Confession: I'm a Thief



Ok, I confess. I'm sorry, but I stole this off my mom's e-mail signature. :) I'm not throwing all the weight on the women and girls, mind you, since most of these pertain to men and guys also.

A woman who does not have sound thinking:
(from http://www.reviveourhearts.com)
· is impulsive
· lacks discretion
· follows worldly philosophies
· is driven by her flesh
· lacks follow-through
· is self-centered
· is discontented
· has emotions controlled by circumstances
· seeks escapism from problems
· is easily provoked
· falls apart in a crisis
· easily loses hope
· says whatever she thinks without thinking first
· is highly opinionated
· speaks roughly with profane or crass talk
· is overly concerned about what other people think
· has unpredictable behavior
· is morally careless
· procrastinates
· is given to extremes
· is a pleasure seeker
· is easily distracted
· yields easily to temptation
· struggles to develop consistent life disciplines
· enjoys mindless entertainment
· looks for the easy way out
· thinks about the short-term rather than the long-term
· is demanding
· fritters away time
· makes decisions based on what is easiest

A woman who does have sound thinking:
· is restrained in:
o her thoughts
o her tongue
o her eating
o her spending
o her reactions
· is calm under pressure
· is purposeful in the use of her time
· is a good steward
· is morally chaste
· has a well-ordered life
· show good judgment
· doesn't "lose it" under pressure
· responds in faith versus fear
· guards her heart and mind
· evaluates what she reads or hears in light of Scripture
· is mentally disciplined
· resists temptation
· shows delayed gratification
· demonstrates others-centered living
· is diligent and faithful in her responsibilities
· is intentional
· is modest in dress and behavior
· hopes in God
