Dignity ~ (n) 1. the presence of poise and self-respect to a degree that inspires respect 2. inherent nobility and worth
A (woman) of noble character who can find?... She is clothed with strength and dignity....For (God) created (her) inmost being; (He) knit (her) together in (her) mother's womb...(she is) fearfully and wonderfully made; (God's) works are wonderful... (Proverbs 31: 10, 25, Psalm 139:13-14)
I choose to place my value in Who made me and Whose I am, not in the cacophony of cultural noise that deliberately attempts to snare me with its lies and deceptions. I choose to be a woman of dignity, not one whose only value lies in her compliance with the latest media-powered vision of a woman of worth.

this has been my greatest struggle and most difficult lesson in these last five years of infertility. there's something about a closed womb that screams "less than" to the feminine soul. i hate it and i "know" it's a lie, but sometimes i just feel dry and my arms are heavy with a deep aching for my children...
i love how beth moore shouts a louder Truth straight into my heart and how she points me to Jesus, who never lets me linger in that "less than" place when He reminds me, repeatedly, that i am His... He is sufficient... His ways are not mine... He has given me a Hope and a future...
thanks for the reminder. i needed it more than i realized today...
