What a Woman Should Be according to God's Word

   When I was trying to figure out how I should act, I did not look to the world, I looked to God.  I wanted to know how God expected me to act, look and dress.  Have I always succeeded?  No, but I do ask for forgiveness and try to do better.  I am still learning and still trying to please my Lord.
   There are many passages in the Bible that give direction on how a woman should behave.  Are they politically correct?  No but that is not my concern.  God expects a woman to be submissive to her husband (Ephesians 5:22-24).  I am a strong woman and this was at first a challenge but I love my Lord and want to please him and not the world.  I do not cower in the corner but I do listen and respect my husband's wishes.
    Should I dress provocatively?  No.  I try to dress for the occasion but never in a way to cause embarrassment to myself or my family (I Timothy 2:9).  I do wear make-up but I wear it modestly to enhance my natural looks.  
   The book of Titus lists the duties of a Christian woman.  A lot of Christian woman agree that we should strive to be Titus 2:5 women.  Titus 2:5 (NKJV) reads "to be discreet, chaste, homemakers, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed".
    Are you striving to be a Titus 2:5 woman?  Do you need prayers?  I am always willing to pray for you and I ask for you to pray for me too.
Holy bible, submissive women, woman's duties, Titus 2:5, Eph. 5
