My Response...

Seeing us I can live in my bubble, just read Njoki Chege's piece on "Fat=Cheating", plus her interview on the Trend, & now her new article today on pretty much GoldDigging, well my 2cents here, if it matters really, is I get it! I really honestly do get where she's coming from on both articles; But here is my issue- My kids are now 3yrs and am probably my heaviest now & though I may be much busier, truth is if I wanted to, I would be making healthier choices, but sometimes as women & men likewise we tend to get comfortable & lazy & also one thing am learning especially for me as a single Mom, because I don't have a man to come home too I come to a place of acceptance & unconditional love from my two girls, so that pressure isn't really there, but in real essence how it should be is, only until a woman realizes that she needs to get to a place where she needs to workout for herself, eat better for herself, dress smarter, all these things should be because you love your body, it's your temple take care of it & you'll be surprised at the confidence you'll get if you do it for you...

 All must be to done for your good, don't do it for your partner, that said the bible is clear that "The Woman will crave the attention of a Man" So it all goes back to knowing your worth & that He made you beautiful, so if your spirit is right you'll also want your body to catch up with it, so do it for you!! Because a man won't cheat because your fat! He'll make the choice to cheat anyway, so you'll do all these things to impress him only to be cheated on, then loose the will to even try to look beautiful, because the reason you look beautiful every morning is for him & not you, so that correlation between weight gain=cheating is not that black & white, because Though men are visual beings, cheating is a choice! And he who makes the decision to has the problem, and that should not be pegged on your weight. A good man would simply address it head on & you work as a partners to bring out the best in each other. I could go on forever really, but calm down people Njoki Chege is only doing what I've always had a problem with- Maximizing on Controversy, sucks but that's what sells, but I must say that I like that she is starting necessary conversations., though leaving a sour taste for many...

Her new article, Well... I actually posted a similar one on this blog earlier this year; Revelations... My view then... But more evolved... Only thing constant in life is change eh;-)

Lesson...

 I can't shake this unwavering feeling that all I have prayed for, cried to God for & prepared for is all happenening...

There is a condition though... Listen to God...

Funny how when your desperate for God to move in your life, the fervent prayer & fasting comes so naturally, but when waiting on Him becomes a little too hard & you slowly find yourself giving into the desires of the flesh, accepting that maybe this is all it's set out to be, you stop praying, or atleast stop praying as honestly & with the same hunger, because sin separates you from God...

Like Adam & Eve, shame creeps in, and now you feel unworthy to go before Him, the sin has also become too sweet to walk away from, but deep down you know that this phase will not last forever and wait for the day that He will give you a reality check!! And when He does it Hits Hard!! Everything in your life will go wrong, from home to work, sickness will follow you & your children, work will bear no fruits & yes you will be broke all the TIME!!

Only until you wake up & realise that we serve a Jelous God! So once you put someone or something else on a Pedalstal, His Grace & Mercy will no longer cover you, because your only safe when your living in His Divine Purpose, but also be aware that the road is still not smooth, the tests & trials are granted, but by His Strength He will equip you & this too shall Pass...

That said, am learning how beautiful & peaceful it is to live in your purpose, you thrive, you glow, you love...

And one key element of Success am learning is to always give God what is His!!! First Fruits, Tithe & Offering... He really does give you back press down & shaken together!!!

Second thing... Be Fearless!! Share about His Greatness, His Love & Mercy, never be afraid to stand up and be counted as one of His, He will surely reward you...

Lastly, know who you are in Him!! Beautiful, Loved, Forgiven, The Head & not the tail & Favoured!! Once you tap into that reality you will have the courage to live the life He has set out for you, you will have the courage to walk away from that unhealthy relationship, you will have the courage to love the way God say's you should love, and you will have the courage to be a better Parent, a more intentional parent...

I hope this speaks to someone, because I really do feel the burden to reach out... I can't keep this all to myself...
