Wise Women

I attended a camp called "Wise Women Camp" last week. Since husband had already attended Men's Camp twice, i guessed its time for me to join the women's version.

There were more or less 70 women there, which i thought was a spectacular number. Well, in my church back in Paris, to gather people more than 20 in one occasion was so hard.

The sessions begins with the speaker told us about the uniqeness of woman, their values and their function in family and society. After that we learned about how our parents treated us, especially mother affects our emotion and behaviour right now. The next session is about sins most women do, continued with the session about respecting our husband as the head and the leader in the family. The camp was closed by a session about family.

I've been blessed a lot, surely from the topics, but mostly from my counsellor. She's very soft, patience, and prayed with the most sincere heart for us. Btw, she's also a well known Chiropractic doctor.

During testimonies session, many of my friends came in front and shared how they've been blessed by the sessions. What strucked me most was that the fact that many of them had had terrible childhood and abusive mothers. Couple of them also shared how their husbands left them for another woman.

My heart ached when i heard their testimonies. Right until the moment before i joined the camp, i always thought that my problem was the biggest among all women there. After hearing from people i realized all my treasures in life, given by the Lord. My loving parents, they're perfect. My husband, he's the greatest.

I've never been abused, physically nor verbally by anyone close.
I enjoyed a happy-care-free childhood.
I know not what it's like to have bondage in pornography, drugs or anything dangerous.

I repented right away. I said, "Lord, i'd never judged You from my problems. I know for sure, You've always given me the best in life. You've always taken care of me. Thankyou Jesus."
