Broken China

Young women today are turning away from the traditional form of femininity and embracing a more aggressive culture.  As a result we are witnessing a growing trend in the bad behavior of young women in the form of physical aggression.

If you Google “girl fight” you will find very graphic videos of young women fist fighting, often over a boy.  The images are disturbing and even worse; fights are cheered on by ADULTS as well as friends.  On most occasions the girls are arrested and charged with disorderly conduct, but little is being done to resolve the issue.  It is a growing problem and is quickly escalating.  Although there are no real statistics as yet, experts say:

80 percent of school fights are female on female violence, a trend fueled by the internet.
Videos on female violence can lead to cyber bullying as a way to torment one another
The posting of violent female videos can somehow bring notoriety or fame

An interview by Psychologists Jennifer Hartstein on “The Early Show” said, “Boys always fought physically.  Girls fought with social aggression, with slander and making rumors and all that stuff, and now it’s going this extra step.  And girls are mean and they fight dirty.  It’s hard to watch”.

How can we reach this generation of young women and say to them, like broken china you are too valuable to discard.  Although broken, you still have beauty and value because you are created in the image of God.  And God can restore the broken pieces of your life in to a thing of mosaic beauty.

I’m not sure if holding conferences for girls is the way to go, but it can’t hurt.  I’m just not sold on the idea.  I tend to believe it is the one on one and small intimate gatherings, which allow girls to speak freely and ask questions.  It is taking a young girl or a group of girls from your community/church out to lunch, spending time with them and sharing the love of Jesus.  It’s inviting girl's over to bake cookies or going to the movies.  Do simple things, it speaks volume. It doesn't need to be a major event. To me it is as simple as Jesus feeding the multitude, a fish and loaf of bread, (Mark 6:31-44). Be committed and if you promise something follow through.  Don’t make lame excuses.  More importantly, BE REAL.  This generation of young women is savvy.  They can recognize a phony when they see or hear one.  And one more thing, please pray for our young women.  Should you see a young woman while going about your daily activities ask the Holy Spirit to touch and restore her.

What Happen To Your Rulership?

My desire is for women to be restored to their rightful place of rulership of Grace, Femininity, Beauty, Temperance, and Excellence.  Together they work from within and shine outwardly. The enemy of our soul works counterclockwise in that he uses the exterior and destroys what is on the inside. There is a direct correlation between rulership and judgment.  In order to effectively rule, there must be the practice of sound judgment.  When rulership is void of sound judgment, a poor rulership is inevitable.  Rulership is a choice.  You can either rule or be ruled.  Walking in rulership is important because it sets order and establishes boundaries.  God (YAH) has given us rulership over our conduct, appearance, and speech.  These things have rulership over you by choice. Rulership is the difference between YAH's people and the world. Rulership is living the way YAH (God) intended for us to live before the foundation of the world. It is time ...

Umbrella Lady

I have always admired this picture...the elegant lady with the umbrella...It reminds me of an expression my friend often says, " My Umbrella Has Holes ".  She was speaking of her life and some of the things she had experienced.  When I look at this picture I see my friend, an umbrella with out holes, happy, stately and strong. Do you ever feel like your umbrella has holes?  Life can sure make it feel that way at times.  Perhaps you are a single mother raising children on your own; or a college graduate having difficulty securing a job in your field. You may be a teenager feeling like you don't quite fit in. Maybe you are a victim of rape or incest and you feel so violated that you wonder if you will ever regain your life back. Perhaps you are sadden over a  loss of a job,or dealing with a sickness that have you asking, " Why Me ". These are certainly," My   umbrella has holes moments ". Although we may have our umbrella has holes moments/sea...

Feed My Sheep

Jesus Reinstates Peter John 21:15-20 New International Version (NIV) When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.” Jesus said,  “Feed my lambs.” Again Jesus said,  “Simon son of John, do you love me?” He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” Jesus said,  “Take care of my sheep.” The third time he said to him,  “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time,  “Do you love me?”  He said, “Lord, you know all things;  you know that I love you.” Jesus said,  “Feed my sheep.     Very truly I tell you, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.”   Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death ...
