Things I Don't Want to Hear...

...but obviously need to...

Many times women who claim to be submissive are only outwardly going through the motions of submission while inwardly they are still resenting their position in life. A prayer of submission would be in order: "Father, help me to be content in the role you created me for and give me a submissive spirit, not only toward my mate, but also toward each member in the body of Christ. Let me serve and not expect to be served. Create within me a lamb-like spirit even as Christ our Lord had. Amen." Of course, as we have mentioned, there are limits to submission as it should always be "as unto the Lord." We must first submit to God and then the problems involving submission to others will be resolved by Him. Some results that can occur when women are not in a right relationship with men are divorce, rebellious children, emotional problems and sexual frigidity.

Mutual submission in love, huh? No, I know I've been wrong. I've been acting out of obligation and not love for as long as I can remember. I'm just admitting to that fact and trying to do the right thing.

I suppose we have to talk about this...I'm just so tired of talking.

Anyone have a little cheese to go with my whine? :P

Very true... I'm just having a hard submitting to the fact that I have to be submissive in the first place. :P I'm pretty headstrong and don't like being told what to do. (Does anyone, really?)

What I feel like is throwing a hissy fit and yelling, "Don't Wanna!" Isn't that awful? I guess, in a way, I have been for a long time.
