Summer

2010-06-21T11:46:00.000-07:00

Summer is the warmest of the four temperate seasons, between spring and autumn. It is marked by the longest days and shortest nights. The Summer solstice is on 21st June, which is the longest day in the year. The summer months, tend to be last June, July, August and September. The colours of summer are lush greens, vibrant blues, pink, golds, red, very colourful, because of the weather being warm, people take advantage of the weather, by going out more, more daytime activity.

The midnight sun is a natural phenomenon occurring in summer months at latitudes north and nearby to the south of the Arctic Circle, and south and nearby to the north of the Antarctic Circle where the sun remains visible at the local midnight. Given fair weather, the sun is visible for a continuous 24 hours, mostly north of the Arctic Circle and south of the Antarctic Circle. The number of days per year with potential midnight sun increases the farther poleward one goes.

There are no permanent human settlements south of the Antarctic Circle, so the countries and territories whose populations experience it are limited to the ones crossed by the Arctic Circle, e.g.. Canada, United States of America (Alaska), Denmark (Greenland), Norway, Sweden, Finland, Russia, and extremities of Iceland. A quarter of Finland's territory lies north of the Arctic Circle and at the country's northernmost point the sun does not set for 73 days during summer. In Svalbard, Norway, the northernmost inhabited region of Europe, there is no sunset from approximately 19 April to 23 August. The extreme sites are the poles where the sun can be continuously visible for a half year.

Because of the sun we have more activity, people tend to be much happier. Summer reminds of the long school holidays, more people who live in the city, either leave the country or go on the annual 'summer holidays'.

Generally it is a fun time for people.

Genesis 8:22

While the earth remains, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

From this we know that Elohim created the seasons.

Ecclesiastes 3:11

He has made every thing beautiful in his time: also he has set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God makes from the beginning to the end.

The seasons are God's reason for everything to be put its place and order. Everything is done in a particular time or season. Seasons and time effect plant life, God has made every plant according habitat and climate, some plants need heat to grow and thrive, others need cooler temperatures, while some are perfectly happy in cold climate and can withstand frost and ice.

If we look at the beginning of Genesis 1:5

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

In verse 2 where the earth was without form and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep, in other words the earth was in chaos, so Elohim brought order to chaos and when we read in later verses, he created the various elements, day, night, the universe, the seasons, the forests, plantation, then he created man. The garden was created and he put man in it.

The same way Elohim likes order, it is the same way we should copy his example, everything he has put in creation for us to observe and take note.

Proverbs 30:24 -28

There be four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise:
The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer;
The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks;
The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;
The spider take hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces.

This shows organisation and the Divine order of things. We can learn a lot for each of the seasons, but we must be open to get knowledge and wisdom and in all our getting we must get understanding.

Spring

2010-04-08T07:59:00.000-07:00

Spring is the time of year for renewal, rebirth, it is a transit between between winter and summer. The earth's tilt relative towards the sun. The spring days are close to 12 hours long, with the day length increasing as the season progresses.

In Northern Hempshire countries, the spring months are from March, April and May. Around the 20th March, begins the Spring Equinox, even though many times, it does not feel so, because we have the light, but it is still so bitterly cold.

Spring is seen as a time of growth, renewal of new life, both animal and plant and reborn. It is of great significance that in the Judo/Christian calender, it is Passover, Palm Sunday, Good Friday, Resurrection Sunday (Easter).

Jesus became our Passover Lamb, on Palm Sunday, he entered into Jerusalem as a King, on Good Friday, he was executed as a common criminal. He was humilated for us, he was executed naked. Crucifixion was a very common way of execution. The most famous passages in the bible, is from John 3:16

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotton son, that whosoever believe in him, shall not perish, shall not perish.

He was whipped, he was beaten, And his stripes we are healed. He took on all our sins, so that when he went up to heaven, and his precious blood was put on the mercy seat. At the time of his death, when he said "It is finished", he gave up the ghost and he died. The veil in the Holy of Holies was 3 inches thick was torn down from top to bottom.

Before Jesus's Christ ultimate sacrifice, you could not speak to God, like that. You have to get a priest and you had to get your animal to be sacrificed. After Jesus's death and resurrection on third day (two days after his crucifixion).

You can speak to God anytime, any day, you speak his words, about any situation, you mediate on his words and you will get relevation.

In the midst of your turmolt, you do hear the still small voice.

From my own experience, each time I fast, I always experience toothache. My tooth was annoying me and the week before, we had a miracle and healing service, my tooth was fine, on Easter Sunday, when I went home, my tooth started to annoy me, but the time I got home, it got worse. The pain was unbearable, my muscles was thickening. I took painkillers, washed my mouth out with salt water, and the pain persisted. I kept saying "Lord, your word says By your stripes, I am healed" and the more you are saying your words and more the pain is getting stronger, but I heard a small voice tell me, take a little bit of disinfectant, add some salt and wash your mouth out, the voice even told me where I would find the disinfectant, I did exactly as I was told and I started to get some relief. Then I went downstairs, and took some alcohol, nearly 100%, added water and washed out my mouth, with the few drops of disinfectant, the pain started to decrease, then I put a few drops of Tea Tree oil, which is a another disinfectant, washed my mouth, making sure I did not swallow. I did that for a few days and now the pain and the infection has gone, although I will be still washing out my mouth, and getting work done on my teeth, even though I am eating on the one side, it is much, much, much better, before every time your food, accidentally, went near your infected tooth. You cried from the pain.

I am a testimony, speaking his words, in the midst of the storm and torment, you have to listen to the still small voice and sometimes, because we are so wrapped up in our pain, it is sometimes very difficult to you.

Bless the Lord Oh my soul and all that is within me. Daily shall he be praised, Glory to highest and he shall be praised, until he comes to earth or he take me home!

I hope that everyone had a Happy Easter and the year is turning out to wonderful every day.

Valentine's Day

2010-02-14T12:01:00.000-08:00

February 14th is Valentine's Day. It is a day for love, lovers, romance, roses, chocolates. I have noticed that soon after Christmas in over. In January, the Valentine's cards are available. One can argue that it is very commercial, but looking at Valentine's day closely.

The first representation of Saint Valentine appeared in the Nuremberg Chronicle, (1493); alongside the woodcut portrait of Valentine the text states that he was a Roman priest martyred during the reign of Claudius II, known as Claudius Gothicus. He was arrested and imprisoned upon being caught marrying Christian couples and otherwise aiding Christians who were at the time being persecuted by Claudius in Rome. Helping Christians at this time was considered a crime. Claudius took a liking to this prisoner -- until Valentinus tried to convert the Emperor -- whereupon this priest was condemned to death. He was beaten with clubs and stoned; when that didn't finish him, he was beheaded outside the Flaminian Gate. Various dates are given for the martyrdom or martyrdoms: 269, 270, or 273.

The ultimate romantic is Elohim, and who santified marriage and created love and sex to be within the marriage bed. The first marriage was between Adam and Eve. If one reads the Songs of Songs or the Song of Soloman, it is very romantic and it shows the love of a married couple. It is very beautiful, very moving and very touching.

There is nothing wrong with celebrating St Valentine's Day, with the chocolates, flowers or the trip to Paris or a romantic dinner for two, but romance should be in the marriage all the time, not just on February 14th. Husband and wife should have a date night together. Marriage should be for life, and it requires a lot of work, but a lot of enjoyable work. Marriage can be made in heaven.

Happy Valentine's Day

Autumn

2009-11-02T06:30:00.000-08:00

Autumn (Fall) is a wonderful time of year. I love to look at how all the colours of the trees and the sky. How the light changes so suddenly, it is so dramatic. Each season has its own particular magic. Spring is newness and freshness, summer is brightness, hot days and nights, autumn (fall) time of abundance, fullness, harvest and winter stillness, crisp morning and the winter days what I find so wonderful, is when it is very bright, the sun is shinning and it is cold.

Even the fashion for this season autumn (fall) and winter are bright blues, reds, purple.

The first three pictures, I took and the others I found them on the web, pictures of autumn taken by other people recently.

I haven't written much, because I was going through a very difficult time in my personal life. My father was being very difficult and two women at church, let me call them Jane and Rochelle, I found them to be very deceptive and deceitful.

My father is elderly and he is disabled and yet he feels he must humiliate me. I found that many family members know how he behaves and yet they would not give me any support.

Anyway, I decided to sow a double tithe, and I talked to God to deal with this problem for me.

The support planner came, my father didn't tell me anything about him, he talked with my father about attending church and my father called me to talk to him and I asked him find out the different department that could help my father, my father said quickly, he doesn't need help and I told the planner I need all the help, he agreed and he gave me his telephone number. My cousin and I went to social services and they are aware of him and his behaviour and they are now writing a report, they are putting a care plan in action for him, even though he is still being difficult, a higher authority has taken over. Everything moved so quickly, clearly God's hand is involved here.

Since I have been going to my church, I have learn to see through my father's lies and mind games and I have been able to distance myself from him.

At church, I met two women who I thought were very nice people. I realise that both are professional Lots, they only want to hang on to you, so that you can get information for them. Jane picked up the fact that I was having a difficult time, and instead of having kind words, she was a gossip and she would accuse me of not recognising her worth, remarks like 'Look how I have spoken into your life', it was good to meet her, but now she is very deceptive.

As for Rochelle, she was always wanted to see me, because I could tell her what scriptures to read. Few weeks ago, I experience her cold attitude towards me like she never knew me, she is very deceitful. God pointed out their behaviour to me.

I was very hurt and I asked God to bless them, but I don't want to see them again in church, if they are there, I asked that I don't see them, sometimes Jane would email me, and I would email her back, but I don't want to have anything to do with her anymore. Both of them, I have cut out of my life.

I realise that I don't need Lots in my life. I have been listening to confessions from our man of God, the cd plays all the time and I used to go to bible class every Wednesday, but the Holy Spirit lead me to 'take a break'. I find that I now get up in the early hours of the morning, do praise and worship. I hear his voice more clearly now, it is a voice of excitement, 'you can do it'. 'Great things can happen for you'. I am now more at peace with myself. So many things are being revealed to me and I am in a good place thanks to Jesus. May the Lord be praised.

Psalm 35:37

Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause yea, let them say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.

Marriage

2009-06-04T23:43:00.001-07:00

We are now in the month of June and traditionally most marriages take place in this month, especially if you live in Europe, America, Canada and Russia, one of the main reasons being that the weather is a lot warmer. Lot of brides want to be June brides. Due to the new covenant, that we have with Jesus the anointed one of God, marriage is available to everyone, if they want to be married. Marriage is not to make to couple whole or complete, or finish each other. Marriage must be sane, level-headed and sensible people.

Before you get married, you must know why you want to get married and do you really want to be married in the first place. Marriage takes a lot of time and lot of work and energy however this work should be enjoyable. Marriage needs passion, romance to keep it exciting. You still need to go out on dates and your marriage bedroom, should be for you and your husband, not your children, or your mother, you best mates to see it, your marriage bed should be for you, your husband or wife and God. Your marriage bedroom is sacred. You should not have a television in your marriage bedroom. Maybe your laptop, if you need to work, and only a radio, nothing else, because you have to concentrate on each other, physically, mentally and spiritually and it is for you to make love to your spouse.

Passion never dies, you should be still be passionate for each other, I would say even more, men who have passion for computers and trains or women for shoes, and makeup, even when they reach eighty years old, never lose their passion, but we expect people to lose their passion for each other, because they age.

A lot of people call for a relationship and when one person shows enthusiasm and wants to spend more time with them, seeing them three or four times, suddenly the other person thinks they need to breathe. Then you need to ask yourself, do you want a relationship which will lead to marriage, or do you want a boyfriend or girlfriend for sex.

When you decide that you want to get married, you need to pray and ask for guidance, have a heart to heart conversation with God, not your pastor, he can't help you, but with God himself, you have to talk to God, you have to go to the throne room and talk to God, you make a list of the characteristics, which are important to you, and pray them in your spouse, by thanking God that my husband is a gentle and kind man, pray characteristics for yourself, 'Thank you God for making me such a loving wife, because too many times, we want this and that in our life partners and what about us.

There are comments that people say that people show not make lists, this is an absolute lie, and complete and utter rubbish, when you go shopping, you have a shopping list in your head, when you go to buy a house, you have the idea of what kind of house, you want. There are features that are most important to you, when you buy a car the same thing. When we travel on plane or train, you travel bound for the destination, it is no good going on a plane bound for South Africa and you want to go to Europe. The plane is going to its specific destination and if children are important to you, be with a man, who wants children, don't be with someone, who doesn't want children and then hope that you will change their mind. Same way with a believer, if he is a non-believer, don't think you can save him, pray for him yes and God will look into his heart, you concentrate on being with someone who is a believer.

Do you have a vision for your life, can you actually see yourself married with children.

Also attend churches where the men and women of God are specified anointed to preach and teach the word of God and ask God to put you in the right church. This is extremely important.

God does not change his method of doing things, he may adapt to the modern world, he may talk to you through the computer, and why shouldn't he, he designed them. He anoints the men and women of God and the anointing goes from the head to the congregation. There are many people, who are in the wrong church, some may be full, because 'pastor preach good', but are they teaching the word of God and how are you using it in your life. Have you seen significant changes since you have been going to the church or Christian centre. If you have not, you need to leave the church fast.

In Malachi 3:10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall be room enough to receive it.

A tithe is the first ten percent of your income. Your tithe looks after the church, the building, the media resources etc, so that you can be an effective ambassador for Christ. When you tithe you are acknowledging El Shaddai - God Almighty as your source of all, he can provide for you, when you tithe, you open yourself to Divine Favour and blessings of all kinds. When you tithe, on your envelope, you should put what you want in your life and get scriptures for it, as you want to be married, you put on the envelope for my successful marriage and let the Holy Ghost teach you how to be a wife, or a husband, some of us learn our bad marriages from our parents, the Holy Ghost is the right person for the job, and he can teach you.

Reading Proverbs 31, Ruth, Esther, Deborah and Judith. Judith, you will find in the Jerusalem Bible. Read Peter, Joseph, he was an excellent husband, Daniel, although he did not get married, he was very wise. Proverbs 3:5, read the chapters concerning Jesus, how he was caring and very wise, look particularly how he treated women, especially prostitutes, in his ministry, he had a lot of ladies, who were members of his congregation.

Those pastors, who say that you must sit and wait on God, that he will send you a wife or a husband. No God does do that, you have to get yourself out there to meet your husband or wife. Ruth had to travel to meet Boaz, Esther had to take part in the beauty competition. After your wife and husband training, you make yourself attractive, lose weight if you need to, you have to be a delight to your husbands or wives eyes. You have to let your husband and wife to be see you in their dreams, you see him, you pray for them, where ever they are and when the time is right, God will bring them to you.

Marriage scriptures

Genesis 2:24, Psalm 128:3, Proverbs 18:22, Proverbs 31:11-12, Song of Solomon (showing how marriage, should be), 1 Corinthians 7:14, Ephesians 5:25, 28, 31. God does not care where your husband comes from as long as you are equally yoked.

Other inspiring women of God, where Abigail, she was wise, of good understanding as the bible refers to her 1 Samuel 25:2-43, The Shunamite woman 2 Kings 8 -37.

Tis the Month of May

2009-05-02T08:11:00.000-07:00

The month of May, being the five month of the year. The number five represents favour. So it is a month of unexpected favour. It seems to be a time, where a lot of celebrations are held. May Day celebration in the United Kingdom is the first Monday in May, or Labour Day in many countries, such as USA, Canada. The symbols of May is the May flower, lily of the valley and the emerald, which means success or love and the rose Rosa chinensis.

The weather so far, has been wonderful, sunny bright and warm.

Prayer for May

Heavenly Father, that you for this wonderful month, full of joy, excitement and expectation. We expect supernatural and divine favour from 1st to 31st of May, we thank you in Jesus Name.

Take your passion and .....run with it, don't stop until you achieve it!

2009-04-27T07:59:00.000-07:00

The dictionary definition of the Passion

1. any powerful or compelling emotion or feeling, as love or hate.

2 .strong amorous feeling or desire; love; ardour.

3. strong sexual desire; lust.

4. an instance or experience of strong love or sexual desire.

5. a person toward whom one feels strong love or sexual desire.

6. a strong or extravagant fondness, enthusiasm, or desire for anything: a passion for music.

7. the object of such a fondness or desire: Accuracy became a passion with him/her.

8. an outburst of strong emotion or feeling: He suddenly broke into a passion of bitter words.

9. violent anger.

10. the state of being acted upon or affected by something external, esp. something alien to one's nature or one's customary behaviour

11. (often initial capital letter) Theology.

a. the sufferings of Jesus Christ on the cross or His sufferings subsequent to the Last Supper.

b. the narrative of Jesus Christ's sufferings as recorded in the Gospels.

12. Archaic. the sufferings of a martyr.

I was rather suprised with the many definitions of the word. It is good to be passionate about something, it makes you feel alive, it gives you hope, however it should not overtake you that , if you become obessessed about your passion. It becomes an Idol. That is why when you doing what you love, call in God to help and bless you with it, so it can glorify his name.

Our God loves creatiion and he loves people to express themselves with his creative gifts, when you both creation, together, you are in a different wave length, the impossible becomes possible, take a man like George Washington Carver, who was an inventor,

The passion I am referring to is the definition in number 6, if a person is passionate about music, or writing, or mathematics, the science of whatever. Most people's passion starts when they are very young, they may write or draw, or do what they love doing for hours at a time, and if it a something, they are talented like drawing, or chess playing, writing, poetry. They should be encouraged, if you always wanted to write or develop a craft or whatever go for it. You have nothing to lose and you are probably bringing out your God given talent.

All talent comes from God and many times, when you start to follow your passion, you find that you release several other hidden talents you didn't know you have. Age has nothing to do with it. Due to circumstances, because you may not have been able to start your talent, when you were a young person, but you have got a chance as an older person, go for it.

The thing with a passion, you have to protect it like an egg and tell only people who really can see you doing something like being a writer, or over the age of 40 going to medical school, or being a doctor, lawyer or interior designer or whatever. As long as you are alive, it is never too late, because you have this passion, you have to hang around with visionaires and dreamers.
Even though they may have a different dream from you, you can encourage each other.

Napoleon Hill talked about having a mastermind group in 'The Science of Personal Achievement'
CS Lewis and JRR Tolkein, were both lecturers at Oxford and would encourage each other when they were writing. CS Lewis was the author of 'The Chronicles of Narnia' and JRR Tolkein the author of books, such as 'The Hobbit, and Lord of the Rings and they both wrote many other books.

God is God all by himselfand yet he has a network of angels. There are the nine choir of angels. Seraphim, Cherubim, Thrones, Dominions, Powers, Virtues, Principalities, Archangels and Angels.

Angels of the north, south, east and west, angels of dawn, midday, evening and midnight, angels of spring, summer, autumn and winter, angels of war, (especially as you are fighting the good fight. When Joshua and the children of Israel fought their enemies, Joshua 10:10 - 14 angels were involved sending down hailstones. and they were involved in the sun not raising and the moon also not raising, hence that was the only time, they got an extra day and that is recorded in history, so it is a fact. God send down his angel in 2 Kings 19:35 and he killed a lot of Ayssyrians, one hundred, fourscore and five thousand. God send an angel to protect the children of Israel, during when they were leaving Egypt. Exodus14: 21-22, Psalm 91:11-12, by the authority of Jesus Christ, you can send them to get your money, or bring the right people to you, protect you and your household from any danger.

Even when there were storms in Kanasis, a man summoured his angels to protect his house and when the wind blow, his house was fine, while the others were badly to extremely damaged. As part of your covenant, you have protection, prosperity, good health, sound mind, peace, have dominion over challenges and restoration.

So there are angels of protection, your own guardian angel, angels of days of the week, months of the year, angels of music, dancing, singing, surgeons, lawyers, doctors, writers, communication, interior designers. birth, death, the home, finance, money, saving, bank accounts, heritance, trust funds, fishing, agriculture, water, earth, wind, fire, sports, determination, artists, painters, party (entertainment), gatherings, woods, trees, rivers, looking after the planet, horticulture, architectures, beautiful treatments, buildings, angel who are look after countries. Archangel Michael protects Israel. Patron saint of England is St George, patron saint of Wales is St David, Scotland is St Andrew and Ireland is St Patrick. Michael and all these men have one thing in common, battling evil. Champions of the right and the good.

God's angels cover every aspect of our lives, he has a whole network of them, Psalm 103: 20, in Acts 8 : 25 - 40, an angel took Philip to the Ethiopian officer in Queen Candace court, Acts 12: 7-8, the angel delivered Peter from prison, Acts 16:25 -26, God sent an angel for Paul and Silas released their chains. In Hebrews 1:13 -14, they are ministering spirits sent to us to help us, as we are heirs of salvation. Estimation of God's angels, very from several billions to a trillions. So he had got an extremely network and extremely is very conserve word. So we can say, God is the ultimate networker.

Even when Jesus lived on earth, he had his 12 twelve disciples, plus there was the inner four, Simon Peter, John, Andrew and James, and there were the 72 disciple, he sent out, plus the ladies, Mary and Martha, the sisters of Lazarus and his mother, Luke 8: 2 -3, they organised the meals, and his apppointments. Jesus's ministry was very well organised. Some of his disciples were married and had families of their own, some were single. Jesus had an accountant, which was Judas, estimation of people who Jesus looked after was at least thousand or more. Peter travelled with his wife, when he was preaching after Jesus ascended to heaven and he built up a network of followers. After Jesus was ressurected, over 500 people saw him and he thought the gospel for a month, before he went to heaven.

Now with Paul, even though he was chained to the Roman solidiers, he converted many of them, they protected him from hostile crowds, because he was a Roman citizen. He spent many times in jail, the jailers, and the prisoners, they converted to Christianity. Lydia, the businesswoman, she was one of his supporters and I'm sure, she also influenced a lot of her customers.

Long hair lovers, long hair care forum, or keep it simple sista, facebook, twitter and the various meet up groups or the national romantic writers association, are examples of forums, network of people who have the same interests, whether it be long hair, growing your hair long, or whether you are communicating on facebook or twitter, emails, blogging, writing romantic fiction, or whatever your interest is. You can talk to each other, swap ideas and keep each other focused, so that you can achieve your goals. So if you have friends or families, who do not share your visions or dreams, you need to be with people who do, if you don't they will kill your dreams, because of their own limiting beliefs. If you want to be successful in anything you do, you must be with successful people who have already achieved success or be with people who want success and they are as hungry as you are.

So networking, meeting up, are all important, if you have a dream, you write it down and you can run with it, until you achieve it.

Spring Fever

2009-03-25T05:40:00.000-07:00

Spring is the season of year, which represents renewal, growth, rebirth, new beginnings, and enterprises, people fall in love. Religious festivals at this time of year such as Mothering Sunday, or Mother's Day, Passover, Ressurection or Easter, Penticost.

There are the familiar sweets available, such as Easter eggs. I have always wondered why in the middle of the New Year, the shops are stocking up with Easter Eggs and each year the eggs seem to be more elaborate.

From church, last Sunday, my daughter and I went out and we saw an Easter egg for £70.00, but of course, it was made from the finest chocolate, organic and it looked very nice and I wondered if I would spend £70.00 on an Easter egg, I don't think so, too much money and I would definitely spend that money on a new handbag or shoes and good luck to the person who does.

One thing, being with God, any time, day, can be your season, so you don't have to wait until March 21st, to be renewed.

Psalm 1:3
And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

Psalm 23:2
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; he leadeth me beside the still waters.

Psalm 92:12 -14
The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God

They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing.

Isaiah 58:11
And the Lord shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones; and thou shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.

So with these promises, we can still make corrects, learn for our mistakes and if we are teachable, be the very best we can and be successful in whatever we put our minds to.

How do we view ourselves?

2009-03-10T13:40:00.000-07:00

In the light of the Chris Brown and Rihanna situation. I decided to write this blog. How do we black woman view ourselves, as royal princesses or ghetto princesses. I have put images of hip hop video princess and princess. I have images of African princesses and fictional princesses from Disney, such as Jasmine, Belle, Cinderella, Aurora, Snow White and Ariel. African American Belle and the new African American princess Tiana and a picture of Rihanna, who was or still is a pop princess. However, she seemed to have lost her crown, on the light of what happened with Chris Brown, and her violent attack.

When I read it first, I could not believe it and the more I read, I was just horrified and the abuse from many black people, I was absolutely shocked how many blogs and forums blamed her for the action. 'She must have done something to him'. Then articles were written that because she beat up her brother when she was younger, it was her fault, she gave him herpes. She deserved it because she is from Barbados and as one young person put it, they don't like the accent. One of my younger cousins visited me and she said that she must have provoked him and I have to put it straight to her. I told her if she came home and someone beat up her mother like that, would she say she deserved it. She reminded very quiet.

Rihanna is six months older than my daughter and I would be horrified if anyone did that to my child. When Rihanna started to date Chris Brown, I had this sinking feeling. There was a English footballer, who beat up his fiancee and the media was so supportive of her, but with Rihanna, there was very little support and this got me thinking. It seems that with polite black educated women, there is a significant amount from the black community want to challenge their blackness.

We don't like graceful beautiful black women. There are elements who want to destroy them, yet we don't have a problem with graceful beautiful women from other races. We want every black women to behave like ghetto or fish market women and when they don't behave like that, we get angry and challenge them. However with black men, we have the whole community fighting for them, whether they be good, bad or indifferent, but where is the fight for black women.

The conclusion, I have come to realise is that only Elohim, who loves us and no-one else and therefore we were the original queens and we must never forget it and we must love ourselves, we were created in the image of Elohim and we must never forget and look for scriptures, such as in Esther and Songs of Solomon. 'I am black and comely', I am fearfully and wonderfully made'.

Remember that we are the apple of God's eye. It does not matter what anyone thinks and long as you follow your God given talent, he can express himself through you.

You ask for guidance and he is there for you. If you are not at a church, or a gathering, go to institutions where are more spiritually based and are followers of the word of God, institutions who teach the bible properly, not institutions where pastor says, tells you rubbish, you must read the bible for yourself and everything, prosperity in all aspects of your life is for you. Whatever nationality your husband is and you choose to marry him and as long as he believes that Jesus Christ died on the cross and he is a good man, he is the man of your dreams, marry him and forgot what the 'so-called community tell you, if they call you a sell out, yes you are a sell-out to Jesus, they are sell-out to Satan.

Accept nothing but the best, because God gave his son and he was the best. If a man cannot treat you like a queen, he is not worthy of you. If he can't buy you flowers or he makes an excuse, it's not his thing. Show him the door, because you are not worthy in your eyes. There are plenty of men, who are willing to adore you and treat you like a queen. They are real men, not other men who are really boys pretending to be men.

The Day the Snow came

2009-02-06T12:03:00.001-08:00

Our Snow started on Sunday 1st February evening, it continued until in was Monday morning. There were no transport running, the buses and the trains were not running. The councils didn't grit the pavements or the main roads and the government said as usual, we don't get this type of snow, however it snowed earlier in January and maybe not as thick, but other parts of the country had a lot of it. So in London, we got it. People didn't go to work, the schools were closed and children, young and old and I am including adults like myself and daughter had fun!!. We went to the park, we took pictures, and the park was fun and snow people were made, giant snow and woman. men. women and children were busy making things with the snow.

The goverment complained that the day off work cost the economy billions of money, the recession would deepen even further. People still continued to have fun. Teenage boys and young men were planning who they were going to ambush, battle lines at the ready and teenage girls were with their dogs sliding on the ice and dogs were positively excited also. Despite the destruption to traffic, we all praised God for the snow and asked him to send us some more.

Framing your world with your words

2009-02-06T10:24:00.000-08:00

It is very important to say the right things concerning our world. Books such as 'The Secret' is based on the Law of Attraction, which is based on God's requirement for us to carefully choose our words concerning our life. Our words have to lie with God's words and God's thinking.

Proverbs 10:11 The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.

Proverbs 10:14 Wise men lay up knowledge but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.

James 3:2-6 James talks about our words, particularly in verse 6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it set on fire of hell.

Psalms 103:20 Bless ye the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.

So the angels are waiting to do God's commandments and also our commandments, so you say. 'I am always in debt' and you will probably end up always in debt. However if you are in debt and say 'Wealth and riches are in my house', so mediate on the word and you go to bed thinking of wealth and riches being in your house, you will eventually get relevation and you will have wealth and riches in your house.

When God had his own problems, when the world was not like he wanted it. He said 'Let there be light'. He didn't say 'Oh No, it just so dark and there is not light anywhere'In Romans 4:17 b....we can 'calleth those things which are not as though they were'.

And Jesus said in Mark 11: 24 'Therefore I say unto you. What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them and ye shall have them'

If you go on google, find out about a man called Neville Goddard, some of his teachings are on youtube and he is very good, also try and get a recording of the art of imagination, it will change your way of thinking.

New Year New Beginnings

2009-01-17T08:42:00.000-08:00

Seasonal Greetings and Happy New Year

It's a new year and a new beginning.

I love the ringing in of the New Year, because I always feel that you can have another chance. The time does change, but you have the same 24 hours, in a day to make a difference and once you are alive, all is not lost. It is nice to be back again. I needed to spend some time on my home, we are in deep decoration mode, we are still throwing out a lot of rubbish, which was cluttering up our lives and sometimes it is hard to let go, but they are like fig trees in your life, they produce nothing but rubbish. I believe that your circumstances are subject to change, many times we forget that, but it is the truth. We can all the right circumstances, the people, abundance or whatever we need into our life, favour of the right people is so important, with the right people, you get the right connections and you are always in the right place at the right time.

Psalm 5:12: For Thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.

Putting my house in order

2008-08-29T02:22:00.000-07:00

I am putting my own house in order, so I would not be blogging for awhile. I have sent for and received Sharp bedrooms, Moben kitchens and Dolphin bathrooms brochures, looked on websites for sash windows, loft and basement information, getting planning permission. There was a church conference with the likes of TD Jakes, Bill Winston, Tudor Bismark, Junita Byrum, and many others which started on Sunday 24th August to Sunday 30th August, but I will not attend, because I have to put my own house in order. Charity begins at home. So I have removed old bedding, smashed up old furniture, old televisions, threw out old carpets, cleaned, scrubbed, polished and I am still cleaning and looking at more things to throwing out the old, which are like fig trees in my life. I even throw out some things at 12.30 a.m in the early hours in the morning. It had to go. As you say, I am in the middle of de-cluttering my house, my life and me.
Deuteronomy 6:11-12 And houses full of all good things, which thou fillest not and wells digged, which thou diggedst not, vineyards and olive trees, which thou plantedst not; when thou shall have eaten and be full;

Then beware lest thou forget the Lord, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

My version Dear Lord El Shadda, according to your words : Deuteronomy 6:11-12. I thank you, that I am able to fill my house and my other house, which I will get in the future, with all good things, the sharp bedrooms, the mobed kitchens, dolphin bathrooms, the loft and basement being done and have my fridge and wardrobes stocked with all good things to eat and wear and the money to pay for the very best.

I thank you Lord, that I can think big and you have brought me out of a poverty mindset. I thank you for being my Jehovah Jireh and providing me with all these things and more, in Jesus Name Amen.

You can have it all, why because you are worth it

2008-08-07T10:19:00.001-07:00

You can have it all. You always hear that we can't have it all. You can't have your cake and eat it, and have you noticed that whenever a question is asked, would you marry a man who was young and poor or old and rich? We always seem to be faced with one or the other, why can't we marry a man or a woman who was young, rich and beautiful, beautiful in looks as well as ways. In the old testament, God constantly talked about prosperity and richness.

Deuteronomy 8:18 But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth theee power to get wealthy, that he may establish his convenant which he swore unto thy fathers, as it is this day.

Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth, but thou shall mediate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein for then thous shalt make thy way prosperous and then thou shal have good success.

Proverbs 10:22 The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich and he addeth no sorrow with it.

In the new testament, Jesus also continued the conversation of prosperity.

John 10:10 The theif cometh not, but for to steal and kill and to destroy: I am come that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly.

So when I looked up the words, abundant and prosperity in the dictionary. Abundance means a quantity that is more than enough, plenty. Abundant means more that enough, plentiful, having plenty of something, rich.

Prosperous means financially successful. When God and Jesus talked about abundance and prosperity, meaning that the person, was abundant in all areas of their lives, so they would have an abundant relationship with their spouses and they would have abundant relationship with their children and they would have abundance in their bank accounts, so they would not have to want for anything. They would have abundant health, a new house, lots of clothes, shoes, or whatever they wanted. They would be blessed with material wealth and well as spiritual wealth. A person would live a wholesome life, they have a sound mind, sound body, sound wealth and sound health, nothing missing, nothing lacking. They should be whole. They should have peace, they should have Shalom, which is a Hebrew word, which is more that just peace, what every they need they should have, deliverance, righteousness, prosperity, health, wealth, happiness, joy.

So anyone who tells you that money doesn't not make you happy, they are ususally people who have money, in that case you should answere, 'you give me all your money', you would soon see, how they would react. Proverty is a miserable existence, it is horrible, boring, dull, painful, unbearable. Poverty leads to illness, sickness, it destroy marriages, the family. We have to bring heaven on earth. We all know that we will eventually leave this mortal realm, but while you are living here, you want to live a full, abundant, prosperous, success, rich and plentiful life. Say out it loud, 'I am rich', 'I am a billionaire' and confess this to yourself that you are a billionaire and imaging your billionaire lifestyle, your fabulous wedding, your gorgeous husband or wife, your beautiful children, your houses in the Hamptons and Caribbean, your yatchs in Monte Carlo, shopping trips to Paris, going to fashion shows in Milan, skiing in Switzerland or Aspen, USA. and when all that money is manifested in your life, help other people to have the wealthy lifestyle also, building schools, universities, and hospitals, praising in God's name. As Jesus said in Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God: and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. That can be anything from growing your hair long, buying a house, appying for a job, writing first your novel or whatever you choose to do. The more you discuss and ask advice, you start to get wisdom and wisdom saves a whole lot of time and energy. Some of us come from backgrounds, where our family like toil and hardship, if it is not hard, it is not good, but when it is hard and prolonging, it is a waste of time and energy. Life is too just short. You want to live a full, live it loud and large! travel the world. Don't let anyone tell you, that you shouldn't have it, or it can't be done, or it is impossible. Mark 10:27....With men, it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible. The God we serve, likes big things, he loves expansion, growth, development, he loves variety, look at the different races of people, different trees, flowers, plants, herbs, animals, he likes to share in our dreams, he likes to be part of our plans. He likes to listen to our ideas, but religion makes us put him in the distance future, remote, far off, not relevant to our lives now, but having a relationship with God, he is in the present, the now. So if you want to get the car, or fly that plane, ask God to how to do it and he will guide you. He will grant you favour and bless you, so that your life will be rich beyond your wildest dreams.

So make your vision boards and stick pictures of your husband, your wife, your children, your houses, gardens, yatches, aeroplanes, money, your businesses.

Habakkuk 2:2-3 And the Lord answered me and said: Write the vision and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth and for the vision is yet for an appointed time , but at the end, it shall speak and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. Speak to your vision board, talk to your vision, it, think it, surround yourself with like minded people and call your vision into being.

Romans 4:17b And calleth those things which be not as though they were. Ask believe and receive and thank God for your husband/wife, children, houses, properties, money, riches, bank accounts overflowing with so much money that the bank has to ask you to borrow money.

Ephesians 3:20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that I ask or think, according to the power that worketh in me.

Taking back our beauty and owning it and loving it

2008-07-11T03:33:00.000-07:00

All women from various ethnic groups are beautiful. There is beauty in all races. This is not a statement, this is a fact, and we must recognise so. We live in an abundant earth. The God, who created us, loves variety, and especially people, that is why Elohim created so many races of people. There is something unique about black women, there are at least 74 shades of the black skin, from very fair to very dark, our hair texture is also unique, it can range from very curly to spongy, woolly, the coil pattern is so different, there are kinks, curls and coils on the same strand of hair and if you look at the black hair under the microscope, you can see a radiation of light coming from it. It seems to have this energy coming from off it. Another thing which is unique to black people's hair, is the shrinkage. Afro textured hair may appear short, growth may be up to the shoulders, but if the hair is stretched out, the length is much longer, than expected. We tend to have a more thicker frame, even if we are very slim, thicker buttocks, thighs, fullness of lips, wider nose.

The first time, Europeans met Africans, there have always been a fascination about the African skin and in the Roman times, many artists painted pictures, and sculptures were made of African people. Due to slavery and colonialism, the accepted forms of beauty was white skin and blonde hair, but still there was an obsession of the black form, even though eurocentric media tried to make out that eurocentric beauty this was the ideal beauty, still there was something always a fascination about black beauty. Due to changing attitudes, all types of beauty is now accepted and even though there are beauty magazines for European, Asian, Hispanic African and Native peoples of the world, still in main stream modelling and the fashion media, there are very few people of colour being represented, despite 1970s, 80s and 90s, there were quite a few black runway models, such as Beverly Johnson, Iman, Beverly Peele, Veronica Webb, Pat Cleveland, Gail O'Neill, Karen Alexandra, Grace Jones, Tyra Banks. At one Paris and Milan catwalks had a lot of black models. In 2008 although we see a lot of Noemie Lenoir, Yasmin Warsame, Chanel Iman, Ubah, Toccara Jones, Liya Kebede, Alva Chin, Arlenis Sosa, Jourdan Dunn, Kiara kabukuru, yet because there have been so very few black models, the Italian issue of July edition of Vogue, is featuring only African or African descent models. I was lucky to get my issue, my daughter went and got it in Selfridges, a large department store in the West End shopping area. Apparently, the manager rang us this morning to let us know that the magazine had come in. Selfridges ordered 250 copies, when he rang, already 50 had been sold, and by the time Ayodele got our copy, 100 had already been sold. This issue had made a lot of news, Borders said they had a lot of interest, one Asian shopkeeper ordered 80 copies and he was telling me, what an exciting issue it would be. The Italian edition was delayed, because of this massive interest. Advertising in this issue has gone up 30% . It is nice that there is a copy in main stream magazine like Vogue, showing how beautiful black women are, but we always knew we were anyway. It is also rather ironic again, it is the Italians like the Romans showing interest in African beauty, the editor decided are taking the initiative to do this issue, also using Toccara Jones, who is very curvaceous woman.

I would like more black women to break away from the mental brainwashing and realise they are absolutely very beautiful. It does not matter what shade of black you are, you are still beautiful. The more you love yourself, not in a self indulgent way, but in a Godly way, you love the God in you. The ladies I have chosen such as Toccara Jones, a Nigerian beauty, Yvette Nisiah, she represents Miss Ghana in the Miss Universe 2008, Stacey McKenzie who is Jamaican born from Kingston, a successful Canadian fashion model, writer television presenter and actress and she starred in the film 'The 5Th Element' Measha Brueggergosman, a Canadian classical soprano, and Alek Wek another successful African model, author, represent our diverse spectrum.

At one time, having a big bottom, full lips, we were regarded as a bit of a freak show, for example Sara Baartman, who came to Europe from South Africa, when she was 20, where she was exhibited naked, for doctors and scientists to look at her, within five years at the age of 25, she was died from loneliness and disease and even in death, she did not have any dignity, after she died, her brain, skeleton and vagina, were cut out and put into jars for more people to look examine. Jennifer Lopez's bottom can be celebrated, but ordinary black women who have large bottoms are regarded as fat. Now non-black women are getting boobs jobs and yes they want the round bottoms too, and the fuller lips also.

We are now in a position to control our own images, we don't have to be video vixens, we don't have to starve ourselves either, and look like skin and bone, because we are not, we just need to love ourselves and our skins, our hair and we can attract men, the first thing they will notice is our beauty, when they get to know us, our character, we can attract quality men to, and if we meet men who only want us for sex, we do not pursue the relationship, because we will never be satisfied, let them go on their way and a man more worthy of us will come along. We are fearfully and wonderfully made and we have to power to take back what is ours and celebrate our bodies and how wonderfully we have been created by The Royal majesty Elohim.

Who are the angry black women and where do they live?

2008-06-26T03:48:00.000-07:00

Do these ladies look angry to you? Okay, you can argue, I picked pictures of smiling politicians and one supermodel. This was prompted by another blogger Hopelessly Sarcastic, http://hopelesslysarcastic.blogspot.com/. Allow me to introduce my angry black female self. One of the reporters, mentioned that Maxine Waters is angry, Cynthia McKinney is angry, Michelle Obama is angry and the black anchor women, who are on the television are always angry and black women in general are angry. Wow! now that is a sweeping statement. It seems to be the norm to accept that all black women are angry. Angry according to the Oxford Dictionary definition of the word, means the strong feeling caused by extreme displeasure. The emotion anger is neither positive or negative, it is a neutral emotion, meaning it can be used to bring positive or negative results. All the women shown here are well spoken, articulate and they can express themselves clearly. Women tend to have more communicative than men. There is a problem of having black women who can express themselves well, certain sections of the media like to say that they are 'angry'. Angry is an emotion that is felt by everybody. If we look in the bible, everyone got angry, Cain was angry with Abel, Noah got angry at Ham, Abraham and Lot quarrelled, Sarah got angry at Hagar, Esau got angry with Jacob. Jacob got angry with Laban, Rachel and Leah were angry at each other. Joseph's brothers were angry with him. Moses was angry with people of Israel. God was angry with them that is why they wondered for 40 years and only Caleb and Joshua were able to get into the promised land. There were other incidents, when God got angry, David got angry, Jesus got angry with the money changers in the temple. Women get angry, men get angry, children get angry and even babies get angry. Every woman and man of every race is entitled to get angry. However when black women get angry, we are know as 'the angry black woman', or there is a sweeping statements, black women are always angry. Black women are mothers, daughters, sisters, aunts, grandmothers, cousins. So does that mean, every day every black woman wakes up, angry, she goes to bed angry and she is angry in the times between sun raise and sunset. Even some black men are saying 'black women have too much attitude, they talk too much, they are too strong willed, and yada, yada, ya!. So what is the reality of the 'angry black woman'. When I got divorced, I was upset, but I did get angry, when ex-husband accused me of harassing him, which I did not, because I left his home and went to my parents house and I did get angry when my barrister accused me of a being a bitter black woman. My daughter who is 20 years and she is going to university in September, I asked her, if I was an angry black woman, she said that I'm always laughing and her father is always angry. I also noticed when I was growing up, my father was always angry, he was always quarrelling with someone and even at now at 82, he is still angry and he shouts and screams. The black men who scream abuse at black women from various 'organizations' the so-called God messengers, they are angry, others rant about black women on you tube from them wearing weaves to them interracially dating and marrying non-black men. They are angry, the lyrics of some hip hop artists, singing about their bitches and hoes, sounds very angry to me, however someone told me, I must not take it like that, it is a form of endearment, according to the Oxford dictionary, endearment is a word or words expressing love. So these black gentlemen are expressing words of love to their lady friends, by calling them bitches and hoes. I learn something new everyday. Some of the black male blogs, I visited, had a lot of men were very angry with Barack Obama's Father's Day speech, there was a young black men on Fox News, complaining that Barack Obama was speaking to the wrong people, and he was extremely furious about it, a lot of men were annoyed especially when he mentioned that many men have low expectations of themselves, saying like, 'at least I got a job, at least I'm not in jail or at least I don't chase after women, drink or smoke'. 'How dare he', as one man said, he made the speech to look down at black people to say that he is better than them and why did he have to go in such a large church, there were plenty of smaller churches he could have spoken in.

The Punk Rock music was another angry music genre, which was anti-establishment rock music, the music was loud, their members could not really play and as for singing. Well I have to say, their members liked that type of music, with names like Johnny Rotten and Sid Vicious members of the Sex Pistols, it is not to fill you with feelings of love and warmth, just aggression and angry. We never hear about angry white men or angry white boys or angry black men or angry black boys, but everyone knows about angry black women. 'I like black women...but they just bit hard to handle...I mean they are always angry'. I have been told, 'I'm a nice black woman...but the rest...they're just....they bit your ears off'. I would be very curious to know who put the rumour about all black women being ' angry black women'.

Naomi Campbell has been know for her incidents of violence. In August 1998, she was the first black model on the cover of Vogue Paris, the first black model on the cover of Vogue UK, Vogue Nippon and Time magazine. Sam McKnight, the famous hairdresser, say that Naomi was a pleasure to work with. Jeff Banks, a British designer said that the media don't seem to realise that Naomi Campbell is the only model who does British Fashion week for free. On 3rd April 2008, she was arrested inside Heathrow's Terminal 5 on suspicion of assaulting a police officer, because her baggage had been lost, she had that her reaction was to the fact that one of the BA staff called her a Golliwog supermodel, she said that it was not any of the passengers. She has apologised to the police. BA has banned her from using their flights globally and she has refused to apologise to BA, she had been sentenced to do 200 hours of community service. She and the media have a very troubled relationship and it started the moment, she became very successful model, being the first British and black woman, a reporter wanted to know where did Naomi's mother get the money to buy her house in Streatham, South West London and go to private school etc. The reporter also alleged that she was threatened by the orders of Robert De Niro. Since 1997, she had been involved in charity work for children and people of Sub-Saharan Africa and she worked with Nelson Mandela, she raised millions of dollars for Hurricane Karina.

Diane Abbot MP (member of Parliament) also has the tag of 'angry black woman'. The first black woman to be elected in the general election of 1987, it was not until 1997 that the Black and Jewish MP Oona King joined her.

Nyamo Sabuni is a Swedish politician, and currently serving as the Minister for Integration and Gender Equality in Swedish government.

Maxine Waters, she has also been referred to 'an angry black woman' served as a democratic member of the United States House of Representatives since 1991.

Michelle Obama, also referred as 'an angry black woman', she will be the first black woman to be first lady in the White House, Princeton and Harvard educated.

Cynthia McKinney also has the reference 'angry black woman' is an American politician and Green party candidate.

Patrica Janet Scotland, Baroness Scotland of Asthal. PC , QC, Privy Counsel and Queen Counsel respectively. She is a barrister and current attorney general for England and Wales, she has a ministerial position in the British Government. She was the first black woman to be made Queen's Counsel.

So now the truth about 'the angry black woman' and where do they live. You will find angry black women, with nasty attitudes, anywhere and everywhere, and they live all over the world, but you will find women of all races with nasty attitudes and they too live all over the world. You will get 'angry black women', but not all black women are angry. The majority of black women are smart, intelligent, sweet, very feminine, softly spoken, they laugh out loud, they go to church and they love God and Jesus. Black women get married, they have children and they have husbands who love them. They are stylish, they love to shop, they love supermarkets, shopping malls, they love fashion, make-up and shoes. So they are like lots of other women, the only thing they are black, they are from African descent. The media corporations want to feature one type of woman, the loud, aggressive, uneducated ladies, but ladies who are intelligent, well spoken, articulate and can express their point effectively and clearly are regarded as 'the angry black woman'. Black women are entitled to say what they feel in a dignified manner, because black women have experienced racism prejudice and we have to work twice or three times as hard to prove ourselves. If other people don't like it, too bad. When I used to do temping jobs, or any other jobs, I always had to prove myself, they would assume that I would fail and when I didn't, they would ask, why am I so nice, kind, soft and I would say nice things. I would say that my parents trained me that way, because of this box system, some media corporations and even black people themselves, feel that black women who are educated, speak nicely, articulate, confident, successful and are beautiful are 'acting white'. This goes to show the level of ignorance some people have, without education, there would not be any fashion designers, hair dressers, inventors, lawyers, engineers, architects, landscape gardeners, doctors, lawyers, preachers, rabbis, business owners, writers, scientists. These women, these black women made our world and more interesting and fascinating place. Black women have opened their eyes and they realise that the world is an abundance place and as the daughters of the most High God,

El El yon, they are entitled to the richness of the land, regardless of what anyone says, it is theirs, it is mine, it is yours, for the taking. We just have to ask, receive and believe, because if we can think it, we can create it, with God on our side. We are already winners.

The attack of the Black women and how do we fight back

2008-06-10T08:21:00.000-07:00

I have noticed that Black women are being attacked, and the attacks are constant, vicious and abusive. I don't really know what we done to deserve this. We are attacked, because if we are educated and speak and act polished. We are told that we are not black enough, we are attacked because we are marrying men from different races. We are called sellouts and traitors. We are attacked because instead of concentrating on what white women do and focusing to them, because there are hardly any black woman on main stream magazine covers, very few are in the film industry, instead we have magazines and blogs to address our needs. We are setting up our own film industry. We put our money, in our own projects. We are being accused of white women protectionism and we forget what Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King did for us, so that we can enjoy the freedom, we have now. We have less privilege than white women and why are we protecting them and that is why few white men approach us, because they don't consider us sexy.

Usher is married and has a lovely wife Tameka, she is being attacked, because she is not pretty enough for him, and she is too dark. We are being attacked for all the ills of the black community. We are being attacked because we are loud mouth, ghetto and fat and that is why black men don't want us. We are attacked because some hip hop songs call us hos and bitches. We are attacked because we are not quite is considered beautiful. Black models find it harder to get work. It seems to be, it is in a lot of peoples interest, to have the pity party for the black woman. 'Poor black women', their men don't want them, other men from other groups don't want them. People are looking for the 'angry black woman'. Her life is full of hardship and toil.

Let us look at the reality of things, even though 70% of black women are single, there is 60% of black men who is single also. Black women are twice as likely to be educated up to degree level and beyond than white women. In the blog world, I have meet many black women, who are married to non-black men, so saying that non-black men don't find black women attractive, is a big lie. Also black men who are married to black women and raising wonderful children. Black women are most likely to have start their own businesses. The majority of black women are taking the lives in their hands and living it to the full. They are breaking out of their mental chains and in order to have change, they must make changes themselves. They have the anointing of David, Daniel, Debra, Abigail, Solomon and Moses. They have been made for a time like this. Inspirational women of our time are Bessie Coleman, Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Diane Abbott MP (Memberof Parliament, UK), Baroness of Scotland, member of the UK cabinet. Nyamko Sabuni, Government minister for Integration and Gender Equality Swedish MP, Shaznay Lewis, lead singer and song writer of the group 'All Saints'. Estelle felt that her record company was not promoting her properly, she met Kanye West and asked him to get in touch with John Legend and the rest is history, American Boy was a big hit in UK and USA. Jill Scott, Malorie Blackman, Leslie Esdaile-Banks, Sandra Kitt, Lisa Price owner of Carol's daughter, Anita Grant, she had her own on-line beauty business and my list would go on and on. Cupcake Brown, came from a terrible background of sexual abuse and prostitution from a very young age, she was a gang member and an alcoholic, she became a successful lawyer and now she is a motivational speaker and engaged to be married. The reason for these attacks, is because black women realise their self worth, they realise that they are beautiful women, they have started to celebrate their beauty. They can anything, they want to be, whatever they set their minds to. The sky's the limit. So they are getting on with their lives, their husbands, children and their passions and they are happy. They will always be the angry ones, the bitter ones, but the majority are a success. That is why it is so scary to some angry black men, some angry black women, some angry white women and some angry white men. The best revenge on your enemies is success and your enemies will talk about you day and night, because they can't sleep at night, and you can, because as Proverbs 10:22 states you have the blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich and he addeth no sorrow with it.

Images of Us and how we really see ourselves

2008-05-30T12:40:00.000-07:00

There are various images portrayed in the media, from the asexual black mammy Aunt Jemima types, hip hop girls to the hip hop porn girls. So where does the real women fit in all this stereotype. The top image is of Dove soap, they ran a campaign of real women, no touching up and they got members of the public to be in their campaign, although people welcomed it, however many did not like it, is it because they are so use to airbrush females, with no flaws. Jennifer Hudson is a lovely woman of our times, she is curvaceous and she is like an everyday woman, she is comfortable with her size and she looks lovely, nice smile, glossy hair. The famous Video vixen, with her ample bottom, usually found hip hop videos, not all but the more sexual ones. Teena Taylor is a hip hop artist, she is pretty, a teenager and she models also, she writes her own material. Hattie McDaniel, the most famous maid, the ultimate black mammy and Aunt Jemima, she is fat, asexual and she is non-threatening, well she would be, because she is too busy looking after Miss Southern Belle, Scarlett O'Hara. Buffy the body, would be found in King magazine and other male magazines, as Sir Mix-a-lot said from his song 'Baby got back'. He was celebrating the black female bottom, while Cosmo magazine was trying to tell us that we were just fat, he was saying that is the shape of black women. From the Africa, South America, West Indies, women with their ample in their bottoms are living perfectly normal lives, they are married have children, some get divorced and get married again. Grannie is her eigthies, still looking hot with her ample bottom . I was born and brought up in England, United Kingdom. My parents came from Guyana, South America. As soon as I became a teenager and my breasts and bottom grew. I was told that my breasts were too big and so was my bottom, and my mother would tell me, I have the body of my ancestors and we are from good stock, also it is amazing how African features, full lips, our nose, our skin, our breasts, we were characterised as being whores, while the other girls, who were mostly white were virgins, which was not true of course, most of the girls at my school were no longer virgins by the time, they were fourteen. They knew about French kissing by the time, they were twelve. The two middle pictures are of two African women, an ordinary woman and the Ethiopian/Israeli model Esti Mamo, the last pictures is of Esther Baxter, who was a video vixen, changed to clothes modeling and now, she has given up modelling and she is gone back to college. She is was married, but her husband could not deal with the attention, she was getting, so they got divorced. There are two images that the media love, of black women is the mammy and the whore. Have you know noticed in all the main stream films, black women can only be play best friends to the lead character, although she may be slim, still she again is the black mammy, she is asexual. Although African American/African/Caribbean media are taking back their images of how they want to see us, their women, other companies like BET have been highly criticized from the showing black women as video vixens, again the whore, slappers, sluts. We know that all women in all races have prostitutes. Even black people themselves seem to get caught up in the illusion, that if a black woman is educated, listens to classical music, visits art galleries, reads speaks correct English, is is acting white, somehow being ignorant, loud, listening to Snoop Dog, 50 Cent, dancing in a dance hall style, speaking badly, she is acting black. I went to see a friend a few years ago and I remarked about the amount of books, she had and she told me that I was the first person, who showed any interest in her books, because a black young man told her that because she has a lot of books in her house, she would only date white guys, which is certainly not true. We forget that we have African american and black writers, poets, scientists, doctors, lawyer, preachers, businessman and women, architects, fashion designers, Rabbis, there is a African American female Rabbi in training in Israel right now. Where did we get this notion that marriage is for 'white people'. Marriage is for everybody. Why does 50 cent, Nelly, Snoop Dog, get more publicity, as compared to Jill Scott, who is a brilliant songwriter and singer, why are we so focused on R Kelly and everyone knows what he was like. We criticize Beyonce and Rhianna, saying that they are fake, or maybe Beyonce has more credibility because she is know married to Jay-Z. Black women seem to be under attack from the enemies within and the outside world. We don't get the protection that other women get. Our so-called leaders are a big let down, they do not protect us. So what do we do? We form alliances with people who care about us, and others who don't, we distance ourselves from them. We are here to make a change, but not to save people. We make changes in our own lives and others around either will change themselves or we have to move on without them. Everyone is responsible for his or own stewardship.

Relationships, Weddings and Marriage

Relationships, weddings and marriages

Relationships, weddings and marriages have changed over the last forty years. There is something wonderful about people falling in love, getting married. I remember when I was younger, I would go to a lot of weddings. We are living in a time, in which our major cities, like London, Manchester, New York, California, Stockholm, Paris and other countries have people of many different nationalities and many faiths. So it is understandable that people will fall in love with people of different races. Physical attraction is the first thing, you notice about the person, height, colour of eyes, colour of hair, shape of the body, then after the initial attraction, people start to get to know each other, the sense of humour, the little things etc, people do for each other. The excitement being with each other. I have visited a lot of blogs done by black women who are interracial marriages, they would write about the happiness of their marriages, the funny things that happen in their life, and even though their husbands would drive them crazy, the more years they spend with their husbands, they are more in love with their husbands, then ever. However unfortunately there is the dark side, people verbally abusing each other, calling them sellouts, traitors and the language of abuse, swearing, cursing.

I remember one time, when I was working, an English man, who was blond and had blue eyes, married an Italian, she had long hair hair and dark eyes. Matthew had pictures of Isabella, all over his computer and work area. They were married for only a year and he gushed about Isabella, he loved the way her hair moved when she walked and I saw pictures of her, he kept in his wallet, she was expecting their first child. He was so happy. Sharon was also English, she was blonde hair and blue hair, she was also married and had two children of her own. She became obsessed with Matthew, she 'fancied him like crazy' and she said that he should not have married his wife, because he was blond and she was dark. They didn't look good together and now that his wife is pregnant, the children won't look good. I said that he is in love with his wife. She replied 'yes, I know but some people need guidance', and then she went on to discuss why she didn't approve of interracial marriages, the only thing, she would say that the children is mixed raced couples were beautiful. I started to look at this further, some black men get mad when they see black women with white and non-black men, they justify the fact that the ladies are 'settling' and one man on youtube felt that if the 'brothas' sorted themselves out, many of the black women who return to the black men. You get black women angry, that white women are taking the few black men that are left, because there is so much statistics about there is so few available of decent black men, the rest are in prisons, on drugs, have many baby mothers and are bisexual. There is a shortage of 'good black men' and if they are dating other white and non-black women, the women feel that their chance for marriage is gone. You get white women who are equally hysterical, because the white man they want is with a black woman, the flirting, flouting, is just over the top. Women who have broken up with their boyfriend over a year, since when they hear he is now has a black girlfriend, fiancee or wife, suddenly want to be friends with their ex-boyfriends, some actually confront the women about her relationship and 'I can't believe that he would be with someone like you', or 'are you really together'. 'I didn't think, that he was your type'. Then you get people analysing the interracial relationships, why would he like her, why would she like him, they are not suited and they would carry on like if they are relationship experts. Even in same race relationship, we as a society don't want husband and wives spend time together, society puts a strain on marriages, husbands and wives can spend time with their families and friends, but not each other. No wonder sometimes the divorce rate is high, sometimes I wonder if we really want marriages or just partnerships to produce children. Our religious institutions have not helped at all, in some cases they have made matters worse.

I would say that the statistics are a lot of rubbish, there are plenty, decent black, white, asian or what ever you want in the world. There is plenty women out there too, who are kind, wonderful women. There are beautiful men and women in all races. One of the names of God is El Shaddai, which is Hebrew from God Almighty. God Almighty likes things big and he loves variety. He has give us an abundance of men and women to pick from, we just have to pick the right person for us. Variety is the spice of life. So whatever man or women you want they are available to you, you just have to believe. You shouldn't use other people eyes to tell you that you are beautiful, regardless of the media tells you, if you know you are beautiful, you are beautiful. See your beautiful from your own eyes. Be with a man or woman who you really like, don't sell yourself short, because you will be disappointed. Don't be with someone, who you are expected to be with, if your family, friends don't like it, well they are not living your life. Unfortunately our family want the best for us, but sometimes they don't always know what is best for us, we and we alone have to decide that for ourselves. As for our friends sometimes we outgrow them, they want different things, and we have to accept that.

Where to people learn about relationships? from their own parents, they look at their friends. I honestly now realise that there is a sizable amount of people who marry for what they can get, and have never married because they love each other, so when they see people of different races or same racial groups, husbands and wives who actually are in love and still in love after five, ten or numerous amount of years, jealousy raises it ugly head and they see what they don't have in their own lives. It is easy to draw on the different racial groups, because you can see the difference in colour, but with same racial group, what do you look for, she is dark and you are blond, you don't look good together, or she is dark skinned and he is light skinned. Dark skinned women are not attractive, and your children won't have nice hair. People are too busy concentrating on the physical aspects and they can't see the deeper aspect, they are just good together, they are both happy, really happy. He maybe was never a smiler, but since he is married, he smiles more, she is always laughing. He adores his children. With his children, he can be a boy again and can play with them. He can take his sons to football and she can take her daughter shopping and they can get their hair done together. Even though he and she will have their different tastes, yet he likes her company, they still go out on dates. I know a man who loved Valentines, because he loved picking the chocolates, so he and his wife could enjoy them, she loves the strawberry filled centres and he loves the nut centre chocolates and people would argue there was not need for that after they have been married for over thirty years, but he argued it was a must for them.

The two people who inspired me is the story about was Mr and Mrs Richard and Mildred Loving, when the lawyers asked them to come to the Supreme court to hear their verdict, he said that they wouldn't come, but he told the lawyers, they must tell the court. 'I love my wife', and that what boils down to it. He loves his wife, she loves her husband. What every physical differences they have if long dark hair, dark eyes, light eyes, light hair spongy hair, soft skin, skin colours in chocolate, vanilla, caramel, mocha, mahoney, golden, beige, peach, magnolia. They love each other.

My hair

2008-05-04T11:17:00.001-07:00

I have my hair natural. I have been natural for nearly six years now, and I love it. It is so easy for me to look after my hair. I use Aloe vera gel, castor oil, extra virgin oil, MSM, glycerine and rosewater. My favourite styles are usually twists, flat twists and bunti knots.

I rinse daily, using conditioner about one teaspoon, about small amount of MSM, aloe vera gel and I add some glycerine and rosewater, all this is added to a bottle of 50 ml, I put a little water to mix the contents thoroughly, then add distilled water to fill the bottle. I put a stocking on my hair and pour my rinse over my hair, wrap my hair with a towel, after I finished showering, my hair would be damp and I add a castor oil, aloe vera gel mixture to my roots. I try to massage my hair daily.
