Can’t Be Tamed! Is This What We Are Teaching Our Daughters?

October 11, 2010 by Traci

As a Mom, this video down right broke my heart.  Seriously, it brought me to tears.  It also enraged me.  Is this what we are teaching our little girls?  My precious four year old daughter, will one day be 8, and 10, and God help me now, 13!

Please be very careful what you allow your children to watch and who you allow them to follow and idolize.  You do have a say in the matter!
Sin always lies.  It promises gratification and pleasure, and always leaves one empty and alone.
I know that many young, innocent girls idolize her:
Personally, I’ve never seen what the hype is all about.   
Again, after this video, I’m down right saddened.  It is also scary.  But not surprising.
With the rise in the vampire obsession and other sensual/evil films, this is now what our young girls are driven towards.
Sin. Darkness. Evil.  (Insert Goosebumps here.) 
A video full of sensuality, glamorizing having no control over our own bodies as women; that we can’t be tamed by our own desire for men, sex, and all the evil pleasures of the world.  Rolling around like an animal, rubbing hand against chest in a seductive way.
Down right disgusting.  Pure evil.  Some liken it to a Sodom and Gomorrah “feel”. 
I’m truly outraged.  We need to take a stand as mothers and not allow this! 
Teach your children at a young age who they should look up to.  Show them godly examples of women in the Bible like Ruth and Esther.   Read them stories about missionaries like Amy Carmichael and women of God stood up for their faith and love for God.

Better yet, be that living example of a woman that lives and obeys what God’s says each day in your home.
Constantly remind them of these truths:
1)  Sin always lies and brings destruction. (Proverbs 14:12)
2)  Sin brings death and always has consequences. (James 1:15)
3)  Be a leader, not a follower.  Don’t  just be a crowd appeaser.  
4)  Our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit.  Dress and act in a modest way. (1 Cor. 6:19)
5)  Don’t seek to be noticed by men.  God does not want us walking around, “advertising ourselves”.  There are street corners for that:  (See Proverbs 7)
It is time that we stand up and say enough is enough.  Don’t be afraid to sit down and have a heart to heart with your daughter, who may be idolizing people like Miley Cyrus.

We need to be covering our children in prayer, and standing on the front lines of the battle for their eternal souls.  If they know the Lord, Satan wants to feed them subtle lies like this video portrays. 

Some lyrics to her song:

Have to get my way, 24 hours a day
I go through guys like money flyin’ out their hands 
I can’t be tamed, I can’t be saved
I can’t be blamed, I can’t, can’t
I can’t be tamed, I can’t be changed
I can’t be saved, I can’t be (can’t be)
I can’t be tamed.
Mothers… tell your daughters, they can be tamed by the Blood of Christ!

Blushing with your delicate, rosy hue, a gentle b Blushing with your delicate, rosy hue, 
a gentle breeze blows through fresh, new blooms.
Your time is fleeting, yet faithful,
a promise of beauty each spring.

Gifting petals that fall to the earth,
You are waiting for me to visit you.
Basking beneath warm shadows,
Deeply breathing in nature’s favorite perfume. 

A legacy of faithful promise,
Graceful, elegant, familiar and kind.
As the sun streams through branches,
Your reflection twinkles and twirls, 
Leaving your dance card upon my heart.

You whisper, come linger a little longer,
No need to be in such a rush.
Through storm clouds, torrential rain, 
and those picture perfect days,
You continue your steady climb toward the heavens.

Your limbs grow stronger, your roots deeper still.
Your humble beauty speaks for itself. 
No need to shout, nor beg for attention.
You hold the secrets of many who return year after year,
Who sit beneath your branches,
and find healing to bloom as well.

Don’t trade God’s perfect timing for impatient substitutes. 

The counterfeit isn’t anything compared to the real deal. 

Surrender brings peace, joy, and rest. 

So trust fully to His perfect plan for your life. 

No more rushing ahead. 
No more backseat driving. 
No more comparing.
No more striving. 

Lay down the endless coveting of an illusion of perfection. 

He’s everything you’re longing for, 
striving after, and so much more. 

Open your hands and release your grip. 
Now you’re ready to receive His good 
and precious blessings.
In a time with so many voices, opinions and commen In a time with so many voices, opinions and commentaries, we can get overwhelmed by the noise. 

What should we believe?
What should we say?
Who's side are we on?

You can never go wrong with running to the feet of Jesus.  Get alone with God today, open His Word, and hear the words that matter above all else.
Walk in God's law Keep God's testimonies Seek Hi Walk in God's law 
Keep God's testimonies 
Seek Him with your whole heart 
Steadfastly keep His statues
Keep His commandments diligently 
Fix your eyes on His ways 
Praise Him with an upright heart 
Guard His Word 
Hide His Word in your heart 
Be Teachable 
Declare His ways with your mouth 
Meditate on His precepts 
Delight in God's statues
Ask to have your eyes open 
Ask for understanding and wisdom 
Find your strength in His Word 
Choose the way of faithfulness 
Set His ways before you 
Turn your eyes from worthless things 
Trust in His Word above all else 
Find comfort in His promises 
Make God's ways your heart's song 
Be friends with those who fear God
Value God's Word far more than riches 
Remember His faithfulness that endures through all generations 
His words are sweeter than honey 
His Word is a lamp to your feet 
His Word is a light to your path 
His testimonies are your heritage 
His testimonies are the joy of your heart 
He is your hiding place and shield 
Do what is just and right 
Hate every false way 
Ask the Lord to be gracious to you
Ask His face to shine on you 
Learn to be saddened by sin 
Daily put His promises to the test 
Peace is given to those who love His law
This world will offer you information, but true kn This world will offer you information, but true knowledge comes from God and His Word.  What are we filing our minds and hearts with? What we meditate on, will consume us and change us.  Let's makes sure we are being filled with truth.  Read Proverbs 2 today.  Look at all we gain from seeking after the knowledge of His Word :

Receive 
Treasure 
Listen 
Be Attentive 
Incline Your Heart 
Call out for insight 
Raise your voice for understanding 
Seek & Search 

-> then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find knowledge of God, righteousness and justice.

He is my shield 
He gives me abundant wisdom 
He guards my path and watches over me 
Wisdom will come in my heart 
Knowledge will be pleasant to my soul 
Discretion will watch over me 
Understanding will guard me 
Keeps me walking on the paths of righteousness
