Women are strong warriors. We fight for different things then men do. Women fight for their own hearts and for the hearts of others. Women tend to the hearts and needs of people. We were created to have that desire to care for others. Women are designed to be mothers. Every woman, mother or not, has some mother like tendencies. We all “mother” people at some point in our lives, it just happens.
The other day I was having lunch with some friends and was acting as their mother. I told them, “I feel like I’m acting like your mother.” When they we were leaving, one of my friends turned to me and said, “Good-bye mother!” It was kind of funny.
That’s the kind of person I am. I want to take care of people. I want them to know someone’s thinking about them, even more so during trying times. Times when things are going wrong. Times when they have huge tests or tiny quizzes. Letting your friends know there is someone that believes in them and prays for them other than just their family.
When fighting for yourself or others, you have to fight for them physically, spiritually, and emotionally. They three are connected. When you are tired your emotions are messed up. When you’re physically sick, your emotions are messed up. When you’re emotionally drained, you become physically and
spiritually sick.
It’s easier to fight for someone other than to fight for ourselves. At the same time, it’s also difficult to fight for others because that requires you to bring your heart out in the open for others to accept or reject. When you’re heart gets rejected it’s hard to continue opening yourself up because it hurts, but when you’re accepted, it gives you hope and encourages you to continue opening your heart up to others. Fighting takes courage. You have to be brave enough that you’re not afraid of getting hurt, it will happen at some point.
To fight for someone, you have to encourage and pray for them. Help guide them along in the way they should go. Sometimes the battles we try and fight for others they need to fight for themselves. We need to be like the referee on the sidelines, telling the players that the Coach is right there with the playbook in His hands, trying to show us the way to go. You can’t fight any battles completely on your own. You need God’s strength and guidance, which you gain by reading His “playbook”.
If your relationship is falling apart for silly reasons, fight for it. Don’t let it die. Sometimes relationships are meant to dies, other times they are meant to live – some just need to be fought for so the other person knows that they aren’t in it alone, that the relationship isn’t one sided or a complete bust.
There are battles only men can fight and win. There are others that only women can fight and win. Your strength has to come together with others strength so you can accomplish that which you were created to do. “If we don’t do our job and fight for what we were created to fight for, then who will?” – Stacey
