~Biblical Femininity Part 1- Created~

A friend of mine was going to do a study on masculinity and the biblical view of it. He asked if I would do one on femininity. And finally finding some time to do I shall do it today! :)

So dictionary.com define feminine as:

• pertaining to a woman or girl: feminine beauty; femininedress. 
• having qualities traditionally ascribed to women, as sensitivityor gentleness 
• effeminate; womanish: a man with a feminine walk. 
• belonging to the female sex; female: feminine staffmembers.
But it seems that in our culture that the woman are suppose to be tough, leaders and "man eater's". They are encouraged to not let men "walk all over them" so they don't.

Another characteristic of femininity is beauty. Beauty according to the world is barbie. Super skinny, covered in make up, tight clothes, oh and showing off skin that should be covered is a bonus! 

But that is way far fetched from the way the bible says a woman should be. Right from the start woman were different from men. Down to the very way they were created!

Genesis 2:18, 21-24 The LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” 

So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and then closed up the place with flesh.  Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib He had taken out of the man, and He brought her to the man.

 The man said,
   “This is now bone of my bones
   and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called ‘woman,’
   for she was taken out of man.”
 That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.

Woman was created from man. Where as man God created from dust. Woman were created to be man's help meet not his hindrance. 


I will continue on this subject in a later post. Comments? Questions? I kinda jumped around there. Hope it made sense~

Another Praise!

My dad has been on the waiting list for a kidney/pancreas transplant since September, I think. He has had type 1 diabetes for 38 years of his life and it has worn down his kidneys so much that only 16% of them was working properly. Well on Tuesday this week he got a call saying that they might have a kidney/pancreas for him. Mom and him left at ten Tuesday evening. And than on Wednesday at nine in the morning they started surgery. It was thirteen hours long. But since than mom said that he was doing great! The kidney and pancreas started working right away! If everything goes well he will only be in the hospital for ten days. And after having diabetes for thirty eight years of his life, he is healed! Praise God! :D 

We are all really excited to see him again! My older brother Kyle asked him if he wanted a donut and dad said "well I've lived for thirty eight years without them and they still don't look that appetizing." Lol :)

I would like you guy's to continue to pray for my family and I. For a speedy recovery for dad and for I and my siblings who are at home. And for my older sister Keisha who is finding it kinda stressful driving everywhere to get the kids where they need to go and shopping for seven kids. 

Thank you for all your prayers! They are greatly appreciated! :)

Psalm 100

Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the lands!
Serve the Lord with gladness!
Come into his presence with singing!
Know that the Lord is God!
It is he that made us, and we are his;
we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
and his courts with praise!
Give thanks to him, bless his name!
For the Lord is good;
his steadfast love endures for ever,
and his faithfulness to all generations.

In His Name,

Karis :)

Praise Him! :)

When I wrote my last post for this blog I was kinda worried. If God wants me to be a summer missionary, than I will probably need some money to get me there. But I didn't need to worry at all! God had and has plans for me! :) 

I got a job working as a cashier at Grocery Outlet. As soon as I stopped worrying and just gave it to God, I got a call saying I got the job. Yesterday was my first day on the job and I really enjoyed it! I feel so blessed and in absolute truth, I am!! 

I want to share this Psalm of praise with you guys :)

Psalm 100

 Make a joyful shout to the LORD, all you lands!
 Serve the LORD with gladness;
         Come before His presence with singing.
 Know that the LORD, He is God;
         It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;
         We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
       
 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
         And into His courts with praise.
         Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.
 For the LORD is good;
         His mercy is everlasting,
         And His truth endures to all generations.

Thank you for praying for me! :)

God is good!
