Purpose in womanhood
In every season of life, womanhood carries a sacred rhythm—an ebb and flow of nurturing, leading, listening, and growing. As Christian women, we are called not only to walk in faith but to walk together, lifting one another up in love, truth, and grace. It wasn’t until after having children did I really appreciate having Christian women in my life. I needed that community to help me navigate the world as a mom in the 21st century full of media and people telling everyone what is best. Believe me having a group of women who have similar beliefs in my life help me get through the journey of raising children.
The Beauty of Womanhood in Christ
Being a woman in Christ is not just about roles—it’s about allowing Christ’s spirit to work through you. We are daughters of the King, created with purpose and intention. Proverbs 31 paints a picture of strength and dignity, but it also reminds us that our worth is not in perfection, but in reverence for God. In a world that often defines women by external standards, Christianity invites us to be defined by our Creator.
As Christian women we often hear about how we should be the proverbs 31 wife. Who is this wife you ask? She is the beauty within. The beginning of it definitely tells the man how to be. But you wife, mom, sister for all, let me tell you the second part is such an uplifting inspiration for you. Don’t let Satan and the world tell you that Christianity is against women!
I need to share this because it has made me so excited to be a women today!
We as women are told that we are worth more than rubies! God sees how hard we work. And the Lord even sees us getting up at night to our babies. He’s letting your sleeping husband know!

Proverbs 31:13-15 is for you, young mama’s!
“She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands. She is like the merchant ships. Bringing her food far a far. She gets up while it is still night; she provides food for her family and portions for her female servants”
God sees you!
Motherhood: A Holy Calling because you were made holy by God.
Motherhood is one of the most profound expressions of love and sacrifice. Whether you're a biological mom, adoptive mom, spiritual mom, or mentor, the heart of motherhood reflects God's nurturing nature. It’s in the sleepless nights, the whispered prayers, the teaching moments, and the quiet sacrifices that we live out the gospel daily.
As a mom living in these times it is often hard to listen to all the voices around us, telling us what a virtuous woman is. The question still remains: what is motherhood and womanhood? Is it a woman who spends all her time at work and is the woman-boss and can rise to the top of her company in a short few years? Or is it the woman who chooses to have a family, raise kids and stay at home? Every time I listen to someone else talk about woman-hood, I get two opposed answers. One of which phrases the woman who can be the “girl boss” raising to the top of of her career and the other who has sacrificed her career goals and stayed home to raise a family. I feel that I should go for the latter of the two ways of life some days. I am someone who is usually so sure of what I choose to do with my life with a big plan and an end goal, but today I find myself thinking that maybe I don’t have that drive any more. But if you just be still for a while your creator will let you in on why he created you.
On the flip side I am proud that I can bring up my children to have more of me in their life. I can pick them up from school every day and they don’t have to go to daycare after a full day of being away from me. Of course this season will also end as my kids grow and find that they need more independence in life. But today as a mom of young children I, as well as other women feel that strong calling to be with our children.
But while this is empowering to raise our children, it may also feel very isolating.
The Power of Christian Sisterhood
There is something deeply healing about being surrounded by other women who share your faith. In Titus 2, Paul encourages older women to teach and encourage younger women—a model of mentorship and mutual support. When we gather—whether in Bible study, prayer groups, or over coffee—we remind each other that we are not alone.
Older women similarly are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips nor addicted to much wine, teaching what is right and good, 4so that they may encourage the young women to tenderly love their husbands and their children, 5to be sensible, pure, makers of a home [where God is honored], good-natured, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored. (Titus 2:3)
We share our burdens, celebrate our victories, and speak life into one another. We become mirrors of God’s love, reflecting His grace in our friendships.
Staying Connected in a Disconnected World
We live in a world that seems to allow us to connect to anyone in the world, and people probably thought at the beginning of internet that we would be so close with everyone. We can now send messages, pictures and videos to our loved ones across the world. Make phone calls and even video calls to our families living thousands of miles away. But something is standing in the way of us being genuine selves with genuine meaning and love towards others. Maybe it’s the lack of physical touch, or the lack of telling people how we feel to their physical selves. As someone who has grown up having the first computers in our schools, being in front of a screen doesn’t always feel so weird. But why are we so comfortable being disconnected. Is this why there is so much depression amongst our generation with suicide rates soaring. This should be a cultural worry; if our friends are going to live to the next day because they are so isolated. Instead of waiting for someone to reach out to us maybe we need to start having a reach out to “insert name” as part of our daily routine.
To every woman reading this: You are seen. You are loved. You are part of a divine sisterhood that spans generations and cultures. Whether you're in a season of joy or struggle, know that God walks with you—and so do your sisters in Christ.
Let’s continue to grow together, pray together, and walk boldly in the calling God has placed on our lives.
Proverbs 31:25: "She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come,"
