A good biblical woman knows how to shop!

Feeling the need for inspiration as a good Christian woman, I logged onto Today’s Christian Woman. And sure enough, the first image to appear was one that spoke to me, a real heart-to-heart moment. A woman with a shopping bag slung over her shoulder was looking back as if to say, “Come on! Let’s run to the mall for a quick shopping spree.”

No doubt about it: tempt me with racks upon racks of clothes or shoes or accessories and I’m just, well, in heaven. I cannot imagine anything better to do than spend hours feeling extraordinarily embarrassed by my lack of fashion savvy, trying on all kinds of clothes that I know I’d never be caught dead wearing, because, in reality, I’d never get up nerve enough to wear them. For that matter, since I’m pretty frugal, refusing to spend money on something I know I can’t wear with just about everything else in my tiny closet, I feel guilty or frustrated the entire time. If I’m going to spend some extra cash, odds are its going to be on a new book or two.

Still, since I have been in serious training this past year to become a true woman, I figured I should at least read this shopping article, hoping to glean some insight from a woman who must know something about shopping that I don’t.
