Character Contemplations

Have I mentioned how much I love the FCI options? It's quite the dilemma to choose. It's like picking between chocolate and ice cream...both deliciously yummy. Well, I decided on the ultimate girly option (hoping to counter workplace pressures to become "more" that female). Now, mind you, week one was a fascinating time of observation. Following brief introduction, several women noted this was their second, third, or perhaps more repetitive times for taking the class.
Puzzlement was surely plastered on my face at this fact. Why are all these women taking the same class again and again? I brushed it off thinking they must not have done the homework (and there is some serious homework to be done) and clearly were deliquent in their duties to absorb it all the first time around.
Now it's been three weeks...I will atest that I may very well end up in the take it once, twice, and three times group...easily. Ummmm...I may have discovered an area that I never knew I was ignorant to...or at least the extent of ignorance compounded by complete ineptitude in the area of womanly qualities.
But, do not fear eager reader...God is forevermore the unchangeable, fortitude that can mold us clay blobs into something, well, anything other than presumptive clay blobs. So... take heart!
I just thought...other clay blobs like myself may be interested in considering some concepts put forth...Therefore consider this a teaser/promotional for Women of Character. (Did I mention it is fabulously convicting and encouraging all in one?)

"If my goal is God's glory, I will glory in His design."

"Submission is the fruit of character."

"My security is in Christ, not me; therefore, I don't have to be afraid to face sin."

"My job is to help you handle the sin in your life, not pretend it's not there."

"Do I only love people who do lovely things?"

"When we live with a focus on self, we are settling for less...way less."

"Humility is not thinking highly or badly about self. It is simply thinking less of self."

"My needs are met by God...so how can I help you?"
