I was born to be a leader...and you called me bossy
I wanted to disciple others...and you limited me to the ladies
I have a prophetic voice...and you said I was destroying the unity in fellowship
So even though I itch to preach, I limit myself to writing
Even though I want to pastor a church, I am a chaplain at work
And even though I love passionately, I just can't marry into the patriarchy
This is for the strong women out there who just can't stop being who they were created to be. Maybe we'll be in charge during the Millennial Reign, since this era has been run by men and for men.
Following Jesus is not the same as--in fact, it's sometimes antithetical to--being a nice Christian girl, and it has cost me community and, at several points in my journey, my faith altogether. But life without Him is just never the same, so like someone with Stockholm Syndrome, I keep staying on...
