The Heart of a Woman 2

A dominating woman, as we are finding out, is one that unconsciously desires to be seperated from her femininity, so that she can control the fate of the man in her life, and thereby secure her own fate. This trait often morphs us into the CONTROLLING WOMAN! CONTROLLING WOMAN She does not trust anyone else to drive her car, or help in her kitchen, or speak at (HER) church retreats or meetings, or carry something for her, or make a decision that she prefers to make herself...she does not want you to suggest a different dress, or agenda, or restaurant, or route. She travels alone and rooms alone. She plans perfect parties for her children. According to the book (Captivating by Stasi Eldredge*), this type of woman may appear to be a good mom, or a good friend but what they are really doing is arranging other people's lives...because secretly, they want to take all the credit. Controlling women are the sort of women who live for others. She tends to be very well rewarded, and often receives corporate promotions. She is often put in charge of women's ministries and huge projects. She is the ultimate CAN-DO, BOTTOM-LINE, GET-IT-DONE kind of woman! Although this attitude gives us a rush of perfection, unfortunately, by living a controlling and domineering life, we are really refusing to trust God. And it has also never dawned on us that something precious in us is lost. Something the world needs very much. Selah...
