Womanly

I've taken on this challenge of defining what it means to be #Womanly every Wednesday on Twitter, and I find myself in this perplexed movement of diverse opinions.

When a man "Mans up" it is seen as a positive step in the right direction.  When a woman, "Womans-up" we often question her motives, her desires, her confidence, and to be honest - even her sexuality. This all varies depending on the woman you are, the beliefs you have, and the religion you practice.  The ways that you can "woman-up" in your journey appear in the moments where your heart says. "Yes" and your head says, "Nuh-uh!"

The easiest way to talk about this is to directly pertain it to my journey.  The disclaimer is that I walk with Jesus, so much of my "woman-ing up" pertains to obeying scripture and choosing Christ.  If you'll read it, I'd love the challenge of learning more from both perspectives.

However, it is late and I should be getting rest. Let me know your thoughts (men and women!) as I document mine.  

Side Note

*These kinds of debates make me pray especially for wise male friends who separate themselves from society and focus on truth. So much of a woman's perception is skewed because of the opinions of those men who surround her.
