When talking about Women submitting to their husbands and following their lead Marcia says "I think it goes way back to the garden, we simply don't trust Adam."
A couple of thoughts:
1. I think she's probably right. Part of the curse that God gives to women is that they would desire to rule over their husbands, so submitting would be in direct opposition of their natural inclinations. (Gen 3:16)
2. I feel great guilt and fear that I'm not an "Adam" that's worthy of trust. I don't even trust myself, why would I ask someone else to trust me?
3. Jesus, I am a great sinner and feel like a failure as a son. I know you have bought righteousness and an identity for me that is perfect and flawless, but I don't feel like I've stepped into that. When you speak reality shifts to your command. You said "Let there be light" and there was light. I need you to speak truth into me that destroys my sinful nature and instability. My untrustworthiness, my sinful nature from Adam. Not so that people will come to trust in me, but that they would see your work, and trust in you.
