Warning, rant ahead: So, I think I finally figured out why I dislike Womens Ministry. Ive come to realize that every retreat, fellowship, ladies night... etc... has actually been a self-help or self-esteem workshop thinly-veiled as ministry. The message, the carefully chosen scriptures , the prayers have all been designed to tell me that God loves and treasures, and can work through me EVEN THOUGH I am a woman. I had never considered that because I was born female, that God loved me differently or less than anybody else. I had never considered that my capacity for serving God would be somehow impeded because I was born with lady parts. I dont need the constant reminders to be prepared for Jesus, as his Bride. I need to know how to be more like Him. How to be a disciple of Jesus and make disciples. Not the watered-down mentor that the church loves to substitute when women are involved. I have nothing against women only events. And I have nothing against tea and chocolate, but it really doesnt need to be a part of every womens event. (coffee is a different story- that is a definite must) Lets just drop the posture of less than or even though. Its demeaning and antiquated, and we dont need it. The other thing we dont need? Lavender scented everything - seriously, stop it.
