Bri made bunk beds out of an old book case. 💪🏾

Mind Your God Bless-ed Business!

So, I may or may not be feeling the effects of the 2 ½ glasses of my wife’s red wine, but I feel the need to let everyone in on something my grandma used to tell me as a child—“Chantel mind your God bless-ed business…!”. (Separating the “ed” is very important, it puts a little umph in it.) Why can’t we all just mind our God bless-ed business? Apparently one of my daughter’s new teachers has a problem with Brielle having a mommy and a dobby. She’s inquired –not to our faces of course; about why we would raise a child while participating in this lifestyle? That God, doesn’t want such a smart, beautiful little girl raised around “that”. It’s not the way of the Bible. My answer madam, to quote the amazing Kid Fury, NOBODY ASKED YOU!!!!! Nobody asked you for your conjecture, nobody asked you for your opinion, and nobody asked you why you’re a grown woman with poor dental hygiene. Wait no, that was mean…God ain’t through with me yet.

I’m a lesbian and I am a Christian. I can be both, I am both. I don’t understand how people can hide behind their misguided views and assumptions about what God and/or Jesus Christ would think of me and my family. I know what the Bible says, we ALL know what the bible says. Clearly some people have skipped over those passages about tattoos, slavery, adultery and one of my personal favorites not sleeping in the same bed with your spouse when on your/their period. Here’s this woman with questionable dental hygiene, questioning MY family, the sanctity of my marriage, and why my daughter calls me dobby. Here she is gossiping about the sawdust in my eye, meanwhile she’s walking into walls because of the plank she has hanging from yours. To quote the philosopher Shawn Corey Carter, “you don’t want it with Hov”. She is right about a couple things, my daughter is extremely smart and she’s beautiful. She’s smart enough to know that she has two parents who love her; who would literally run people over with several cars to get to her. Parents who magically appear with a box of Fruit Loops whenever she requests them. My daughter is beautiful, just ask her she’ll tell you herself.

There is no one on God’s green earth that could tell me MY life, because they haven’t walked in MY shoes. In fact, my pastor, Pastor Steven Furtick said the same thing in a sermon that I was in attendance for. I’m loosely quoting of course but he said: how dare you, as a “good Christian”, begin to tell a homosexual person how they should live their lives. How dare you judge them when you, couldn’t begin to understand that they go through on a daily basis. In other words madam, mind your God bless-ed business. My daughter is healthy, she is happy and most importantly she has two parents who love her.

Now look at you…done lost your job and your breath still stinks. I’m sorry that was mean…He ain’t through with me yet.

*Let the record show that every time I said madam… I definitely didn’t mean madam. Use your imagination, I was talking about God so I didn’t want to cuss.
