Blonde am I...

" Where am I? "



So I have an embarrassing story to tell..

It was an average wednesday afternoon and I had just finished work.
I was a bit frazzled as I had alot on my mind, but I needed to get petrol.
So I rolled up to my local stomping ground on Tarewa and put some 91 down Tommy Tomatoes throat.
I went to pay and when I returned to my car, I pulled the handle and DOH! Locked, and look, keys in the ignition! It was at that moment I realised I had one choice, and one choice only: Pull the 'I'M JUST A GIRL' card out!
In minuted I had 3 Caltex guys buzzing around my car trying to open it.
Man number one tried to hack the door open with a screwdriver, with my consent, but much to my horror he practically broke my door.
Man number two walked around my car with a distant look on his face pulling at every handle (um, helloooo, I tried that already!)
Man number three was a burly fellow...actually reminding me of Big Foot. He had big hair stomped around quite heavy and had some major ink going on. He stared alot at the situation and made low grunting noises and waved a piece of plastic around.
Eventually, man number one pulled the rubber casing from around my window and managed to squeeze his hand down and flick the lock open...YAY!
So that was my embarrassing story...as I drove away I wave at the 3 and blushed as I saw them still snickering about my blondeness.
I have no spiritual paralel to add to this story...I am just thankful for men.

MICHAEL PHELPS is my hero

Daughters of Eve

I was reading Genesis and found something that interested me...

It was while reading about the curses that were laid out after Adam and Eve ate the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

It's what God said to Eve: Genesis 3 vs 16 onwards (NKJV)

To the woman He said:

"I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception;

In pain you shall bring forth children.

Your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you."

OK, so I get the childbirth pain being a curse..but "Your desire shall be for your husband." ?!?

How is this a bad thing?

I thought about this for a while, and I got to thinking as a woman, how important and crucial it is to have the approval of a male figure in my life. Not only me but women all over the world. We strive to please. To look good. It's like a deep seeded thing. I haven't met a woman yet who doesn't suffer from it! WE LONG to be DESIRED! To be known as beautiful. To know that we are pleasing.

It is a burden, because we all fall short. It's never good enough. We fear failure. That someone, some other woman might take our place. That we might not be adored forever.

So this desire is a deep seeded thing, maybe placed there at the begining of time ( thanks to our sponsors, Adam and Eve!) This is why we need to be close to God, our Father. Our friend and Lover of our soul. If our affections are first and foremost on God and our relationship always growing stronger, we overcome.

It's not easy being a daughter of Eve, is it?! :)
