Too often we women feel showing more skin than covering ourselves is ideal...and what we think shows strength is actually, weakness. I recall mocking feminine grace and loveliness and exchanging it for working out hard and doing things that were more masculine than feminine.
Christ has such a way of transforming us. I'm not saying everyone woman who drives a motorcycle or rock climbs or caves is the way I was, but rather than cultivate feminine ways (which I had no clue about at the time), I hung out with the guys or women who were like me.
It is truly liberating to not compete with men or engage in activities which are dangerous that I really do not like, at least not anymore (if I ever really loved those things it's hard to say so many years later, but I have serious doubts).
Just as submitting to a husband appears weak to the unsaved or rebellious, it offers a liberating freedom and strength of reliance upon God that otherwise goes unknown.
