Something's wrong. The modern woman is on major overload. She struggles to find time in her day to swap hats among the numerous ones she wears: Wife, Caregiver, Employee, Mother, Taxi Driver, Volunteer, Teacher, Neighbour, Chef, Counselor, Friend. And she fights to catch her breath between all her duties, she is bombarded with conflicting messages every time she turns on the TV, fixes dinner, runs on her treadmill, or sits down to a meeting at work. These messages attempt to define where she fits in the world, as well as her relationships, her spirituality, and her identity as a woman. She struggles to feel beautiful when she's probably not the superfit woman the media portrays as ideal.
Intimacy eludes her, and the feeling of being unprotected overwhelms her in a generation ravaged by the breakdown of family. She wrestles with loneliness in an age that has lost the art of mentoring. She is confused in trying to figure out what it means to be truly feminine amidst the feminist messages screaming all around her. Purity of both body and mind is a battle for the married as well as the unmarried, and the younger as well as the older woman-when sex sells and the world treats it so casually. She finds physical, emotional and spiritual boundaries rare or nonexistent. Purpose is difficult to discover in a time that glorifies worldly success and downplays faithfulness to family, friends and God. And freedom is tough to find even for the woman who has fought to overcome past hurts and baggage. It's no wonder she struggles!
You want to be your best, give and get the most from life...but just what does that mean? And how do you accomplish those things?...Stay tuned.
