A Christian Woman Thinks (And It's Dangerous)

10 Things We Struggle With

This is in response to anonymous, who commented on the previous entry that my daughter actually put on this blog. I, dear friends, have been absent for quite some time - as you may have noticed.

But, dear anonymous, whomever you are, here is what I think Christian women struggle with most. I am 41 years old.

1. Marriage

2. Dealing with children & making decisions that are Godly and right.

3. Friendships

4. Coping with time, i.e., not doing too much and speading yourself too thin. In other words, saying no occassionally.

5. Finding prayer/quiet time, time to read your Bible.

6. Gossip, or idle chatter about other people that is not helpful, but possibly hurtful.

7. Addictions, like everyone else: food, shopping, computer time, etc.

8. Aging - and doing it gracefully. Trying to answer questions like, am I too old to pierce my nose? Are tattoos okay in God's eyes? (You may chuckle here)

9. Along with aging, our health, and taking time to keep ourselves in good health. We are often sleep deprived and do not eat foods our bodies need, at regular intervals.

10. Marriage (worth two entries, in my book).

Any other comments? Anyone else get asked to contribute?

I want to take a moment to say hello to long-lost friends here, too, including Darcy, if she's still out there somewhere in Montana. Would love to say hi soon.

Hmmm
What I think christian women struggle with?

1. Peer Pressure when raising their children.
2. Fear: fear of not being 'accepted'.
3. Ministry (see BUSY acronym)
4. Knowing their 'place' in God's Economy.
5. Liberalism
6. Sassy mouths / Gossip
7. Worrying about the "outside" instead of their insides
8. Watching TV / Sitting in front of the computer
9. Raising their children to Love the Lord with ALL their heart, mind, soul and strength.
10. Lists and Busyness. They have to have lists of rules, they have to have a list of guidelines....they think busy is good...they do not know how to "Be Still".

I check on your blog whenever I log on and I got so excited to see you post something. I miss hearing about you and your life. It's sad... I see you on Sunday in passing but don't really get a chance to sit down and have a heart to heart chat. We should do that soon. Love you!
