Aggressive Girls

"I can't believe how physical these girls are with my son. And they text him day and night and call his cell phone late at night. We are really at a loss as to how handle these girls."

My husband and I run the Parents of Teens small group in our church. One of the conversations our group has had is with frustrated parents of teen boys. They are struggling with how to handle aggressive teen girls- a problem they never anticipated.

The problem is real. More girls initiate contact with boys and push for sexual activity. They are encouraged to be aggressive by pop culture. And many boys are growing up without male leadership in their homes, confused about their identities and unsure how they are supposed to treat girls who come on to them.

So be proactive with your sons and talk to them about ways to handle aggressive girls. Train your sons in proper ways to treat a girl and discuss protocols and expectations of texting, late night calls and physical limits.

To parents of daughters, help daughters see a healthy perspective regarding their sexuality. This is helped by dads who show affection and interest in their teen daughters. Talk to daughters about modest dress and appropriate conduct with boys. We have to point out what the culture teaches that leads to problems.

Let's help our teens make sense of what they see on television, movies and other media. It's not an easy world for them to navigate.

Miriam

Miriam was the big sister of Moses. Her name (sometimes rendered as Mary in English) means 'bitter' although it could also signify 'one who loves or is loved by Yahweh'. Yahweh means 'the self-existent one'. Yahweh is one of the ways the children of Israel referred to God. Meet the family Amram and Jochebed were the father and mother of Miriam, Aaron and Moses. Moses was the youngest of the three yet became the leader of the pack (Exodus 2:3-4; Exodus 6:20; Numbers 26:59). Moses was the man who led Israel out of Egypt. As the big sister of the family Miriam knew all the secrets. Women often get to know about things that men don't. When Pharaoh of Egypt decreed the death of all Israel baby boys in a desperate attempt to curb the growth of Israel, Amram and Jochebed put baby Moses into a waterproof basket and set it on the river in an attempt to save his life. It was Miriam who was watching the basket when the daughter of Pharaoh discovered it. It w

What Happen To Your Rulership?

My desire is for women to be restored to their rightful place of rulership of Grace, Femininity, Beauty, Temperance, and Excellence. Together they work from within and shine outwardly. The enemy of our soul works counterclockwise in that he uses the exterior and destroys what is on the inside. There is a direct correlation between rulership and judgment. In order to effectively rule, there must be the practice of sound judgment. When rulership is void of sound judgment, a poor rulership is inevitable. Rulership is a choice. You can either rule or be ruled. Walking in rulership is important because it sets order and establishes boundaries. God (YAH) has given us rulership over our conduct, appearance, and speech. These things have rulership over you by choice. Rulership is the difference between YAH's people and the world. Rulership is living the way YAH (God) intended for us to live before the foundation of the world. It is time to take a long hard look in the mir

Time Of Refreshing

Psalms 12:6-7 The words of the Lord are pure words, Like silver tried in a furnace of earth, Purified seven times. 7 You shall keep them, O Lord , You shall preserve them from this generation forever.
