Being a Woman - Image of God

My deep desire is to find the truth so I thought I would start right at the beginning of the Bible - Genesis. When God made us women what exactly did He mean? To fully understand woman we need to understand how woman was created. She was created as part of a man (meaning mankind). Before Male & Female existed a human was only known as man (mankind not male gender). Most importantly we can also see that man (mankind) was made in the image of God. Before there was male and female definition, there was image of God definition - this is our most basic identity.

So what is the image of God? Does God look like a manwoman (both male and female)? Of course not, God doesn't have a body He is a spiritual being. Our hearts are the shadow of God's heart, that is the image of God that we bear. So in order to truly understand who we are, we need to understand what is in our heart - the core of our being.

Take some time this week to observe what is in your heart. and as you find things write them down. Record your desires & your dreams, record the things that you find yourself daydreaming about and write down the secret things that you long for. If it's not too personal please share them in the comment box below as we explore this area together.

The Being a Woman book and worksheets are available here.

Saved by grace, a new creation, on purpose for a purpose. I am free with a future and a hope!

I've considered deleting this blog many times but can't seem to let it go for some reason. Perhaps because it contains such an important part of my life and I'm hoping that somehow my 'scribblings' can inspire and help others going through some of the things I've been through. So, I continue to hold onto it for a little longer. Tonight, 31st December 2021, I reflect on not only the year that has passed but the many years before that too. I love to look back and reflect before plotting the way forwards into a new year. So I've pulled out all my journals and as I flip through the pages I am in awe of how far I have come. Only today I found myself chatting with Jordan about the importance of not comparing ourselves with others but without past self, and as I look back I am amazed and how far I have come. I can't help but go back to that day. The day that I hit rock bottom. I had been a Christian for 10 years at that point and yet still found myself on the

Daniel Fast - Odours, Tiredness and Pains

These are some of what can occur during a fast but don't be alarmed, it is only worse case scenario. Many people don't go through all of this so don't worry. This info is merely so that you understand what is happening in your body and that you don't become concerned if some of these symptoms present themselves. Odours, tiredness, dizziness, headaches and other pains - these are some of the things that you will face during your fast. As you continue to fast you body will begin to cleanse itself and eliminate toxins. These toxins will come out of your body wherever they can which will mean that you might sweat more and your sweat will have a stronger smell than usual. You breath will also be stronger than usual and so will you urine smell. You may even get a funny taste in your mouth or feel that your tongue has a thick coat on it. It sounds nasty, but for a while you will face unpleasant odours from your body, so brush well with a natural toothpaste (as you don
