The last day of women's history month is upon us, and there's a lot more I wanted to say about what being a woman means. Alas, I got caught up with my daily commitments. I know it can be hard to find time to remind ourselves of how far we've come. Yet, once a woman embraces her feminity and understands it thoroughly, she can start living her life to the fullest.
I spent the past few weeks thinking about the power and beauty of women, and I realized that for me, what makes a woman a woman is her ability to create, nurture, and love. These are her superpowers, which God gave her when she was created as the crowning achievement of His work. She holds the power to create new life, nurture that child into an adult, and enrich the world around them with her love.
But too often, we see this power being twisted in media stories and in our daily lives. For example, we're told that being feminine means being weak or passive, but it is one of the most powerful things you can be. It's a gift from God, an incredible responsibility He gave us because He knew we could handle it.
Feminity is not weakness. It is not something that makes women less. On the contrary, a superpower allows us to create, nurture, and love in ways the world has never seen before. It is what keeps our families together and our homes safe from harm.
When a woman finally understands her own feminity without preconceived notions from society telling her what she should be or how she should act, she can indeed start living her life unapologetically to its fullest extent.
