Mmmmmm...know who and whose u r and armour up💪♡ #proudlyme #armouredup #identity

With all the hate crimes and simple mistreating directed towards black people, it's of importance to remind my conscious and unconscious brothers and sisters that we're at war. We've always been, and it's best to mentally and spiritually arm ourselves (arming ourselves physically will do more harm than good). We are a race constantly under fire, constantly trying to be tweaked and changed here and there and yes even our own people have joined the forces of being oppressors. I've read many posts of President Barack Obama being persecuted of his leading style, not because of the man he is or how he was raised, but simply 'cause he's black! Don't get me started on people who are so insecure with themselves that they tell our African and chocolate skinned brothers and sisters that they won't get anywhere with their "dirty" skin. They state that the lighter you are the lovelier and more desirable you are. As a mocha caramel young lady, I totally believe "the darker the berry the sweeter the juice"! Black on black hate is the most disgusting of all and needs to come to an end. It shouldn't matter whether an African sister wants to keep her hair up in her afro, relaxed and falling to her shoulders, in her locks or even rocking a blonde weave. You should love her regardless and remind her she's beautiful with or without the added "preservatives". Young black kids should be taught about the gruesome past but not to a point where racism is a never ending cycle! With all the segregations STILL happening in schools etc between race, no wonder black kids grow up feeling inferior to other races. Blacks are often frowned upon and if you're blessed with funds to do what your white counterparts are doing then you MUST be doing it illegally, there's no way you're affording that lifestyle with hard earned or legally invested money. Black child it's possible! Things might not be handed to you as easily as your white counterparts but hard work actually won't kill u! Black parents educate ur children. Leaving it to their school alone won't help. Get them extra classes, help them get mentors so that when they are done, they have someone to properly assist and back them in the real world. Black men don't look down on your beautiful African Queens and lovely queens don't mistreat and frown upon your black brothers for choosing a white/other race to you (this always happens). To each his own and you should be strong enough to not take it personal or illtreat another woman, simply because her husband/boyfriend loves her and not you! Black lives DO matter and in a world where everyone is trying to be black, from getting bum and lip implants to trying to look "ethnic", even the way people speak, act, dance. And even with the likes of Rachel Dolezal completely believing she's black, black child know that you ARE loved. Your envied and disliked but ARE loved. Black child it's possible! Black child you CAN achieve it all. Arm yourself and complete the race u were born to run! Yours sincerely, a consciously unconscious sister unconsciously becoming conscious.

Was a bit hesitant to write this but anyway... So many ppl r broken. Chasing a never ending high, whether it be through drugs and alcohol, or dating (like serial dating, moving from stranger to strangest), chasing that happiness which soon fades into nothingness, leaving you regretting the decisions you took when you weren't in your right mind, all in the name of you not wanting to face reality. There's a void that everyone gets sooner or later in their lives, from a death of someone close or a relationship that's ending, or even goals or dreams that have all of a sudden become unreachable/attainable, leaving you feeling stuck, alone and not worthy. And now I don't mean to preach (but I'll do it anyway), there's a God who loves you, cares for you and actually died for you. He thought and still thinks you're worth it, literally to die for! (John 3:16 NIV "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life"). That void isn't deep, wide or high enough to shut Him out. It's the perfect God size and He's waiting (like the gentleman He is) for you to ask Him into your life. I thought I love my son (and I reeeeaaaallly do), but what I share with Jesus is never ending, it's infinite and awesome. It's love, true love. The lovely love I've been searching, hoping and even praying for. He gives that peace and love I need when my son is "acting a fool"! The love to love those I love (if that makes any sense). Now don't get me wrong, I am still awaiting my better half with arms wide open, but there's no sense of great urgency, as if I'll die/live unhappily if I'm "alone". Anyway thought I'd share of this love instead of being my usual selfish self, 'cause a man/woman will never completely fill that void (trust me). To be happy in a relationship you'll need to be "whole". Two broken people don't make each other whole, you need two whole people, people who know themselves amd what they stand for, to be able to make the "team" work. Now who best to make you whole again than our creater and of love itself...ahhhhhh love♡ Yours sincerely, A young lady discovering a totally new love that's been in front of her all along. Totally loving her King, her saviour and Lord. #love #lovelylove #whensvalentinesday #randompost #selfdiscovery #journeywithJesus

'Tis the season to be snuggly...or not! It's that time of the year when you just want to snuggle and keep warm either with a teddy i.e you're single and don't actually have a choice, or with that certain someone, hopefully your spouse (no not boy/girlfriend, your wedded wife/husband!). Let's face it, the norm in this day and age is that by the time you get to tertiary level or when you hit your 20's you have "explored" the opposite sex in ways your mother would certainly NOT approve. Whether it be holding hands, kissing or eating of the forbidden fruit. Most have either heard spicy stories of how their friends have nibbled in this forbidden territory, or are curious themselves to be part of the "cool" crew telling these stories. As one who has bit off too much to chew, a rebel seeking "spiritual asylum", I am here to testify to you it aint worth it homie! True love waits. True love loves without the physical, (read 1Corinthians 13 for more on love). I reckon the physical comes as a bonus in marriage as a "well done, you truly have endured and held back for a time such as this". One can have a perfectly great and normal relationship without the physical having to take place. It might sound as taboo now, but young person (or old) take the challenge, take the risk, I triple dare you to hold back, lean back if you must, from the temptations that might lead to weeks, months or even years of regret. Leaving you with the memory of a child that had to be aborted, a disease/infection you are hiding from us all or even a baby you don't truly love or care for, simply because you didn't wait for the right man/woman to make you a parent at a time that was best for you and your boo. As 1 Corinthians 10:23 AMP version says: "All things are legitimate [permissible–and we are free to do anything we please], but not all things are helpful (expedient, profitable, and wholesome). All things are legitimate, but not all things are constructive [to character] and edifying [to spiritual life]." It's self explanatory right? Ladies and gents before you head to the bedroom or wherever u see fit for your hanky panky business this cold cold winter, think twice! A moment between the sheets could lead to a life time of "what if we waited". I probably sound like a dried out old mom, but let us remember, "do not do in winter what you will regret in spring". From yours truly, An annoyed 20something year old single mom who's tired of hearing young 1s talking about BMW (baby making weather).

My face when I c u coming my direction but don't wanna have the "how's life been..what are you doing" conversation...#dontjudge #thisisme
