Four Common Sin Tendencies of Women

Going to use this blog as a diary and as a way to save things that are important to me.

Sarah sent this, it is something worth reading again.

1. Sin of Passivityhttp://dt1021.wordpress.com/2010/02/18/women-redeem-passivity/

Then I say ‘nothing’ in a tone that communicates ‘everything’. And I will continue this cycle until I get what I want"

4. Sin of Over Emotionalism

"This is when we are led by feelings instead of truth in the decisions we make and the paths we choose: who we date, where we go to school, how we spend our alone time, what movies we watch…"
