Spring is in the air
The weather has been great! The sun has been shining, the wind has been cool, but pleasant, the temperature has been just right. It's amazing how this season roles around ever year, providing us a chance to watch flowers bloom, trees open, birds return. My spirits are always buoyed when the warmer weather returns, a true reminder of God's eternally returning love and caring! No matter what else is going on, a beautiful day will always bring me around! Opening of plants after a cold winters sleep is really amazing. Do I dare make the cliche comparison to our coldness (winter) and spring opening (God's love)? It may be a little over the top, but it's true. He keeps allowing us back no matter what we have done. If only the world could learn from God's love and treat each other the way we should be - and using his example! It takes true humility to be able bow down to God's wishes and do what is expected. We need to be able to go beyond our wishes and do what's right.

Humility
Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. (Colossians 3:12 - 14)
As a women, it is so absolutely important that you bear witness to these things. Humility is probably the most important, but one that can be a challenge to keep. Giving praises to God is the most important thing that a person can do and part of the way to do that is to be humble. This includes how you behave, talk, dress, work with others, and how you live every aspect of your entire life.
First. you should not be dressing in a way to reveal your body in inapprorpiate ways. A part of a women's job is to hold herself for her husband. Some women feel that sharing their body is a great way to attract men and feel they should sleep around or things like that. You need to hold yourself for your husband and should be ready to share that with the world!
The way you talk and behave is also extremely important. Are you loud? Do you use inaprorpiate words or hand gestures? Do you sit or act in a way that does not show love for your body, which is a gift from God? You need to be sure that you are holding and carrying yourself like a lady, ready to speak of God's word and how that influences your life! Be ready to praise and share what you know to be true!!
In your job, wether you are a student, a teacher, a doctor or anything else, be ready to credit God with all your success. You couldn't get where you are without Him and won't keep going if He chooses another path for you.
Hold in the commandments that beloved God wants for you. You are one of his wonderful, special children, and He only wants wonderful things for you, but will not tolerate you doing what you want and not His word.
