I grew up in an environment where it was consistently communicated how weak & limited women are & always felt the need to prove myself as a girl stepping into womanhood. I often didn’t see any benefit in being a woman & felt more comfort in acting like one of the guys. When I got filled with the Holy Spirit, I started seeing a different narrative. I saw a God who loved & cherished women, One who chose men & women to express His divine image together. Yet, I had such a hard time experiencing the nurturing & feminine side of God.

As much as I have always sought to be like God & please Him with my life, I never really felt like I could truly reflect Him as a woman. Being shown only the patriarchal side of God, I feel like that is a gift so often denied to women. This gift that a woman who fears the Lord could ever reflect His/Her image. (Some excerpts from my book “Re-Creating Me”) 

Dr. Myles Munroe said, “Where purpose is not known, abuse is inevitable.” With the world reducing women to their sexuality & the church reducing women to their duty, the world is suffering from the devastating effects of seeing women for a small part of who they are & in turn not seeing or worshipping the Creator in His totality.

This collection called “The Essence of Woman” will be a celebration in who God created women to be. While men might have some of these attributes, I am trying to choose attributes that pertain predominantly to women.
