Happy women's day to all of you ladies. I know i'm late. I thought I would write this yesterday, but I did not get the time to do it.
I'm glad we have a day where women are celebrated all over the world because what would be the world without us? I don't know.
I'm going to add my voice to many others and celebrate the woman. Woman you are a treasure to this world, you are a diamond of great value, don't let nobody tell you otherwise.
As women and as mothers we have many roles to play in the lives of those who surround us.
One of the roles which to me is crucial is to speak life in the lives of our loved ones, especially in the lives of our little ones. We need to be careful what we tell our kids or the kids around us.
When I was little, I was very curious I was asking questions all the time. I had something to say or stories to tell most of the time. My grandmothers and aunts always knew that when they came to visit they had to have a story to tell me before I go to bed.
And sometimes when you have a kid like that , that speaks all the time it can be annoying or even embarrassing, so people would often tell me that i talked too much, one of my uncles even gave me a nickname which pretty much meant "chatterbox" (I didn't like him because of that. Lol. But i forgave him, I'm saved, you know. 😊). So as I grew up I thought asking many questions and talking in front of people was a bad thing. I became shy and afraid to speak in public.
To this date I still struggle in that area. When I have to speak in front of a large group of people I begin to shake and sweat .It takes me a lot of prayers before I'm able to speak.
But by the grace of God it is getting better. I allowed the holy spirit to change my mindset and restore what has been lost.
This is why we have to be careful of what we say to our kids and also what other people say to them. I would never allow anybody to tell my kids anything negative, I don't care who you are or what your intentions are, you may think it is just a joke but it isn't funny to me. I can't allow anybody to influence their future in a negative way, not on my watch.
As a mother, my job is to make sure that their gifts and talents are not hindered by other people's negative words, or their own fear. My job is to encourage them to have self-confidence and trust God about their gifts and talent.
John: 2 ,when Jesus and his mother went to a wedding in Cana. In Verse 3, 4 and 5 it says :" When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.”
“Woman, why do you involve me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.”
His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”.
Mary knew who her son was, she knew she gave birth to the son of God and she knew how to help her son reveal the gift that was in him. Even though Jesus said that it wasn't his time, she still told the servants to do what Jesus would tell them. Note that she did not force him to do anything, she paved the way for him so that when he is ready he could perform The first miracle.
Now, what if she didn't say anything? What if she just sat there and said:" You know what Jesus? there is no more wine, I guess the party is over, it was a nice wedding, now let's go home". Maybe Jesus wouldn't have performed the first miracle, and some of the disciples may not have believed in him because it is said that in verse 11 that after that, his disciples believed in him( you know some of us need miracles to trust him.lol).
Usually women have discernment, some may call it "Feminine instincts", we have the capability of knowing what our kids are made of. It is a God-given ability, so we have to encourage our kids (or the kids we take care of) and guide them in their gifts and talents, not limit them and tell them what they cannot do or are doing wrong.
We have to pray and ask God how to do it and as Mary we will be able to speak to their inner miracle performer and watch the glory of God be manifested.
