What does Faith look like?

This post is a couple of years old because I never finished the poem. Now it's done and I hope you understand what I'm trying to say:

Is she tall and thin?
Is she clean within?
Is she shy and insecure?
Is her heart pure?
Is she short and stout?
Does she prance about?
Is she loose with men?
Is she full of sin?
Is she wise
Or a fool?
Is she fearful?
Is she cool?
Does she live by grace?
Can she show her face?
Is she living by the Law?
By tooth and claw?
Is she resting?
Is she trusting?
Is she tossed?
Is she hustling?
What is man?
That thou art mindful?
Who I am
Art Thou mindful?
Faith says "yes."
Faith says "yes."

He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not?






I'm not going to complain about how long it has taken me to write on this blog because happily I have been busy with other endeavors. I'm just going to say that I'm thankful that I have such a cool outlet to occasionally vent. I'm glad I don't email this one so that I can be a little more free about what I put in it. Sometimes being a woman in this world sucks. And it could just be my circumstances and my outlook but sometimes I wonder how on earth women have survived as long as we have with all that we have going against us. Does God still have a special place in his heart for us? It's hard to tell sometimes with all the misogynistic behavior being perpetrated against women all over the world and right here in this country. If you have any scriptures proving that God loves women please, please, please add them to the comments because I would really appreciate them.
