“Yes I am pregnant, with another man’s baby, but I have to sleep with this new guy because he gives me rent money. He feeds me and my son and I can buy some supplements for the one in my tummy. I am not like you, you wouldn’t understand. You have a job, I don’t! You have a family that supports you, I don’t! So please, don’t judge me.”
This is a true story and just one of many women who need to depend on a man for survival. The father of the baby in her tummy has moved on with his life. There is a new guy who is married but wants to have a little fun with this lady. This pregnant lady. She is desperate, so she had to give what she could for what she needed.
Here at A Woman Free, we believe that being financially independent means that you have the power to decide what happens to your body. This is because you are not depending on a man to support you financially who demands your body as a way of paying him back. It is important that we are empowered as women so that we can stand on our own and choose well for our lives. Being empowered and financially independent means that you can afford to be pure. It means you don’t have to give your body to a man in return for him taking care of you and your bills.
“I need him so I can face the world!” I thought to myself for years and years, too afraid to leave a toxic relationship because I was afraid of being on my own. I thought that I could not make it on my own; that I am not smart enough, well-connected enough, safe enough, strong enough and able to take care of myself financially on my own. Until the relationship eventually ended, and then I was left with the woman staring back at me in the mirror. I didn’t know her, I had spent my life searching for a man to define me. I could not define this woman staring back at me. But now I had to. I did. And I fell in love with her. Now I am free to be me, on my own, and bold, courageous and happy. And most of all, free!
At a Woman Free we believe that women were not created just to compliment men and please their sexual cravings. We were created to do what we were created to do. God has a purpose for every woman and she can fulfill it even on her own, as a single woman. We want women to be able to stand strong on their own as single women and not feel incomplete. We want them to be bold enough to face the world.
When we are afraid to be on our own as women, we often get into and stay in relationships that stand in the way of our relationship with God. Relationships where the guy wants sex and you have to give it to him so that you can keep him because you are afraid to be alone. Breaking free from the fear of being alone means you have the power to choose and live a pure life! So PERSONAL FREEDOM is very important for purity.
