A deep dive into what it means to embrace being feminine.

Welcome back to another enriching session of the Sisterhood. Today, we explore a topic that often gets misunderstood: femininity and softness.

Redefining Femininity

When we think about being feminine, it can sometimes feel belittling or contrary to our strength as women. However, embracing femininity is about celebrating the traits that make us unique. In Titus 2:3-5, we are reminded how older women can guide younger ones, encouraging behaviors that reflect our values and strengthen our bonds.

"Likewise, teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children..."
— Titus 2:4-5

Embracing Softness

Softness and gentleness should not be seen as weaknesses. Instead, they are characteristics that enrich our lives and relationships. The quiet strength of being tender and empathetic can create a nurturing environment where we can thrive together.

As we navigate womanhood, let’s not box ourselves in. Instead, let’s display the beautiful traits of gentleness, empathy, and strength. These are the qualities that embody who we are as women.

What are your thoughts on being feminine and soft? I invite you to share your reflections.

Have a wonderful day, and I look forward to our next conversation!

Samone- CA Sisterhood Sessions (00:00)
Welcome back everyone and thank you for joining another session of the Sisterhood. I'm so excited that you decided to join us today. So today I wanted to talk about something that is, I think, important to us as women and as the collective of the Sisterhood.

I want to talk about being feminine or softness. And when we hear these two words, we often think of a belittling, or we think of something that is against women, or we believe that it is something that minimizes who we are as women when those words are spoken. But I would like to encourage you in Titus two and three, and then two to probably verse four, it talks about the aged women.

it says, likewise, the age women likewise, that they may be in behavior as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things, that they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, keepers of the home, good, obedient to their own husbands.

that the word of God may not be blasphemy. And I think that this is important because when we think of feminism, we think of things that detract from us being women. And I would like to challenge us that when we are navigating the world of womanhood.

That we don't put our own self in a box, that we are open to the idea that there are characteristics and traits that are very becoming of women, and that we should want to display. There are certain behaviors and traditional things that are tied to us as women, and that's the gentleness that we bring, that the empathy.

The quiet strength being soft and tender,

Being delicate, not only with each other, but with information that is shared with us, being slow to speak, having something good and wise to say, being cognizant about how we dress. It's all of these amazing things that make us who we are as women. And I don't want us to get sidetracked because we hear the word feminine or we hear the word soft and we run for the heels.

so I would like to know your thoughts as it relates to being feminine and being soft. What do you think? I hope you have an amazing day. Share a comment and I will see you tomorrow. Take care.
