I Am Who I Am

Hi there, Diamond Glamour Girls;

You know I love the idea of speaking out for woman, woman's issues and most of all the right to be a "Christian" woman without the stereotype that we have to be so humble we become the doormat for anyone and everyone. Christianity, goes back further than the United States and womanhood begins before Eden. God knew what He was doing so, who am I to question Him. He made me woman and he clothe me.

I am who I am (Ex 3:14) and I humbly say I love clothing. Thank God it is more than a leaf. (Gen. 3:21) I was on facebook yesterday when I came across a post.  It is a new company that brings "personal stylist" to your fingertips. Now you can go shopping with a "personal stylist".  Men unclothe us we go shopping.! Cost them money. I am all for that! If they had righteous thoughts towards us then they would be. The last thing I would want to see is my preacher, teacher, speaker, etc. without cloths.

You've heard the old saying they tell speakers. It is to look out into the audience and imagine them naked. The funny thing is for some of speakers that is a terrify thought more than getting up in front of  people and speakers. The thought of naked people starting back at me all shapes, all sizes, all colors, with all different types of agendas. Wow, I would rather go shopping!  (You are suppose to be laughing at this point.)

A Professional Shopper aka Personal Shoppers defined in the dictionary as:
an individual who is paid to help another to purchase goods, either by accompanying them while shopping or by shopping on their behalf.

Before you ask me. The name of the company I am talking about is "Stitch Fix'. I can't recommend them, I can't not recommend them. My friend shops this way. She enjoys purchasing her cloths this way. Basically, what the company offers is a personal shopper who goes out and purchases cloths for you. They ask you a series of questions about your shopping habits. Then they send you shipment of clothes they shop for you. You decide how often the shipments arrive. Every other week, monthly or every two months. The clothing is an average of $65.00. What I discovered for myself from looking at their website is I enjoy shopping. It is fun and away for me to express my personal style. If you take out the relationship part of a personal shopper than what is the point? You judge for yourself what you like. Having a personal shopper in my time meant a person who would get to know you, your body type, your style and then find things you would look good in. It is part of wedding and event shopping for our clients. We get to personally know them and shop for their event. The online method felt rather cold to me. That's my thoughts. Let me know what's yours what your thoughts are.

KISS is it (Keep it Simple Sweetie)?

Hi there, Diamond Glamour Girls,

When I was a teenager I was one of those girls....  No, not those girls.... those girls. The girl that the boy wanted. You know they want. They have needs. The girl that they wanted because of my and forgive me for speaking so bluntly, back then there wasn't any way of knowing I was naive, innocent. The stereotype. I was grouped with Maria on "West Side Story" or Maria on a Musical. How many times was Natalie Wood questioned about being a Maria?  Did they want her to be like the person she portrayed?

What happens when someone doesn't fall into the "stereotype"? I was watching the Bachelorette last night thinking about the silliest of things, something her sister and her were talking about. Kiss! A kiss between a man and a woman made public on national TV versus a real kiss between a man and a woman.

The definition of KISS:   (First Three Definitions)

Bible:

1. Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss. 1Thess.5:26
2. Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine. Song of Solomon 1:2
3. Greet one another with an holy kiss. 

 Merriam ^{Webster defined:}
    kiss
      1: to touch with the lips especially as a mark of affection or greeting <kissed his wife good-bye>
      2:  to touch gently or lightly <wind gently kissing the trees>

Urban Dictionary defined: (Today's Youth)

kiss
   1. The sweetest thing a guy can do without bein an ass.
   2. May I kiss you instead of grabbing your ass?
       an upper persuasion for lower INVASION
       kkkkkkk iiiiiii ssssss
   3. the meeting of two pairs of lips
       He looked into my eyes, and we kissed

If the third definition is the truth, where did the second definition go? There are many definitions describing a kiss in the bible. However, I can't help myself thinking about the bachelorette. How naive is this woman that she would think that the standards are equal for men and woman? Even the military is looking into this. 

Even in the most modern world, a woman is still physically not as strong as a man. Woman are made differently. The anatomy of a woman is different. This is not a statement saying they are not strong. Woman are physically strong, they also have gifts men don't have. Men have gifts woman don't have. That is what makes a couple balanced if chosen correctly. Even the military is looking into this. The military is looking at ways to modify its training for women to help them qualify for direct ground combat roles in the infantry, tank units and special operations.

Now, back to the kiss. Why would a woman want to kiss so many men. Part of her power is in her ability to have self control. "gentleness and self control. Against such there is no law." Gal 5:23. Let me ask you this question...after kissing so many men will she be looked at as
beautiful
  honest
    a wife that is worthy of his respect
        a woman with power
           love
             trustworthy
               a woman he would want to have children with
                  the love of his life
                    worthy of putting a wedding ring...
                        the list goes on.....

Have these things changed in her from his view point. From the urban dictionary they change in the heart of our teens, children they are the ones writing the definitions. This is troublesome for parents today. How can you help a young adult that no longer looks at a kiss as what it should be?
