WOMAN

Janitor, maid, chef, mom, grandmother, friend, counselor, baker, nurse, mediator, lifeguard, cheerleader, listener, writer, errand runner, trash collector, party planner, yard lady, pool woman, stylist, book keeper, laundry mat owner, handywoman and lifeguard are my titles around my home.  Do any of you have these titles?  A woman’s work is never finished or completed when you have children.  Even though my children are 25, 22 and 20 I still fall into the role of “Mom.”

God created mothers on the sixth day and on the seventh day He had rest, of course He did.  Creating a person, that had to be the holder of so many jobs, was hard work.  He had to create that which the man has a hard time becoming, sorry about that men.  The woman has to possess the whole package mentally, physically and spiritually.  She has to be one tough cookie and be able to handle situations and circumstances that bring joy and sorrow, smiles and tears. 

If you feel overwhelmed you should because you are a woman. Our jobs are never ending and require a 24-hour shift,  not a three day 12 hour.  Our lives are consumed and overwhelmed with the daily grind of the titles we hold. 

The one way to find rest in the midst of the 24-hour workday is by reading His word.  You may laugh and say, “I don’t have time for that.”  However it is the best and most rewarding time you can spend.  You can find the answer to any problem within the pages of the Bible.  These words help us with all the battles we must face as being a woman.  The wisdom found amongst the words gives us what is needed for sibling battles, emotional breakdowns, educational worries, unknown stressors and much more. 

Knowing God is what gives us the ability to have demanding jobs.  It is through Him that we have wisdom to share and love to give.  He gives us the peace we need to weather the storms of being a woman.  He gives us real advice that is useful for everything that is present within our life.
