First, let’s get one thing straight: Don’t believe the lie
that because you’re a woman there is something wrong with you. Quite the
opposite! You are the crowning jewel of all creation. Once God made woman He
saw no need to create anything else! His masterpiece was complete.
I am going to be coming at this predominately from where I
am in life; however, from our preteen years until our last days, we all fight
our own hormonal battles. This series can apply to you regardless of your stage
in the journey.
Now, let’s look at the widely accepted "Female Excuse." In
Bible times, one week a month the women would move into seclusion…nowadays (for
ladies who have not yet had the change of life), we’re either about to start,
in the middle of, or recovering from. We
only have one good week a month! And during our one good week we want to
know why everyone else is so rude to us. Well, sisters, it’s because we ticked
them off the last 3 weeks all in the name of hormonal imbalance!
**Now, I am not saying that
there is never a physiological reason behind your struggles. I myself battled
depression for many years and have no doubt that there was a chemical imbalance
at play…but science has proven time and again that until you get your mind
focused and on the right track, all the medicine in the world cannot make you whole again.
So
where did this session come from? About two and a half years ago, Tim and I
sadly lost our second baby when I was about 2 and a half months pregnant. One
day during that pregnancy I was talking to my mom and I said, “You know, I get
this stuff about how the Bible tells us to conduct ourselves, but the Bible
doesn’t say anything about what to do when you’re hormonal!” First I
thought…well Jesus was a man…He didn’t have to deal with all this! But then I
thought that is probably good, because He would have changed His mind a million
times about whether or not to go to the cross! But all joking aside, I know God
well enough to know that He never leaves us hanging. So I began to investigate...And
these are my findings…I hope you will have an open mind and really put some
effort into taking these things in….
More
coming soon. Please share this series with the ladies in your life who could
use a good laugh and a little encouragement from the Word that our God is in
control even when we are losing it! J
