One measure of the strength of a man is his openness to the strength of a woman. The men who listen to and respect the women in their life?

We say, "Well, that's just my entertainment." No! No, it's an important part of who you are. So important you won't let Jesus touch it. http://truewoman.com/?id=1725 2011-06-17T10:16:47-05:00 I don’t hear a lot of “Excellent job with that diaper changing technique, mom,” or “I love the way you scraped the dried milk out of my sippy cups,” or “I really liked your voice inflection the fifth time you read The Very Hungry Caterpillar to me today.” http://truewoman.com/?id=1726 2011-06-17T10:15:47-05:00 I’ve heard it said that it takes seven compliments to undo a single criticism. If that’s true, we should be complimenting others—a lot. http://truewoman.com/?id=1729 2011-06-17T10:14:18-05:00 This is such an important topic, especially for those of us who have more practice at dishing out correction than affirmation! http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/the-fear-of-losing-your-place-6314 2011-03-30T16:39:27-05:00 Ask yourself, "Will I risk losing something precious or powerful to stand for my belief?" It's time to reaffirm whose you are, and whose you will be long after your current position is a memory. He will honor you if you honor Him.
