I just wanted to take some serious time and thank all the men in my life for bringing out the best woman in me for the Man in my life. I know it's a hard thing to say/ realize but it's a good thing really. All the b.s. (disrespect, lack of balls, marriage proposal, etc.) just made me that much more aware and that much more enlightened. I am so thankful for the trials of life because they truly make me a better person in the end. Although while you go through trials they seem like they are there to break you down, in the end, they just make you see that all things do work out for good!
Unless your name is - Juanita Bynum. Yeah, he was wrong for beating the FYRE out of you in that parking lot. And he was wrong for saying that you needed to sit down and shut up. I ain't hating sister that you threatened him with that brick. Sometimes the crazy comes out.
BUT there are just somethings that don't seem right about this whole situation. For instance, this is her second abusive relationship... fool me once...This is when you pray and ask God to remove from YOU the desire for a man that is going to beat that butt (<----yeah I had to clean it up a bit).
But other questionable things just kinda have me like "huh?". Like asking for $200,000 for a threshing floor (If you can't see it, you tube it):
([Isaiah 21: 9 And, behold, here cometh a chariot of men, with a couple of horsemen. And he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods he hath broken unto the ground.
10 O my threshing, and the corn of my floor: that which I have heard of the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, have I declared unto you.] - This is the only place I could find it)
Now does this really make any sense for her to ask for this? Come on. This woman paid $5,000 for a pen because she's "worth it." $5,000 for a pen? Please. Pay off my debt with that $5,000. Please AMERICA donate to the "I need to publish a book for the uplifting of women yet don't have the money to cover the fees - donate so God can bless you" fund. No, not really, but if you want too...
Now I gotta admit, "No More Sheets" was on point. Amen, amen.
If you really think that selling your story to every news station and magazine is helping women, it's not. It's just giving us a face - kick to the emotional hope that we have as women seeking stability. I wish I could sell my story about the men that hurt my heart. That way I can buy my bling too. Get my shine on.
This whole situation makes me think of the song by, of course, Parliament called "Handcuffs." Google it.
I am not one to get mixed up in peoples' relationships (1. I don't have the time and 2. It can be a sloppy mess). however, if you are in an abusive relationship, know that that is not your place as a woman (Proverbs 31), as a person, or as a child of God. There is not enough love in the world that would make a man put his hands on you or consistently speak in a condescending manner towards you. There are not enough words to express how I loathe the action of a man putting his hands on a woman for any other reason than to restrain her from hurting herself, her children, or endangering his life. This is the true "hold my piece and let the Lord fight my battle" moment or a "Be angry and do not sin" moment.
I'm just saying. I'm not knocking her walk with God, I know not what she does in her closet and I don't keep up with what she does too much in public. I know "Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm." Listen, God's anointed are not just those people on the TV. AND rebuke for the kingdom is proper. AND I want to hear her prophecy. Thank YOU kindly.
And let's take a moment to mourn the loss of my nose ring in a face-washing accident. ~Ohm~
