JUST ENOUGH

I OFTEN WONDER IF MEN REALIZE WHAT A HARD JOB IT IS TO BE A WOMAN.  YOU HAVE TO MAINTAIN MULTIPLE SKILLS AND BE ENOUGH OF THEM ALL.  I KNOW THAT ALL MEN HAVE HAD THE PLEASURE OF EXPERIENCING A WOMAN SNAP AT SOME POINT.  WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW IS WHY. MANY TIMES IT SEEMS TO BE OVER SOMETHING SMALL, BUT IT IS A COLLISION OF MANY EMOTIONS DUE TO THE MANY HATS WE MUST TO WEAR.  A WOMAN’S LIFE IS BASED AROUND ACTIONS THAT ARE MEDICALLY CONSIDERD BIPOLAR.  BIPOLAR IS DEFINED AS THE IDEA OF MOODS SWING FROM ONE EXTREME TO THE OTHER.  THESE MOODS ARE NORMALLY POLAR OPPOSITES, WHICH IS WHERE THE NAME COMES FROM. WOMEN HAVE TO BE JUST ENOUGH OF SO MANY THINGS TO BE FUNCTIONAL IN THIS WORLD; MEN LET ME BREAK IT DOWN FOR YOU SO YOU WILL KNOW!!!

WOMEN HAVE TO BE STRONG ENOUGH NOT TO LET THE WORLD BEAT US DOWN. BOLD ENOUGH TO DEAL WITH WORLD TREATING US LIKE WE ARE LESS THEN MEN. WE MUST SOFT ENOUGH TO NURTURE CHILDREN. SMART ENOUGH TO EDUCATE A NATION. WOMEN HAVE TO BE CRAFTY ENOUGH TO FIX TORN CLOTHES, AND DOMESTIC ENOUGH TO COOK AND CLEAN. YOU KNOW WOMEN HAVE TO BE SASSY ENOUGH TO BE THE BADDEST CHICK AROUND WHEN WE STEP OUT. WE MUST BE SEXY ENOUGH TO SATISFY OUR MEN.   AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST FAITHFUL ENOUGH TO TRUST THAT GOD WILL BALANCE IT ALL OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FROM HINCE FORTH MEN, CONSIDER ALL THAT A WOMAN HAS ON HER PLATE BEFORE YOU COMPLAIN, JUDGE OR ADD TO IT.  ASK YOURSELF IF YOU COULD BE ENOUGH IF YOU HAD TO……..

NU PURPOSE

I AM SITTING HERE REJOICING OVER THE THINGS THAT GOD IS DOING IN MY LOVED ONE'S LIVES.  MY DEAR FRIEND (NU PURPOSE IS THE GROUP NAME) WON HER FIRST GOSPEL AWARD TONIGHT, AND I AM SO EXCITED.  GOD GAVE HER SOMETHING SPECIAL AND IN SPITE OF ALL HER TRIALS, SHE USES IT TO GIVE HIM GLORY. HER TALENT COULD HAVE TAKEN HER MANY OTHER PLACES BUT SHE CHOSE TO WALK THE PATH THAT HE HAD LAID AND NOW HE IS REWARDING HER.  MANY TIMES WE MAKE BAD CHOICES AND DETOUR BUT THE IMPORTANT THING IS TO GET BACK ON TRACK.  GOD WILL GRANT YOU YOUR HEARTS DESIRE IF YOU STAY FAITHFUL AND DO HIS WORK.  SHE IS THE PERFECT EXAMPLE OF FAITHFULNESS, WHICH IS WHY SHE FOUND HER TRUE..................... NU PURPOSE.

PURPOSE IS DEFINED AS THE REASON IN WHICH SOMETHING EXIST, OR IS DONE, MADE, USED..............  GOD CREATED US ALL WITH PURPOSE.  MAY TIMES AT SOME POINT IN OUR LIVES, WE LOSE SIGHT OF OUR PURPOSE BECAUSE OF OTHER LIFE VENTURES.  HOWEVER, THOSE OF US WHO TRULY KNOW AND LOVE GOD ALWAYS FIND OUR WAY BACK.  THE THING IS OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD IS NOT ABOUT BEING PERFECT, IT IS ABOUT BEING FAITHFUL IN SPITE OF.  GOD KNOWS THAT WE ALL HAVE AND WILL SIN BUT HE CONTINUES TO LOVE US.  THE THING IS TO SEPARATE YOUR DESIRES FROM YOUR PURPOSE. THE THINGS YOU DESIRE CAN BE REWARDS FOR BEING FAITH AND WALKING IN YOUR PURPOSE.  YOUR DESIRES CAN ALSO HINDER YOU FROM WALKING IN YOUR PURPOSE, THE CHOICE IS YOURS.

WHAT IS YOUR PURPOSE?  WHAT IS IT THAT GOD CREATED YOU TO DO?  HOW ARE YOU USING YOUR PURPOSE FOR THE UPKEEP OF HIS KINGDOM?  THESE ARE ALL QUESTIONS THAT WE MUST ASK OURSELVES.  YOUR PURPOSE IS A MAJOR PART OF YOUR CONNECTION TO GOD BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT HE CREATED YOU FOR.  WHEN YOU WALK WITH HIM AND WORK FOR HIM, YOU TOO CAN FIND YOUR NU PURPOSE!!

SISTERS

WE COME IN A VARIETY OF COLORS.  WE HAIL FROM DIFFERENT WALKS OF LIFE.  WE COME IN ALL SHAPES AND SIZES.  WE SHARE MANY SIMILARITIES AND JUST AS MANY DIFFERENCES.  THERE WILL NEVER BE A TIME WHEN TWO OR MORE OF US ARE TOGETHER AND WE ARE UNABLE TO RELATE IN SOME MANNER.  IN THE MIDST OF EGO'S, JEALOUSY, AND TONS OF OTHER INDIFFERENCE'S, WE ARE CONNECTED. THIS CONNECTION IS UNIVERSAL AND CROSSES EVERY LINE THAT IS DRAWN IN FRONT OF US.  WE ARE SISTER'S IN THE SORORITY OF WOMANHOOD.   

IT HAS BEEN STATED THAT WOMEN ARE NOT CAPABLE OF MAINTAINING STRONG BONDS WITH OTHER WOMEN.  THAT OUR EGO'S MAKE AND BREAK THE RELATIONSHIPS THAT WE COULD HAVE WITH ONE ANOTHER.  MANY SAY THAT WOMEN ARE OFTEN TIMES CONSUMED BY JEALOUSY.  ALL OF THESE MAY HOLD TRUE IN SOME FORM BUT WE ARE MUCH GREATER THAN THAT.  ALTHOUGH OUR ATTITUDES AND CHARACTERS ARE DIFFERENT, OUR GOD GAVE US A NUMBER OF IDENTICAL GIFTS.   HE DESIGNED US TO BE EMOTIONAL, TO BE NURTURE'S AND TO BE STRONG!!!   NO MATTER WHAT BAD HABITS OR INTENTIONS WE MAY HAVE, THESE ARE THINGS THAT WE ALL POSSESS.  

THE JOB OF A WOMAN IS DIFFICULT AND IT IS NEVER DONE. WE HAVE TO WEAR SEVERAL HATS, ALL AT ONE TIME.  WE ARE THE MOTHER'S THAT GIVE BIRTH TO A NATION.  ALTHOUGH WE ALL ARE NOT BIOLOGICAL MOTHER'S WE ARE ALL EQUIPPED WITH THE SAME GIFTS IT TAKES TO BE A MOTHER.  WE ARE THE NURTURE'S OF ALL WHO SURROUND US.  WE ARE FILLED WITH  MORE EMOTION THAN ONE COULD COMPREHEND.  IN SPITE OF ALL THAT WOMAN ARE,  IN SPITE OF ALL THAT WE ENDURE, WE MUCH SUSTAIN OUR STRENGTH BECAUSE WHEN EVERYTHING IS SAID AND DONE WE HAVE TO PULL IT ALL TOGETHER. THE WORLD LEANS ON THE STRENGTH OF WOMEN.  ALL THE GREATNESS THAT WE CONTAIN IS FROM GOD AND HE INSTILLED IT IN US SO THAT WE COULD PASS IT ON.  WOMEN ARE CREATED BY GOD WITH GREAT PURPOSE. 

 WE ARE DAMAGED BY THE HIGHS AND LOWS OF LIFE, THINGS LIKE INFIDELITY, MOLESTATION, ABUSE AND THE LOSE OF LOVED ONES.  HOWEVER, IN SPITE OF ALL THIS WE REMAIN!!!  WE ARE FILLED WITH PRIDE AND KNOWLEDGE THAT HAS BEEN PASSED DOWN FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION. WE HAVE BEEN FLOODED WITH LIFE'S TROUBLES BUT WE REFUSE TO DROWN.  WHY, BECAUSE WE KNOW THE GOODNESS OF GOD.  WE KNOW THAT THERE ARE SO MANY WHO DEPEND ON OUR STRENGTH.  YES WE HAVE BEEN VICTIMIZE BUT WE REFUSE TO OWN THAT BECAUSE WE ARE GREATER THAN THE ACTIONS AGAINST US.  WE EXPOSE OUR AGGRESSOR'S BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT THE SHAME LIES IN THEIR ACTIONS, NOT IN OUR EXISTENCE.  

SISTERS, THE NEXT TIME YOU FROWN ON YOUR FELLOW WOMAN BECAUSE OF YOUR DIFFERENCES, THINK ABOUT ALL THAT YOU HAVE IN COMMON.  THINK ABOUT THE STRUGGLES THAT YOU GO THROUGH ON A DAILY BASIS.  CONSIDER HOW YOU WOULD FEEL IF YOU FOUND YOURSELF IN THE SAME SITUATION.  REMEMBER THAT IN SPITE OF OUR DIFFERENCES.................  WE ARE SISTERS

LITTLE DRUMMER BOY

People may not believe this but the "Little Drummer Boy" is my favorite christian song.  It is such a testament of our lives and what Jesus is and/or should be to us. Whenever I feel down on myself, this is my go to song.  It tell No matter how much money we have or what our worldly possessions are, they will never exceed His greatness.  He accepts us as we are regardless to how rich or poor we are.  He loves all of us the same,all he wants from us is our best!!!  I have never heard this song and not had the same reaction............  I am always brought to tears.  I think that I cry because I know that in spite of all of my flaws and imperfections, He still loves and accepts me.  I acknowledge the fact that I am a work in progress, I am not perfect and everyday is a struggle.  However, He loves me no less than he does a 30 year christian.  God is not asking for smoke and mirrors, he wants us to come to Him naked.  Stripped of all the worldly possessions, He only wants you...........  I know that many of us say that real friends will love and accept you regardless and this may be true.  But who do you know will love you like Him?  Who will take you at your weakest, love you and build you up to what you know you are capable of?  Who will keep you covered when you feel the world is against you?  Man (mama, daddy...........) is subject to leave you but He never will!!!


ALL HE WANTS IS YOUR BEST...... YOUR BEST MAY NOT BE AS GREAT AS THE NEXT PERSON'S BEST BUT IT PLEASES HIM!!!  GOD DOESN'T EXPECT ANYTHING FROM US THAT HE KNOWS YOU CAN'T PRODUCE, ALL HE WANTS IS YOUR BEST!!!!

WHITNEY HOUSTON & BOBBI KRISTINA- LITTLE DRUMMER BOY(VIDEO)

THIS SKIN I AM IN!!

I AM MORE THAN COMFORTABLE IN THE SKIN THAT I AM IN!!!  I DON'T THINK THAT I AM PERFECT BUT WHATEVER I AM I LOVE IT!!! I DON'T HAVE ONE INSECURE BONE IN MY BODY.  WHEN I STEP OUT I KNOW THAT I AM JUST AS AMAZING AND DESIRABLE AS THE NEXT WOMAN.  I AM BOLD AND BAD ENOUGH TO STEP OUT ASIDE JANET JACKSON AND HALLE BERRY AND NOT FEEL THE NONE THE LESS.  IT IS SAD THAT SOCIETY HAS PLACED ALL OF THESE STEREOTYPES ON US BASED ON PHYSICAL FEATURES AND OTHER IRRELEVANT THINGS.  ALL ATTRACTIVE PEOPLE ARE NOT DUMB AND/OR ARROGANT.  ALL FAT PEOPLE DON'T SUFFER FROM LOW SELF ESTEEM.  EVERY PERSON WITH A NICE BODY ARE SEX OBJECTS OR SNOBBY.  WE HAVE TO LEARN THAT WE ARE NOT REQUIRED TO CONFORM TO ANY OF THE TAGS THAT SOCIETY PLACES ON US.   I MEAN REALLY, WE ARE ALL DIFFERENT ANYWAY!!!   


YOU HAVE TO LEARN TO EMBRACE THE FACTS OF YOUR EXISTENCE NO MATTER WHAT THEY ARE.  ONCE YOU ARE IN TUNE WITH WHO YOU ARE, NO ONE CAN USE IT AGAINST YOU.  I AM A PLUS SIZED WOMAN AND I HAVE BEEN FOR YEARS, AND IT DOESN'T MAKE ME FEEL LIKE ANY LESS OF A WOMAN.  I AM CONFIDENT IN WHO I AM AND WHAT I AM CAPABLE OF.  I KNOW THAT MY PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES ARE BUT A SMALL PIECE OF WHO I AM.  I HAVE BEEN TEASES AND TALKED ABOUT BUT MY FEELINGS HAVE NEVER BEEN HURT BY ANYTHING THAT WAS TRUE.  I HAVE BEEN CALLED FAT.......... I HAVE BEEN CALLED A BITCH...........  AND MY REPLY TO BOTH ARE YEAH, AND!!!  I KNOW THAT I AM OVER WEIGHT, I AM THE PERSON THAT PURCHASES THOSE SIZE 22 CLOTHES.  I KNOW THAT I CAN BE A LITTLE BITCHY AT TIMES, DEAL WITH IT OR KICK ROCKS!!!!  NO MATTER WHAT A PERSON THINKS OF ME, I HOLD MYSELF IN HIGH REGARD.  


SO MANY TIMES PEOPLE ALLOW THEMSELVES TO BE HURT BY THE THINGS THAT OTHERS SAY.   ONE REASON IS THEY HAVEN'T COME TO TERMS WITH THEMSELVES. TWO, BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT HAPPY WITH THEMSELVES.  WE HAVE TO LEARN TO LOVE OURSELVES SO THAT OUR CHILDREN CAN INHERIT THE SAME SELF LOVE.  MANY TIME PARENTS (ESPECIALLY MOTHER'S) PASS ON SELF ESTEEM ISSUES TO THEIR CHILDREN.  OUR CHILDREN WATCH AND MIMIC MANY OF OUR ACTIONS AND BEFORE YOU KNOW IT YOUR CHILD IS IN THE SAME RUT YOU ARE IN.  I TALK TO MY KIDS ALL THE TIME ABOUT HOW THEY FEEL ABOUT THEMSELVES.  I LET THEM KNOW THAT NO ONE IS PERFECT AND THAT THEY NEED TO LOVE THEIR INNER AND THEIR OUTER IS JUST A SHELL.  I TELL THEM THAT WE ARE LIKE CELL PHONES........... IT CAN WORK GOOD HAVE ALL THE RIGHT FEATURES AND APPS BUT THE SCREEN IS CRACK OR SCRATCHED.  THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT THE CELLPHONE ISN'T ANY GOOD..........  I HAVE A SON WHO IS MORE INTELLIGENT THAN MANY ADULTS.  HE IS VERY HANDSOME BUT HE IS A BIG MAN SIZED BOY, AND HE HAS LITTLE MAN BOOBS.  THE KIDS PICK ON HIM AND SAY THINGS ALL THE TIME BUT YOU KNOW WHAT HE SAY..... "MAMA I DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT CAUSE ONE DAY I AM GONNA BE RICH AND THEY WILL BE SOME WHERE WISHING THEY WERE"!!!  YOU HAVE TO TEACH CHILDREN TO BE INDEPENDENT INDIVIDUALS, LET THEM KNOW THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH GOING AGAINST THE GRAIN.  VARIETY IS THE SPICE OF LIFE, AND THERE IS NOTHING HAPPENING IN THAT BOX, SO GET OUT OF IT!!!!  

WHO CARES WHAT OTHERS FEEL ABOUT YOU!!! IF YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE GREAT TO HELL WITH YOUR DRESS SIZE, YOUR COCKED EYES OR YOU BIG NOSE.  THE DETAILS OF YOUR EXISTENCE WILL NOT CHANGE AND IF THEY DO YOU WON'T BE YOU ANYMORE.  THE PEOPLE WHO DON'T APPROVE OF YOU, MY APPROVE OF A DIFFERENT YOU.  HOWEVER, THERE WILL BE A ENTIRELY NEW GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS THAT FIND FLAWS IN THE NEW YOU.  SO UNLESS YOU ARE OCTOMUS PRIME(OR ONE OF THE OTHER TRANSFORMERS) OR PLAN TO CONSTANTLY REINVENT YOURSELF, GET COMFORTABLE IN THE SKIN THAT YOU ARE IN!!!!!!!!!
