God Creating Woman

I am convinced that this was the conversation between God and Adam:

“Adam look at the mess you are making around Paradise!” God exclaimed.

“I’m sorry, Father,” Adam replied, “I will get it cleaned up soon after I am finished naming all of the animals and finding my shepherd’s hook.”

God mumbled under His breath, “Ugh!! This will never get back to the beautiful place I created. I need to make a helper for Adam. It has to be someone who can keep things tidy, help keep Adam in line, and help him find the things he loses. Hmm…I got it! I am going to create a woman from Adam while he is sleeping!”

Be Proud

My mom has told me that if women and men could take turns having babies (starting with the woman first), all families would only have 3 children. Men would not go through childbirth more than one time. 🤣 It is amazing (when you really think about it) all that women can do.

• Of course, our bodies bring life into the world.
• In our homes we are:
  • Therapists
  • Doctors/Nurses
  • Judges
  • Teachers
  • Librarians
  • Investigators
  • Chefs
  • Maids
  • Janitors
  • Uber drivers
  • Lovers
  • Fighters
• We can multi-task.
• We keep things running smoothly (most of the time).
• We can be emotional support (a soft place to fall) for our friends and family.

Take Care of Yourself

There are going to be times when you think you just can’t do it all. Believe me, we have ALL felt that way. With all of the hats we have to juggle, it is going to happen at some point. When those feelings come up, it is God’s way of telling you to take a break. Take care of yourself. Because if you don’t take care of you, everyone around you will suffer too. For me, It’s natural to give all that I have to others. And I feel guilty sometimes to take a break just for me. I have to force myself to take a break. Here are some ways to take care of yourself:

• Take a soaking bath.
• Read a good book.
• Read the Bible.
• Listen to calming music and meditate.
• Binge-watch your favorite shows/movies.
• Go out with friends.
• Get your hair done.
• Get a mani-pedi.
• Get a makeover.
• Go dancing.
• Retail therapy.

Support Each Other

We, as women, need to be proud of all that we accomplish in a day. We are the glue that keeps this world together. We need to support each other as women and not tear each other down. Nothing makes me sadder than seeing women tearing down other women. We have enough drama in our lives to worry about.

Choose friends you can confide in when it seems like your world is crumbling all around you. And when all else fails, call your mother.
