to guide, teach and lead me into the way of righteousness.
i admit the narrow way seems slumber at times
and almost all the time i lose my way
but these women keep me level headed
and make sure i'm going the right way.
today i acknowledge my mentor and my mom.
two strong pillars in my life.
women who have experienced life.
listening to what they have to say,
i mainly sit there soaking in every morsel of their words.
it's life experiences, that can't be read in books!
they remind me that i'm still young.
i don't have to grow up so fast
and that i can take life a bit slower.
which brings me back to cutting myself off from my childhood.
having to grow up pre-maturely took in many scenarios in my life.
it made me a mom, a wife, a sister all at the age of my teens.
i've developed some mechanisms that i still carry around today
the mechanisms that sustained me through those rough times.
but today i acknowledge that i am no longer a child
and as much as i sulk and whine like one.
i must get a hold of myself, stand firm and be strong.
that's what these women in my life teach me.
when it comes to love, it hurts.
but through that, you become stronger.
and to become stronger you must become your own person.
today, i have grown just a little bit,
from child's play to being a grown mature adult.
we'll see how i turn out throughout the years.
-Live Productively
Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior,
not malicious gossips nor enslaved to much wine,
teaching what is good,
so that they may encourage the young women
to love their husbands, to love their children, to be sensible,
pure, workers at home, kind, being subject
to their own husbands, so that the word of god will not be dishonored.
Titus 2:3-5
