THE FLAWED WOMAN!!!!!


"A spiteful boss, a defiant employee, a manipulative mother, a desperate housewife, an envious sister…honey, we know these women. We’ve lived with them, worked with them, or caught a glimpse of them in our mirrors.

Now let’s take a look at their ancient counterparts in Scripture: Sarah mistreated her maidservant, Hagar despised her mistress, Rebekah manipulated her son, Leah claimed her sister’s husband, and Rachel envied her fertile sister.

They were far from evil, but hardly perfect. Mostly good, yet slightly bad. In other words, these matriarchal mamas look a lot like us." :Liz Curtis Higgs
How many of us today has done something that society would see as flawed?, how many of us are doing something, planning to do something that can be considered flawed?. The percentage if honest; is staggering. I implore you to take a gander at your life ...past and present, any flaws? I can honestly say yes! for my own life and even in the present and future it probably will be more , because just like some of the ladies of the bible; I am a flawed woman. I ask you all this not to be judgemental, on the contrary. But to break the barrier of woman hating/bashing of one another. We are the mothers of this earth and believe me no matter how we see fit to live our lives, there will always be a disapproving nose in the air to point out the flaws...{do you know that person?/ are you that person?} being a woman is hard enough without judgement, well some like to think that there's flawless woman out there...well think about all the things that can be flawless? makeup, airbrush, paint, shoes just to name a few, but what do these things have in common? they are a superficial items that are made to cover up flaws...NO ONE IS PERFECT and you don't have to be either.
Happy flaws!!!!!
