My post from yesterday was inadvertently deleted (by myself) while trying to make a correction. My desire is to reaffirm what a woman of God is designed to look like. Not debate who they aren't or what roles they can or can't have, but rather revisit what God's Word has said on the topic. To be humbly reminded who God has called us{me} to be. Revive Our Hearts ministry has taken time to search scripture and produce a True Woman Manifesto which seems to address the issue in a clear and succinct way, enhancing the positive role.

This is usually associated with the swelling of the music, a tightening of the camera angle and the perfectly timed kiss as the snow lightly falls around them. The stuff Hallmark movies are made of.
