I have seen the most vicious things happen when two or more girls are involved. The situation can get very ugly very fast. I have experienced workplace sabotage and seen boyfriends stolen away from best friends. The adjectives and nouns used to describe other other women can make your neck hairs stand on edge.
Why can't girls get along? It's and age old question, but it still fascinates me. I believe jealousy is at the heart of it.
When I was growing up, I was on the skinny side. Consequently, my nickname was "Snakehips". I had no hips and no boobs. I always envied girls who had them. Crazy, huh?
As women, we're the same way. If someone is taller, thinner, sexier... The list is unending. Soon we begin to cast judgement on her character, simply based upon appearance. She becomes conceited, and we call her names under our breath.
Unfortunately, the Ten Commandments do not allow us to envy others. We are admonished to rejoice when others do. That's a sharp contrast.
Women have enough trouble in the world without tearing down each other. Maybe the next time we see a pretty woman, we can tell her so instead of giving her a dirty look.
Rubies are rare and precious jewels. Every facet is unique. When they are broken, they can only be restored by the Creator.

Hey, I'm reading a really great book right now that I highly reccomend for you and Tre. It's called "Lies Young Women Believe" by Nancy Leigh Demoss and Dannah resh- I got it from the library and it's great. The authors surveyed teenage Christian girls ahd tackled the most common lies their faced with (dealing with sex, relationships etc. But there was a really good chapter in there on youth pastors that I think you guys will find interesting. I'll probably copy this same post onto Tre's blog cause he asked that youth pastor question awhile back and this book taclkes a lot of things facing teen girls. Nancy also wrote another book for Women our age called jus "Lies Women Believe and I reccomend that one as we..
I've actually heard of these before. I will have to check them out.
