I want to apply this as a genderal application.I refuse as a lady to give over my genderal distinction to a man.The world may love its neuter sex roles but I still
feel like what Jesus said about marriage being an example of Christ and the Church to stand as a valid point for genderal distinction.I am a very capable individual and can do most anything in the work world as a man with as much intelligence can do.I just choose not to.I don't want a stay at home hubby while I work and he changes diapers.I don't want to as the proverbial saying goes wear the pants in the family.I refuse to give up pink and wear the black nikes.
No thanks.I like perfume and girly clothes.I like doors open and yes I still like the man to pay the dinner date.My husband takes me out to dinner all the time
and he pays.When our children were born I stayed home with them.I did not let him stay home and change diapers and work.Not on your life.That traditional sense of womens roles that early Americana kept before world war II was based on the bible and a man taking responsibility for his family.Its still not outdated.
There are many cultures and many traditions but the tradition of women being feminine and wearing dresses is one I am keeping.I am keeping my long beautiful hair.
Never have I let the pastor decide for me what Jesus is talking to my heart about.That is what is wrong with people.They want the pastor to have a relationship with God and not have one them selves.Sorry but my desire to be
a lady comes from my desire to please God not man.If anyone disagrees so be it.You have to work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.I don't have to answer for the Baptist pastor down the street.I have to stand before Jesus for myself.The pastor won't be holding my hand.No one will be.Its going to be between me and God so why don't I just live my life like that.
I am so glad that I don't have to judge others.God can do that better than I can.
