman is THE MOST oppressed, undervalued, unprotected, abused, neglected, disrespected, underpaid, exploited, shunned, devalued, defaced, abandoned, ignored, overlooked, discredited, disenfranchised, and belittled people on the entire face of the earth.

And it MUST stop. If the future we face will ever be bright.

When are they going to let us be who we are meant to be? When are they going to let us reveal the greatness inside ourselves?

The only women who aren’t GREAT are the ones who have been CONVINCED that they are not.

Don’t let it be you sis. Remember what you possess in abundance, the greatness to lead nations! And do not let these evils convince you of otherwise. It is literally EVIL, to try to convince someone that they are less than who they truly are. It’s called devaluation. The root word of devaluation is: devil….

Men have run the world forever… and look what they have done with it… don’t you all think it’s time for a change? Or do you wish to see it all go down in flames?

The more society oppresses women, the worse this earth will continue to become.

I want to leave you with this:

The video below is a video of the women of an Ashanti African tribe, I am descendent from these women. My father’s grandfather is 100% Ashanti African. They sing a song of a Ashanti female general and leader that led a rebellion against colonialism in modern day Ghana. Her name was Yaa Asantewa.

This is a video and an excerpt on her:

i need christian women to know that the translators and writers of the bible meant “submission” to the husband to be “submission”

there is no other nice kind of submission or mutual submission, there is no other way of being submissive

they meant submission as “the action of accepting or yielding to a superior force or to the will or authority of another person.”

stop gaslighting yourselves and each other

it is not and will never be an equal union because it was not designed to be
