Hello Shante, such a good thing for a Sister to add what her greatness is to this blog by living it. Take care and keep up the great work. Heb 13:3 and Pro 3:27-28 speaks of giving credit where it is due on a regular basis... Wednesday, October 18th 2006 at 4:05PM |

Sometimes these blogs can come at just the right time. I took a cerification test today and failed, and I absolutely felt drained and stressed, but after reading this blog, I've gained a new strength and feel like I can once again conquer the world. I guess I just needed to be reminded that I am a Black Women.

Hello Amber Sis, what an awesome thing to see a Young Black Lady claim in faith what she is which is by choice and what leads to great things. A pleasure to meet Your acquaintance. Welcome to HBCU. Also knowledge, wisdom (how we live knowledge), comes from all age groups, nature, animals etc. Just one has to choose to pick, see, hear, observe etc. it by choice. Look forward to your blogs. Have an awesome school year with good things You will add to Your University. Peace Friday, October 20th 2006 at 7:55AM |

Hello Tyhesha, appreciate You adding your real life to this blog. Honesty is boldness. Just remember that Your ancestors dealt with a whole lot i.e. rape, molestation, having babies under trees (putting them in the shade and going right back to work), keeping familes together while watching them ripped apart, beaten, abused, the man coming home and beating the snot out of many of them, beatings, promiscuity, even some males being abused by massa, Jim Crow, KKK, Racism, Inhumanity, Genecide, illness, pain, mental hurts, hunger, famine, malnutrition, racial profiling, murders, etc.etc.etc. And I admit inequalities still exist against women, let alone Black Women. And those strong women ENDURED... --and are the very reason we exist as a culture via God today, God has a covenant with the womb of the woman. Think about that. Childbirth would kill man, let alone carrying for 9 months. I hope I am not being too strong here, just emphasizing that You are the very genetics and fabric of those behind you to pass onward in the ways You can/will via choice. And we are all human, I mean Elijah called down fire from heaven and destroyed troops of enemies and fled from Jezebel. Many are called but few are chosen. Why? Only a few choose... This is a consistency over the long run, not perfection. Hope You feel where I am coming from. Matthew 22:14. A Blessing to know this worked for You. Isaiah 40:25-31 may fit you perfectly...
