Super Woman

When you hear the word Super Woman can you associate yourself to it? I'm sure the answer will likely be yes. Over the years the role of a woman has evolved so much and I'm sure most of us would associate the woman in the bible with the normal traditional woman. Today I want to tell you that the evolved woman is the same with the bible. The bible shows us Great women that were the back bones of their husbands, that held their homes together that fought on their own. So whether you are a mom, wife, or all of the above; when you think that your responsibilities are overwhelming you, Pray for the strength of the Super Women in the bible. Esther, Sarah, Elizabeth, Mary, Mary Magdalene and lot more because God designed you to be the shoulder of your home. A mother to your children by guiding them, supporting them, believing in them whilst you love them unconditionally at the same time doing these also for your husband standing only for what is true.

I spent some years driving my wagon of life with God as my spare wheels. It was a period of good memories because where people saw my situation as bad, the results of God were positive. My husband and I would sit and ask ourselves how things were working out and the only answer was God. It got to a point where my main prayer was "God if I don't know how you change things for me, no one will ever know (psalm 139). This worked until the devil started showing me things to make me think it was my doing. The Spirit of God kept warning me that I was talking too much and taking God's glory but I wouldn't listen.

Keep your marriage going

So in the space of two years I have had two children. At this point overwhelmed seems to be an understatement. Between being a mother, student wife (not in any particular order) trust me they are all as demanding. In all this I have struggled to maintain my role as a wife. I watch movies and you see single couples in hot sizzling relationships; two things come to my head at this point. 1. they are actors. 2. They haven't got children. If you have got kids and feel overwhelmed like me, and asking how do I balance this? I can't give you the absolute answer but what I do now is to make sure the kids are in bed by 8.30pm, I try to nap when you can during the day and do things on your own and with your partner. Hook up with friends (don't go wild) a drink, movies, swimming, exercise. Find a balance that suits you. It keeps your mind relaxed and less frustrated.

Plan yourself to achieve what you want. You can't do it all but one day at a time helps. If you are a Christian, don't wait for the opportunity to be alone and have an hour with God. If the opportunity presents itself then fine. If not anytime you are up, pray, when you are cleaning or cooking; praise God. You will find inner peace and God will see you through trials and temptations. Till we meet again. Ore kor.
