This was my response on facebook to all the annoying "be like" posts, and a handful of tearing down husbands posts. That stuff really drives me crazy, especially when the people posting profess Christ. The fall out from posting it (tho over 8o women I don't know did like it!), brought this poem that I shared on my old blog a long time ago to mind. It was an encouragement to me in what turned out to be a kind of stressful week.
"You see the back of her
Because she faces Jesus.
Because she faces Jesus.
You see her while she walks away
Because she follows Jesus.
You see her on a lonely road
Because few find
The narrow way that leads to life.
You see her, perhaps, half-dead
Because she is in the business
Of dying everyday.
You see her forsaken
Because she has left all
to follow Him.
You see her struggle along the way
Because she takes up her cross.
You see her lost
Because she loses her life
To be found by Life.
You see her in a wilderness
Because that’s where God
Plants vineyards."
