Female Warriors


“The greatest explorer on this earth never takes voyages as long as those of the man who                    descends to the depth of his heart.”  ~Julien Green
We all have stories.  We all have scars on our heart from experiences that brought us pain, as well as beautiful, red plump areas from intense joy and happiness.  In this respect, we are all on the same page.  But some of us are brave enough to go deep into the valley of our heart – the dark, sometimes distorted, areas of the journey of life.
My bravery comes from taking the journey with a group of women who have become sisters.  We all share the same Daddy.  We all share a passion to be what our Daddy created in His image.  And we all share love. God is love.  We hold nothing more sacred in our group than that love.
Now, we are becoming warriors.
You might be baffled with my statement and it just might seem silly to you that a group of women could become warriors – after all, aren’t groups of women typically emotional and involve coffee?  Sometimes.  But sometimes women are brought together to fight in a battle that is much larger than the crowds at the mall in December.  Sometimes, women are asked to fight in the epic battle of good vs. evil.  Sometimes, women are asked to fight against whispers of hate from the enemy robbing them of peace, robbing them of acceptance…robbing them of God’s best.
My platoon is in training; becoming equipped with truth and honest reflection of what has been and what could be with understanding.  My sojourners are gorgeous.  Each one of them carries a flame that has been lit and a perseverance that is contagious.
I cannot imagine crossing enemy lines without my sisters.
“Strength and Honor!”

So much for Strength and Honor! And so much for supporting other women. So much for acting like a Christian woman. You're such a hypocrite! I didn't know that a christian woman could be so selfish and be a mistress to a married man? Is that what you pray for everyday, to ruin the lives of 3 kids and their mother. Our mother that spoke to you to when she found out you were cheating with her husband. That didn't seem to affect you but you let the devil tell you lies and more lies and you still decided to break into their family. Now you flaunt it in front of us kids and our mother online and they are not even divorced yet. You come into our home and want us to be your friend. You are supporting lies and causing pain and suffering and you don't even care. I hope it all comes crashing down on you, because it will. We do not support you. We do not support this. 2020 is hell enough and you added more fuel to the fire and I hope your daughter knows the truth. You can stop this and do the right thing. But you won't because are selfish and cruel.
