This blog isn't just about style and style tips and tricks it's also about femininity in general. Femininity is more than just fashion and how you look it's also how you present yourself to the public especially when looking for a husband and teaching your daughters feminine qualities. The beauty of femininity is a gift from God and a Godly woman is something so rare nowadays. However, while it is rare it never outdated but always needed.

Despite what people think being worldly is not something you should aspire to be; going against God's natural order is not something Christians should purposely aspire to do. Before I go further, I would like to leave you with this, you can either choose to stand with the world and be judged by God or stand with God and be judged by the world. Never seek validation from the ungodly and never let the ungodly tell you how to be a Christian.

Unfortunately, the role of the feminine traditional woman has faded into the background to the point where leaving a marriage just because things get difficult has become somehow a sign of strength. Leaving isn't a sign of strength especially when things get difficult. The point is to standby each other and get through the difficult times together. That is strength and something to teach your children. Being angry isn't a sign of strength it's more intolerable than anything else. Any movement that goes against God or if you're not a Christian and it goes against logic and just the way men and women are wired should be questioned. There are plenty of people that are not Christian that know the difference between men and women and don't want to fight it because there's no need to fight the natural order. Even in the animal kingdom the male animals lead the charge.

Being feminine isn't weak it's the way God design us to be anyone who says differently isn't someone you should be listening to because they're not coming from a Godly point of view. Christianity has become so watered down that many people can call themselves Christian and not even act like one. What they miss is that everyone is a Christian until it gets biblical.
If you don't believe me that's fine however, statistics don't lie and statistically speaking since feminism women's happiness has plummeted immensely. Women are denying their femininity and it's making them unhappy. They feel they need to please a group of women that are filled with the jezebel spirit that have nothing to do with them in their everyday lives. Even many Christian women are denying their natural role because feminism has led women astray and have turned traditional women into social pariahs. Christians have become afraid to be who they know God has called them to be.

No one has diminished the valued role of a woman more than woman and the men are just going along with this rhetoric and have essentially become the gatekeepers to their bad behavior. The media, Hollywood, and even academia have a very skewed view of what femininity really is and what it means. Since the feminist movement Hollywood has really gone out of their way of depicting women in a very negative light. However, they view this way to be positive because their version of a strong woman is a woman who is convening, nagging, controlling, constantly bickering, a woman with more male traits than female traits and the list goes on. That right there should tell you everything you need to know about Hollywood and the messages they are trying to send.

Here are some Bible verses to give you a more of an understanding of what a Godly feminine woman is over a worldly woman and why this role is imperative:
Genesis 2:18: 18 And the LORD God said, it is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a help meet.
We are designed to be our husband’s helper and not the other way around. Marriage is a calling and a privilege from God. It should not under any circumstance be taken lightly. We should be actively involved in helping our husband in all areas of his life as we were design to do.
Genesis 2:21-23: 21 And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs and closed the flesh instead thereof; 22 And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
23 And Adam said, this is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
This design was not by accident. God doesn't make mistakes the world wants to change the natural order. They want to change it for something they think is better because they no longer must take care of their burden of responsibilities. Men are men with certain roles and responsibilities and women are women with their own roles and set of responsibilities. It's not hard to comprehend.
Deuteronomy 6:7: 7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.
Being a Christian isn't just a status symbol and not something you can pick and choose from when you please. A Godly feminine woman is a Christian in name and deed.
Proverbs 31:11: 11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
Her husband knows her to be trustworthy not just by her words but also by her actions.
Proverbs 31:17: 17 She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks.
While men are certainly stronger than woman, however, God has given her strength to carry out the role, he intended for her. When feeling weak ask God for strength and guidance. A feminine woman isn't weak, but she knows her limitations and works on things she knows she can excel at in her life.
Proverbs 31:26: 26 She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
When she speaks her words display God’s wisdom and kindness is on her tongue.
Ephesians 5:22-24: 22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
Women were made to complete men do not compete with them. Wives are called to submit to their husbands as they would to the Lord. For husbands are the head of the home and Christ is the head of the church. The church is supposed to submit to Christ and wives are supposed to submit to their husbands in everything.
Titus 2:4-5: 4 Then they can urge the younger women to love their husbands and children, 5 to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God.
Mothers teach your daughters to love their husbands, take care of them and the children, and teach your daughters to submit to their husbands and to be kind. Her work is home based, and a vital part of the family structure designed by God.
1st Peter 3:3-4: 3 Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. 4 Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.
Your beauty should be focused on material things but rather the feminine and gentle spirit that God has given you.
There are plenty of more bible verses that go in depth about a woman's God given role and femininity, but I just wanted to give you some examples as to what it means to be a feminine Godly woman. Stay feminine, beautiful, and graceful! More importantly seek God and he will direct your path.
