I facilitated my first 5 Aspects Bible study last night. The girls and conversations we had were so enjoyable. I asked some seemingly easy questions to the girls and it was interesting to hear the responses. These "easy" questions were not actually easy. So, here I'm asking you the same and hoping for a response...
What words come to mind when you hear feminine?
Masculine?
What do you think of women as a whole?
What do you think of men as a whole?
When you really think about these questions it's amazing what comes to mind. It's easy to see how sin has destroyed our view of how God intended these to be. It's frustrating to see how Satan uses them against God's children. I'm so looking forward to continuing through the study and am praying that God radically changes these girls' perceptions of themselves, men and other women as it did for me. Would you pray that with me?

It's late so this will be short. I'm writing before I read the entries from your Bible study friends.
feminine: gentleness, elegant
masculine: muscular, confidence, protector
women as a whole: many put on a front of having life under control
men as a whole: many are oblivious to women's desires as wives
Continue with the posts. This will be interesting.
