It's hard to separate.<BR/><BR/>When God said that he wanted the sexes to look different, though, I think that He was implying that He created the two different for a purpose-- for the wife and man to complete one another and to be different.<BR/><BR/>So, I wouldn't think dressing like a guy is a good thing, and I don't think that you always have to wear pink/lace/big hat, but you do have to have a heart for God and look/act in some way like a lady.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28441047.post-1154573597523147112006-08-02T22:53:00.000-04:002006-08-02T22:53:00.000-04:00I had a baby girl...that changed everything for me...I had a baby girl...that changed everything for meAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28441047.post-1154523536097679822006-08-02T08:58:00.000-04:002006-08-02T08:58:00.000-04:00Femininity stems from the heart, not flowery hats ...Femininity stems from the heart, not flowery hats :) Although, I like me some hats!!!

I sound a lot like you except I don't really struggle with it. <BR/><BR/>Okay, I do feel bad sometimes that I am not a good homemaker (cleaning, cooking, etc) but when I tried to force myself to be those things, I was very unhappy. <BR/><BR/>Stacey made some great points and I think they line up with the Proverbs 31 woman idea. It's more about what is inside, the outside manifestation may be different for everyone. Don't we have freedom in Christ to not be yoked to any idea of the perfect women?<BR/><BR/>Just thinking out loud.Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04697072499214349759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28441047.post-1154515948784096902006-08-02T06:52:00.000-04:002006-08-02T06:52:00.000-04:00I decided a while ago that being feminine is more ...I decided a while ago that being feminine is more than what you wear, carry, or look like. It has more to do with who you are. While I decided a bit ago to buy some casual dresses, which are IMPOSSIBLE to find, those dresses will not make me any more feminine. I think it's the way you carry yourself, the way you behave, the grace, wisdom, and love that a woman shows which makes her feminine. Not her clothes, or linen napkins. While I do not dismiss the beauty in some floral dresses, a woman's true beauty comes from within, and her love for the Lord. God made you who you are, and if you do not have a hankerin for a dress with flowers, little heels, and a handbag draped over your arm I would NOT stress. :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
