Discipleship and accountability are important parts of the Christian life. Men and women ministering side-by-side is certainly a beautiful thing, but there are benefits to women being around other women. There’s a poem written by an unknown author where a young boy asks why his mom cries. Below is an excerpt from that poem, where God responds by explaining: "When I made the woman she had to be special. I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet gentle enough to give comfort. I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her children. I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart. I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly. And finally, I gave her a tear to shed. This is hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed..." As women, we need one another to remind us of these things. At Bethel, our women meet for Chat ‘N’ Chew once a quarter. It’s a great time of sharing culinary favorites, enjoying relationship-building activities, and seeking God’s desire for us as individuals and as sisters in a church. Our hope is to challenge one another in a way that will impact the lives of those around us for Jesus Christ, whether it be at home, work, play and even at church.

Nekad davno jedan je dečaćic upitao svoju majku: "Zašto plačeš?" "Zato što sam žena" - odgovorila je. "Ne razumem" - rekao je dečak. Mama ga je samo zagrlila i rekla: "Nikada i nećeš." Kasnije je upitao oca: "Zašto mi se čini da mama plače bez ikakvog razloga?" "Sve žene plaču bez ikakvog razloga" - bilo je jedino sto je tata znao reci. Dečaćic je odrastao i postao muškarac, i jos uvek se pitao zašto žene plaču? Naposletku se obratio Bogu i upitao ga : "Bože, zašto se žene tako lako rasplaču?" Bog odgovori: "Kad sam stvarao ženu morala je biti posebna. Dao sam joj ramena dovoljno jaka da nose svu težinu ovoga sveta, a opet dovoljno nežna da mogu pruzati utehu. Dao sam joj unutrašnju snagu da podnese porod i odbijanje koje joj toliko puta stiže od njezine dece. Dao sam joj čvrstinu koja joj omogućuje da ide dalje kad svi drugi odustanu, i da se brine za svoju porodicu u doba bolesti i nevolje bez prigovora. Dao sam joj osjećajnost da voli svoju decu bez obzira na sve, čak i ako ju je njezino dete veoma povredilo. Dao sam joj snagu da nosi svoga muža kroz njegove pogreške i načinio je od njegovog rebra da bi štitila njegovo srce. Dao sam joj mudrosti da zna da dobar muž nikada ne bi povrijedio svoju ženu,ali povremeno testira njezinu snagu i odlučnost da postojano bude uz njega. I napokon, dao joj suzu da je isplače. To je samo njezino, na korištenje kad god joj zatreba. Vidiš, lepota žene nije u odeći koju nosi, u njezinoj figuri, ili u načinu na koji se češlja. Ljepota žene mora se videti u njezinim očima, jer to je ulaz u njezino srce - mesto gdje stanuje ljubav..."
