MONTHLY HIGHLIGHTS Not only does the man choose the woman, but anytime a woman chases a man, he runs.
Genesis 39:6b–13 says,
Now Joseph was well-built and handsome, and after a while his master’s wife took notice of Joseph and said, “Come to bed with me!”
But he refused. “With me in charge,” he told her, “my master does not concern himself with anything in the house; everything he owns he has entrusted to my care. No one is greater in this house than I am. My master withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?” And though she spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be with her.
One day he went into the house to attend to his duties, and none of the household servants were inside. She caught him by his cloak and said, “Come to bed with me!” But he left his cloak in her hand and ran out of the house.” .
We see here Pharaoh’s wife offered herself to Joseph. She chased after him. When a woman chases a man, he runs. God never intended for women to chase men. Now, a man may sleep with you since you are offering, but since you were not his choice, you will be forever chasing him. He will be with you because of what you are giving him. But as soon as the gifts are gone or he has had enough of you or someone else catches his eye, he is gone

Literature for the Soul: My Testimony
Book Review -
By LURINA WILLIAMS
The Dallas Examiner
My Testimony is a healing book to read with a deep message. In this book, Arquila Todd discusses how God used the pain in her dating relationships to get her attention and return her to Him. Throughout that process, Todd received a testimony and wrote about it to share her experiences in that journey with women and young adults.
It took me a while to read the entire book because the messages I received on some of the issues she wrote about and the lessons to be learned in those situations were in some way applicable to me or others I knew. I had to take a few hours or sometimes a day to reflect on some of the things I read.
Not only was it informative, positive, spiritual and uplifting, but it was very motivating as well. It made me do some reflecting and soul searching about the relationships and friendships in my life.
This book really iterates the importance of the presence of God in our life and at the forefront of our relationships. Many times without realizing, we make our significant others, friends or even family members the main focus of our lives, our first priority. We make our schedules and correlate our daily activities around these people. We put others first. Many people are guilty of this.
You know as well as I know if you believe the Lord is your Savior, that our God is a jealous God. So once distracted, He brings pain and chaos into our relationships so we have no choice but to turn to Him. This is His way of reminding us of things we forget like honoring the Lord, loving and respecting our selves, and obeying His word.
With Arquila, it took several failed relationships for her to see what was really going on. Once she figured it out, she took different approaches to her relationships and made God her main focus and priority always. Everything turned around and she was and is able to live a happy life with healthy relationships.
She uses Bible scriptures to recap her teachings of the lessons learned and evidence of her Lord helping her to come back to the right path. I recommend this book to all strong God-fearing women, young adults and even teenagers who have been a part of failed relationships or friendships. This book will definitely leave you thinking and reflecting on past and present relationships you have endured, and hopefully will help to make sense of why certain things happened or why they failed. I give this book a score of four out of a five.
