What I believe

It dawned on me that since I had the gall, the . . .audacity to write/start this blog - with strong steadfast lol encouragement - it should at least be about something. Should definitely say something. What is it that "I" should say? Perhaps it should say and endorse what I believe. So here it goes . . .

I believe in God. The Heavenly Father, the creator of all things. I believe He made Heaven, and earth, and Man. I believe He made Adam first for a reason. And from Adam, a help mate - woman, Eve. I believe in the alignment of God's purpose for us: God, Jesus, Man, Woman, and child.

I believe in Jesus Christ. I believe God loved us so much that He turned His words into flesh and that flesh was/is Jesus. I believe Jesus was created and born for the purpose of being a worthy sacrifice for our behalf. I believe as men and women we fell well short of being worthy of being offered up for God. And I believe if not for Jesus,  . . .I believe we would have been obliterated.

I believe in the Holy Bible as the instructional love letter and outline of how we should live life from God to us - then and now. I believe in The Bible's works, writings, words and truths. I believe a great many of us are afraid of The Bible's works, writings, words, and truths because once we know - well then we would know. From knowing we would have to do better. I believe some people are simply afraid to do better because then the die would be set and the bar could never again be adjusted down.

I believe my favorite book of The Bible is probably "songs of Solomon (Song of Songs) for the poetry of love in that book is so pure, and powerful. " . . .Dark I am, yet lovely, O daughters of Jerusalem, dark like the tents of Kedar, like the tent curtains of Solomon . . . " Song of Solomon (Song of Songs) 1:5. I believe Black is Beautiful. I believe she knew exactly what her loves' - King Solomon - boudoir curtains looked like because she believed in his love for her.

I believe in the woman in Provers 31: - and I believe we have let our daughter's down by falling short in rearing them to be this woman rightfully. I believe in the character of Ruth in The Book of Ruth . . .oh Ruth, Ruth, Ruth . . . I believe that will be a separate journal entry.   I believe in the strength of women, but I don't believe we should be strong in making some one else feel weak. I believe women have a place and a mark of strength, but I do not believe it is over our men. I believe that statement could cause some feedback and I believe I would be ready to back it up.

I believe as women we are too hard on ourselves. I believe there is a happy medium in relying on the strength of our character in believing in ourselves and believing in fairy tales. Not childish things but I don't believe being rescued from ourselves would be a bad thing. Some times we believe to readily and handily and lopped sided(ly) in  ourselves alone - and we end up alone and wonder why.

I believe welfare was the destruction of Black homes because it deceptively lead us to believe we could raise families by ourselves - and I don't believe that is how our families should be designed. I believe the  . . . definition of family has been redefined, but we should still believe in family fist . . .we should. I believe the first recorded example of playa' hating, however; is in the Bible - Cain and Able - family. I believe that too will be interpreted and published by me in a later entry.

I believe, I hope this electronic journal formed from my interpretation, my personal values, my beliefs, could make a believer believe.

I believe this probably should have been my first entry, but I believe "Love Cup" was beckoning to go first - I believe I made the right choice.
