What is femininity? Is it comprised of makeup perfection, rocking the latest fashion trends and well-maintained hair? I don't think so. While I enjoy those aspects of being a woman, femininity is so much more than that.

Femininity is about being fruitful. It's about birthing God-given purpose, nurturing relationships and serving others.

I think it's easy for young women to feel overwhelmed by the ever-increasing standards of beauty that our culture promotes. Growing up, I remember feeling pressured about my weight and that I was "too skinny" or "too dark." Now that I'm a little older, I've decided to embrace my authentic femininity. I'm not perfect. I have flaws. I'm under construction. But I'm cool with that. And I trust that God's got me.

If you've been battling body issues, low self-esteem or questioning your femininity, I encourage you to be authentic to who God made you to be. If you love sports, hate dresses and heels, and pink makes you want to puke (lol!), then do you! None of that makes you feminine. Remember that femininity is about being fruitful, and always stay true to who God made you.
