Why, I repeat, why have so many of us women allowed ourselves to fall from that place of honor and esteem?

 

It grieves me to see women hiding in the shadow of their churches, shamed and saddened by secrets that they wish they could conceal from their past.

​

Christian women should be restored to their place of wholeness. Their place of dignity, quality and honor before God so that their testimony may be a true blessing and will draw all women back to the Lord.

​

Unfortunately, many Christian women are still hiding, still carrying heavy baggage’s of hurt, fear, guilt and shame.

​

They go about their daily routine concealing their true royal identity, pretending not to notice their filthy condition.

​

Their light isn’t shining, and no one can see the Queen within them whom their Father created them to be.

​

All signs of their royal inheritance have been covered with the degradation of abuse, mistakes and unfortunate incidents that happened sometime in their lives.

How do you identify yourself? Are you just a boy or girl, or do you see yourself as a Queen or King?

Your gender identity is a deep-seated, internal sense of who you are as a gendered being.

It is the gender with which you identify yourself.

​

The National Geographic(www.nationalgeographic.com) has done research on what’s being called the “gender revolution”.

​

Some people identify themselves as LGBTQ an acronym used to refer to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or queer individuals in our community.

​

Affirming pronouns however or the most respectful and accurate pronouns for a person as defined by that person.

​

It’s best to ask which pronouns a person uses to avoid offenses.

​

Once young children learn to talk, most will declare a gender identity, boy or girl, that aligns with their biological sex.

​

According to research drawn from www.HealthyChildren.org around two years old, children become conscious of the physical differences between boys and girls.

By age four, most children have a stale sense of their gender identity.

​

During this same time of life, children learn gender-role behavior-that is, doing “things that boys do” or “things that girls do” when they choose toys, clothes, activities or friends.

There are many paths to becoming a woman or a man.
