SISTERHOOD: YOU HAVE A BEAUTIFUL BODY

"Comparison is a thief of joy!"

This is a great and relatable video when it comes to BODY IMAGE. I am super glad I can share this with you and tell you, that YOU. ARE. BEAUTIFUL.

SISTERHOOD: IN HIS IMAGE AND LIKENESS

To live in a world where certain standards are being thrown at your face as a woman, is hard. And to be quite frank, as woman nothing is ever good enough. You're not skinny enough, you're not tall enough and you're not smart enough. What has happened? Why has outer appearances become such a great requirement to be attractive to the other gender? Why has our way of thinking become so shallow? How can a woman survive in this world who's not got a flawless body and this and that?

SISTERHOOD: "I WILL WAIT FOR YOU"

I've found this ages ago and yet, it always does surprise and inspire me. Poetry is a very fine and beautiful art and it's sad to see that it's not been hyped as much. Girls, listen to this poetry about being a Proverbs31-Woman. Enjoy!

“I WILL WAIT FOR YOU” BY JANETTE IKZ

So it seemed that it was cool, for everyone to be in a relationship but me.

So I took matters into my own hands, and ended up with him.

Him who displayed the characteristics of a cheater, a liar, an abuser, & a thief.

So why was I surprised when he broke into my heart?

I called 911, but I was cardiac arrested for aiding and abetting,

Cause it was me who let him in…

Claiming we were “just friends”.

It was already decided for me by the first date, that even if he wasn’t!

I was gonna make him ‘The One’

SISTERHOOD: 4 SIGNS OF A WOMAN WORTH FOLLOWING

Girls, whether you like it or not, in our environment we do play a certain role that comes with responsibilities. We might be the eldest girl in the family, we might have this certain 'Ate' role in the community or we simply have to be a good role model for the people we interact in our daily lives. Of course, a lot of pressure comes with that responsibility since we're just human and we can't always do the right thing. We make mistakes, we don't have the right attitude towards certain things and situations or we just simply don't feel strong enough to go towards the path of being a role model. However, we need each other more than we sometimes want to admit. It doesn't always have to be an hierarchical situation where you assume that the older girls need to take care of you. Some wise bird told me that a relationship shouldn't be based on 'give and take' but therefore, even better, should head into the direction of 'give and give back'. It even sounds a lot more optimistic! Whenever we reflect on what kind of woman we want to be, we tend to think of independence, strength and intelligence. I don't argue against that, but I guess before us girls should focus on those traits, the followings are a lot more important:

WAITING: PLEASE HOLD THE LINE

How many of you get easily annoyed when waiting for the train or bus to come? How many roll their eyes in their cars when the pedestrians take the longest time to walk across the road? How many of you just can't stand queues? We probably spend most of our days here on Earth waiting. However, whatever we do, whatever life throws at us, there's always a purpose behind it. 

You'd say waiting is just a waste of time because life is too short or maybe you'd say there must be something romantic about waiting. Either way, the movies and stories in books could have never expressed the actual state you are in as much as actually being in that state yourself. Sometimes it's bearable but sometimes it's also painful, which always leads me to thinking that the painfuller a situation, the best moments can spring out of it - when you believe. So whatever you're waiting for, I hope this will give you a better idea and understanding about the reasons why.

I was reading an article the other day that reminded me and showed me how to cope in times of waiting.

NEW YEAR, NEW PROJECT: SISTERHOOD

The Lord blessed me with a task last weekend that I was very excited about. I was able to do an activity and give a sharing during the Sisterhood-Workshop. I was so happy that I got asked to do this since I've been wanting to do something like this for my sisters in a very long time. Since I have been trying to nourish myself with great quotes, articles and blogs about being a true woman of God and a great sister to everyone, I realised that it does not help me if I don't share it with everyone. 

So, I have decided to make this a project on my blog, so that all my readers can profit from things that I read about, just to give them something to reflect on, give them a guide and maybe also something that might challenge them. 

I have learned a lot during this weekend and I am beyond excited what the man up there has in store for us ladies. I hope the booklets that were handed out to you may always be at the back of your head because the things in there are so very important! My first entry will just be a short reminder of what we have learned during the past weekend.

SISTERHOOD: PROTECTING OUR HEARTS

You guys may have noticed that I am an avid blog reader and sometimes when the mood feels right, I research different topics. This time I have come across this topic which doesn't seem to be important for single ladies out there but in one point of your life, it will. Love doesn't start when you and a guy are officially together, no, love starts way before and that's why in order not to be crushed when something that seems like a fairy tale finds its end, you have to be prepared with the right words and the right attitude. Ladies, just give it a shot and read this great article with short tipps, I found.

BROTHER/SISTERHOOD WEEKEND 17.03.-18.03.

As you can see, I am quite an active member in my community and it has grown into a very important part in my life. It is not only a little get away whenever things add up but it also a place where I can hang out with my friends as well as learning more about Jesus. Last weekend's activity was a purely great one. All the girls got to have quality time together as well as learning so much more about the roles of a woman and the way to live as a catholic woman. It was very educative and emotional but it was a lot of fun as well. 

This activity gave us a chance to act like sisters towards another, since we are God's children and it also gave us the opportunity to grow with one another, to open up to one another and of course learn from one another. It just feels good when you know that you can always turn to someone because at the end of the day, we do fight the same battles. I am proud of all the sisters and I am so glad, that I could share this lovely event with them.
