Dedicated to my sisters from another mother

        I have come to a conclusion that women hurt other women. Sometimes it's intentional, vengeful, hateful, unkind and jealous. Sometimes it's without intention, accidental, unknowingly and yet it still wounds. So I am here in a world where the enemy uses us to either intentionally or not to hurt to hurt each other, to say something good, something loving, hopefully life bringing and healing. 
       There is so much beauty to be had when you love yourself with all it's flaws. People see the truth of you and love you for it. If you haven't found it yet, I promise you it's out there. You go looking for good you will find it, God will provide positive nurturing women in your life. Be bravely scared to ask Him. Knock and He will open. 
     For all the times you hated yourself because that old tape of lies plays in your head I'm here to say the following; (inspired by a great poem from Maya Angelou: Phenomenal Woman) 

If you have never felt like "pretty women wonder where my secret lies", I'm here to tell you that's it's in you. Beauty is in you!!!! Not the girl next you, not the person behind you or in front of you but YOU! I could insert a mess of women's name in there that I personally know but I will leave you to insert yourself. 
     If you have never felt like you have "an inner mystery" I am telling you do!! You aren't ugly, you aren't stupid, you aren't a waste of time, you mam are a PHENOMENAL WOMAN! You are worth honor, respect and time! I don't care if you aren't educated, unemployed, 25 pounds too heavy or too light, or bald, or missing teeth, YOU  are the crowning of God's creation. He made woman and then said it was good, He rested. So rest in His truth not the lies you've eaten. When someone compliments you say "thank you" and chew on that truth, masticate it like a cow, chew that mess up, regurgitate and chew it again until it becomes the truth for you. Let women who are comfortable in themselves love you. Let them hold your hand and walk with you towards healing truth.

    If your head has been bowed I am here to remind you God is the lifter of your head!! Let Him lift you!
