When I became a woman

When I became a woman, I put away childish things,

but before I became a woman I didn't fit the shoes of a King.

 

When I became a woman, I learned to put God first,

instead of putting man and things of this earth.

 

When I became a woman, I finally loved myself,

I've realized my value, my beauty and my self worth.

 

When I became a woman, people rolled their eyes at me speaking about Jesus,

to make their lives straight and who can heal their broken pieces.

 

When I became a woman, I had to learn to be content with Jesus alone,

not to search, seek, or place things before the One on the throne.

 

When I became a woman, I had to be stripped of everything I knew,

I had to face lies, deception, deep hurts, open wounds and everything that was untrue.

 

When I became a woman, I realized I have no control,

to let go, trust God is what makes us truly whole.

 

When I became a woman, I used to have my own set of plans,

to get married, have children, but God said, "Not Yet".

 

When I became a woman, I learned to give and trust God that He will provide,

before I was selfish, scared and thought what was mine, was mine.

 

When I became a woman, I wanted to learn more about Gods divine plan for
my life,

I started to read the Bible, books, listen to sermons and to walk right.

 

When I became a woman, my love for going to church grew,

I enjoyed going every Sunday, sitting on the back pew.

 

When I became a woman, I wanted my life to have a purpose,

I wanted to leave this world knowing that it wasn't worthless.

 

When I became a woman, I picked up my Cross and put down my shame,

My sins were forgiven in Jesus Name.
