Fight Like a Girl: The Power of Being a Woman

Today's twisted pictures of gender roles create confusion over how a woman should define herself. Women and men are encouraged to move closer to center and away from the traits that distinguish male from female. How can women feel good about themselves when society is constantly dictating what they can and should be? In FIGHT LIKE A GIRL, Lisa Bevere exhorts us to embrace the differences between sexes. Her goal is to encourage women to celebrate the unique aspects of femininity. Instead of trying to adopt ill-fitting character traits, women should see themselves as designed and valued by God and savor their femininity as their strength, not a flaw.

After her Father had returned from fighting in World War II, he began molesting her. She openly discusses this, in interviews, and sermons.

After her divorce, Meyer frequented local bars before meeting Dave Meyer, an engineering draftsman. They celebrated their 40th anniversary in 2007.
One morning in 1976, while driving to work she heard God call her name. Joyce was heading for the biggest change of her life.
She began leading an early-morning Bible class at a local cafeteria and became active in Life Christian Church, a fledging charismatic church in Fenton. Within a few years, Joyce was the church's associate pastor. The church became one of the leading charismatic churches in the area, largely because of her popularity as a Bible teacher. She also began airing a daily 15-minute radio broadcast on a St. Louis radio station.
In 1985, Joyce resigned as associate pastor and founded her own ministry, initially called "Life in the Word." She began airing her radio show on six other stations from Chicago to Kansas City.
In 1993, her husband Dave suggested that they start a television ministry. Initially airing on superstation WGN-TV in Chicago and BET, her program, now called "Enjoying Everyday Life," now reaches a potential audience of 3 billion people around the world.
Her success for the Kingdom of God, has had it's share of criticism.
Joyce is often criticized for living an opulent lifestyle. She claims that she doesn't have to defend her spending habits because "there's no need for us to apologize for being blessed."
I have read the negative comments, My Brother James David Manning accused her of being whoreish, when she made a comment about her clothes. I say to him, read, Matthew 7:2-5
I have a great respect for Joyce Meyer. She's got attitude and guts. Stands firmly in her beliefs. She lives what she preaches. She shares her knowledge and love for God, with thousands who are trying to cope each day.
I have grown from her.
Yet my walk is not without stumbling. I am blessed that I have wonderful mentors to lean on. My Uncle Bob, who is the Pastor of our church is a great inspiration.

Battlefield of the Mind Devotional

My Dad worked at a local factory. Never missed a day of work. Money was extremely tight. Yet he was old school, and believed mom should stay home. Tend to the house and kids. Myself and four annoying brothers, (just kidding).
Our household revolved around Dad's love for the Chicago Cubs, and his latest venture. Collecting coins, stamps, or playing football pools, and the lottery. Dreams of becoming rich never happened.
Friday nights were spent with visits from my granny. The beer of choice was Schlitz. The adults would play pinoche, or penny ante poker. Other times we would sing while mom captured it on her old reel to reel tape recorder.
Sunday mornings were not spent in church, followed by a grand meal. Dad was usually watching wrestling. We were playing, and Mom was in the kitchen.
I must have been about twelve. Outside, getting ready to find the next adventure. I seen a girl with the longest hair walking by the house. Not knowing a stranger, I walked over to her. I proceeded to ask her who she was. Candy was her name, she lived on the next block. From that moment we were inseparable.
It was through this friendship, I discovered Jesus.
You see, I practically lived at Candy's house. If I stayed over saturday night, I had to go to church with them sunday. Okay, I thought, I'll give it a whirl. Before I discovered Jesus, I found Jack. Candy's cousin, and three years older than me. His family were members of the church. I thought, there's something to this church thing. So I continued to go.

Notes were passed, and after a few years, kisses were stolen. My make-up was a tad heavy for a young teen. And my clothes, a bit gaudy, perhaps. I stood not even four foot eight inches at the time. Was I over compensating? Needless to say, his parents didn't think I was quite good enough. My first love, my first broken heart.
Then came the chance to go to church camp. I was so excited. The money was raised through the church, to send us. As I said earlier money was very tight. Having none for neccessities, I went to the local dimestore. There I filled my pockets, with make-up, and things I would need for the trip. I never got caught. That is, not until later.
I had never been away from home for a whole week. If I could be gone for a week, I would be safe. I had a secret, that I had hidden for as long as I could remember. No one knew that for years, a close relative had been sexually molesting me. It was only after I was married, that the secret had to be told.
That was one of the best weeks of my life. We had a wonderful, Godly woman as our counsler for our cabin. Mentioning how Mountain Dew made her giddy. We had to see it for ourselves. She acted like she had had a twelve pack of Schlitz.
On our last night, after much laughter, things turned serious. She began to talk of Jesus. How he could take our burdens from us. We just had to invite him into our hearts, believe that he died for us, confess our sins. Even at my young age, the guilt of stealing overwhelmed me. I had been caught. Such a heavy load I had upon my back. To this day, I have never felt more free as I did that night. The night I gave everything to Jesus.
My Dad, Candy are both gone now. Jack was never to be my life partner. My walk with the Lord has been a work in progress to say the least. I am fortunate that I have dear family and friends who keep me from straying too far. Especially my Aunt Pam, thank you.

When we set out to share our opinions, beliefs, we must also be prepared for what will surely follow. It was suggested that I get the word out by using several different sites. Which I did.
Most have been very successful. Along with that success, I have had some very disturbing comments. Which to be very honest, was quite overwhelming at first.
I shared the comments in our forum, here at Squidoo. The other Lensmasters, have been wonderful. Their advice, prayers and support, have been outstanding. I publicly thank all of them.
My thoughts, on Joyce Meyer, are solely my opinion. I feel she has helped many through the years. And, I admire her for that.
If there is the smallest thing in this article, that will help someone who is struggling, then it will be worth it.
Just trying to save another one for Jesus!
