What Kind of Woman Am I?: 30 Day Guide to Becoming an Even Better Woman

By Shalanda Thomas

Many of us have the same feelings regarding criticism. It crosses gender lines, religious lines, color lines, and race lines, and that is, no one readily likes to be criticized or critiqued. No one likes to be at fault, and no one likes to be the object of humiliation, but in order to become the person you were meant to be, being criticized or critiqued is par for the course. It is a process we all must endure. This guide is intended to provide the keys in becoming an even better woman. This guide is intended to help you discover the woman God intends for you to be, your sole purpose for being created. It may even help you in developing areas in your life that need improvement. Those areas that need improvement can be the exact reason why there is a lack of growth in your life. This guide will also make you examine yourself. You should ask yourself, "What kind of woman am I?" Then try to answer it. Am I the type of woman that gossips, makes others feel less than? Am I pessimistic or optimistic? Can I stand not being the center of attention? Am I petty? Am I prideful? Ask yourself those hard questions and answer honestly. Then ask someone who you know loves you those same questions, and be prepared to hear the truth. If becoming a better woman and identifying your purpose is truly one of your ultimate goals in life, do not be afraid to ask those hard questions of yourself.

Foreword

The Bible tells us in the book of Habakkuk 2:1-3, I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.

² And the Lord answered me, and said, write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.

³ For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

I can honestly say the author of this book, Shalanda Lynett Thomas has done her homework, she has stood watch, and has been patient to see what the Lord would say and lead her to do in her life. Now, you get to reap the benefits of God’s love and influence in her life. As the scripture says the time will come, and it will not delay.

I have been there to see how God has manifested his spirit and will in her life. She has endured the challenge of bonus children, a very set in his ways husband, and two incredible blessings from God whom she cherishes and nurtures with the passion and love that only comes from the virtuous woman spoken of in Proverbs 31.

In addition to this she has been given the assignment of being a Pastor’s wife, and all the extra duties that come along with that. Without question there are challenges that have come along the way which naturally raise the question; What kind of woman am I? This is not just a book title, and a catchy question, but it’s a reflection on the destiny God has given her.

I have seen all sides of the author, and the wonderful thing I have learned about her is, she is incredibly driven to help others. She has a burning desire to make lives better, she donates her time to the church, girl scouts, substitute teaching, she has her own foundation to help young girls at risk, and she is always ready to listen and assist anyone who asks for her help.

I am blessed to have her as my wife, and our children adore her. I know if you align yourself with the guidelines of this book you will be better for it. There is a blessing in all of the chapters, the scripture and prayers will lift your spirit.

I am excited for you to take this journey into self betterment. After all we should all be trying daily to be better. We should all be reaching for a higher level in love, kindness,
