Embracing our design as women

_Beauty like Esther. 

"Before a young woman's turn came to go into King Xerxes, she had to complete 12 months of beauty treatments prescribed for the women, 6 months with oil of myrrh and 6 with perfumes and cosmetics". 

This category will be focusing on beauty products and tips. While other categories like faith, friendship, love, health, parenting, family, and daughter carry more weight I also loved reading that Esther was a woman of beauty. 

God designed her this way. God designs all women with beauty because they are made in his image. Women have special characteristics that God did not give to men. 

This category is meant to embrace our female side. Not in a women's rights sort of way, but in the way we have been designed. I believe we wouldn't have to focus so much on women's rights if we knew deep down that the Creator designed us to be different. We were not designed to be equal. And that is OK. Instead of fighting against it, let's embrace it!

Certainly my ideas are not inferior to my husbands' but I am also secure knowing that he loves me and would not do anything to our family that would knowingly negatively impact our wellbeing. We are a team. With God. 

So instead of running, I am embracing the beauty. I want to be the wife my husband desires - inside and out. Beauty is not skin deep but it is also great to embrace what makes us women!
