It is now time to raise the standard. As women (both unwed and married), we have tolerated mistreatment and abuse for too long. Now before you shut me out, please read the full content. I am neither a feminist nor a man-hater. I am one who is seeking the truth about myself as a woman according to God's standards. That is the standard that I want to raise...not my own standard.

I am a woman who has come through sexual abuse, emotional abuse and self-abuse. All of these experiences have taught me one thing...my standard was too low. I did not expect to be treated with dignity and respect. I did not expect for someone to value you me outside of my body parts. I did not expect for anyone to handle me delicately as though I was a precious jewel. I did not expect for people to appreciate my innocence without attempting to manipulate and control me. I simply did not know that my standard was too low.

Today, God is teaching me a great deal about who I am as His daughter. In the coming days, I will be sharing more about raising God's standard for our lives as women.

Blessings,
Mary

I am with you on that!


... thanks for sharing!
May God continue to richly bless and deliver you through everything that enemy has laid up and may He give you mighty victories, peace and abundance. I agree that the standard must be raised in our homes, in our churches, and in our own minds and spirits. But we must first know who we really are straight from the garden. Visit my page, I have finally started blogging and have much more to share.

God gave me a garden word as an answer to my own life, a life mangled, ravaged and demoted by the church. Yet there is so much misunderstanding in teaching, so many things promoted that have absolutely no right basis in the garden word. I must say that I am tired but I am still pushing. My book publication is entitled, "The Real Skinny on Eve" and subtitled, "A Short but Comprehensive Guide on the Real Identity of Sisters in the Church of Jesus Christ."

Everytime I read it, I am reminded of the victory God has given in my life. I have already been writing in a few places on this site, but it is amazing to me how much we miss due to issues of pride. I will say this, 3:13 was a confession even honored by God in 3:9 and 3:20, and unless God is now a liar or a fool, the female, unlike an un-confessed Adam, emerged from the garden in righteous standing in both name and title, even before God. Punishment for the female in 3:16, not at all as we have been taught. And what about the name game of Adam in 2:23? Let's roll up our sleeves here and talk about it. Can we?
