Femininity

Here is one more blog post I want to preserve from my old site.

I arrived in Georgia to stay with my in loves to find that I had two new veils arrive from Liturgical Time. I love them. I got a black infinity veil made from imported French lace, and I got a vanilla bean colored version of the ink blue infinity veil that I wear. I wore the vanilla bean to church today with a Swarovski crystal heart necklace and I loved it. When I came home I got a picture by my jewelry box.

My veils make me so happy. I believe in headcovering in general. I’m protected by God and my husband and the veils (or my glittering or satin headbands when I choose to cover that way) remind me of that. And I adore the femininity of it. I love being feminine. I love wearing dresses every day, wearing glittering jewelry, bright makeup, and having long hair. I wanted long hair when I was a kid, and now I finally have it!

It feels so good to be a woman and embrace my happy, feminine side. Femininity is spiritual, beautiful, ethereal, almost haunting – and yet so vibrant at the same time.

For the past century women have been so focused on being “equal” to men. But being of equal value doesn’t make us identical in substance. We are wonderfully made, and designed differently than men. I’m not saying there’s a formula or anything. Some women are more tomboyish. Some men are not handy. God designs each of us with a similar structure, but we are all different like snowflakes. He would not put less creativity into us than He would frozen rain. But as a group, we are very different from men and should embrace it. We should contrast with them. My husband and I have a ton in common, but we really contrast too and I love it. It is one of the many things that makes us work. Our bodies contrast. Our spirits have different shapes.
