Independent. Assertive. Career-oriented. Entitled. Opinionated. Charming. These adjectives all describe the "esteemed woman" of today. She is defined by them. Most women want to be her. Young women are strongly encouraged to attain these characteristics and model after this "esteemed woman". This is not the woman we want to be.
We are striving to be like the excellent woman in Proverbs 31. Super Woman. She is excellent in all she does. Excellence is defined as: superior, extraordinary, outstanding in quality. Some of her characteristics are: trustworthy, hard-working, diligent, selfless, generous, discerning, resourceful, prepared, wise, compassionate, and above all, she fears the Lord.
We know that we won't wake up one day and be this Super Woman without any diligent preparation right now. Who we are now is who we will be in the future. NOW is when we need to be preparing and disciplining ourselves to be like this Super Woman.
So far, in Girls Workshops, we have learned to 1) be women of the word, 2) pursue Theophobia, and 3) be diligent and not idle with our time. We have been disciplining ourselves to be like this Super Woman and will continue to do so. We are going to continue blogging about Super Woman and how we can practically pursue being like her now.
