Deborah's Dating
Her story is in the book of Judges. She is strong and assertive in a man’s world. She was a prophetess and the only female judge (leader) of Israel. She was also a wife. The Bible simply tells us that Deborah was the wife of Lappidoth
It is written that she held court under the Palm of Deborah and the Israelites cahjfngnvgfrhcvfsdfdfddfvvdccdbfme to her to have their disputes settled. As Israel’s leader, she was a wise adviser and had great insight. In her story, it is recorded that she always gave the glory to God.
She was a leader, able to direct the men under her command. She commanded Israel’s army and was relied upon by its commanders. In one account, she commanded Barak to take 10,000 men and go off to war against Israel’s enemy, but he would not go unless she went with him. Deborah agreed but told him if this is what he chose, when the victory came, it would not be his. The honor would go to a woman. He may have thought that she was speaking of herself but the notoriety went to another woman.

Sisera, the commander of the opposing army took shelter in the home of Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, because he had a friendly relationship with the Kenite clan. As Sisera slept on the floor, Jael pounded a stake through his head, killing him and causing the victory to go to Israel.

Such a big bad word!
Dating! Such a big bad word! It produces fear into the hearts of even the strongest of us. My God, don't even think about how long it's been since you had to or even wanted to. Thoughts like: I'm too old for this, I'm afraid of what's out there, What if all I can find is some guy who smells like a hoagie and looks like a troll?, or I think I'm just meant to be alone, all start to circle that brain of yours. You actually break out in a cold sweat just thinking of it! Never fear ladies, Deborah is here!!!!
| Believe it or not sweetie, the first person you need to go on a date with is you. Yes you heard me, you, yourself, and you. As women, mothers, sisters, and wives, we spend so much time on others, that we forget about our relationship with ourselves. We are so busy building relationships with men, our children, or coworkers that we neglect the most important relationship. You must learn how to be in your own company and do it comfortably. You must be able to look in the mirror and say, DAMN you look good, and mean it. I don't know too many women who can do this. It is sooooooooooo important, ladies. Think about it. If someone were to say to you how do you think others see you, what would you answer be? Better still, if someone asked you what you see when you look in the mirror, what would your answer be? Don't answer right away, because this is something you really need to think about. | Finding love in relation- ships starts with finding love for and being in love with yourself. Most of us will say hey, I love myself, you must be crazy Deborah! Sure we all do love ourselves, but are you in love with you? I mean totally in love with to the point of insanity. I mean the kind of love that you will cherish and protect with your life. The kind of love that will not settle for the BS others try to shove down our throat and in your face. Being in love with you will not allow you to be in a half ass relationship. Being in love with you will not allow you to compromise your character and beliefs just to say I have a man. Being in love with you will always demand that same type of love from the one your are with! So for now ladies, I want you to think long and hard about your answer to my next question. When you come up with the answer that you know to be true, hit me up with a comment or a question and we will take the next step together. So tell me girls, are you really in love with YOU? |
