Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing. For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.
1 Peter 3:9-11(KJV)

What it means to me to be a woman of faith in the 21st century?
Well where to begin? To be honest, I fail to think of something that means more to me than loving Jesus and living close to Him each day. If most girls are truly honest with ourselves, we are constantly looking for a guy to like us and to pay attention and look at us as though we are simply the best thing in this world, and while this particular boy may be impossibly hard on earth with all the interesting characters that boys have to offer, we need only need to lift our eyes to God, who fulfills every single one of those great characters. He is The One who will always be there for you.... He loves you more than anything and looks at you the way you always wanted to be looked at. Fall in love with God ladies, it’s the best decision you will ever make, because not only is knowing and following God a blessing like none other for yourself personally....but you in turn are able to be a blessing in other people's lives because God will work through you. You will become a light in the world that nothing and no one will ever be able to put out, because He is always with you. Romans 8:28 is a verse that I always hold dear it says, "And we know that in all things, God works for the good of those who love Him".
The key to life, and when I am mean life, I mean a life filled with love and happiness and relationship is quite simple....JESUS. Woman can do pretty much anything because God created us so magnificently, we truly just need to tap into that love and compassion that God is just waiting for us to acknowledge and dive into. A good way would be to remind yourself that God is in control. He wants the best for you. It might be a cliche, but it does not make the following statement any less true: God has got this!
Anyway, that is a wrap from my side. Here is to being a woman...a woman on fire for The Lord. emPOWERing

A psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
Psalms 23:1 (NIV)
To The QUEEN, AKC
Who’s ever thought of a life without their arm #Legit your whole arm. Left or Right. Have you thought of your life without it. Exactly. Well I feel the same way when it comes to MY QUEEN. I can’t think of a life without her
You know those D.R.Y cliche line, “words can’t describe how I feel” #Legit I’ll have to use it as well. Words can’t describe how I feel about MY QUEEN
In my eyes, she surpasses Kate, Elizabeth, Kim, Taylor, Beyonce and the newest member to the female gender Caityln #NoComment. MY QUEEN is beautiful, honest, raw, tender, exquisite, precious and overall just one of a kind.
I really can’t remember when she wasn’t there #Seriously. When she didn’t put ME on her back while she had to clean the house, or when she covered my books for my first day of school, when she stayed with ME until I fell asleep because I was afraid of the dark or when she ran to find the perfect dress the day before the big night and when I decided to wear a suit she was #Tootez on board, when I had to realize the dream I had been chasing since I was 10 wasn’t mine or when I thought I had found someone who truly loved ME and ended up hurting my feelings and let’s not forget the endless delicious meals, laundry doing, hugs and kisses and #OfCourse the many injections that #Legit took a Sumo wrestler (which she became) to keep ME down. My Queen’s always been there
It is said in the Word that “He formed you before you were in your mother's womb” ( Jeremiah 1:5). I also believe while He was forming you, He really thought about who’s womb you would be in.
Thing is EVER mom is #Legit one of a kind. There’s something your mom does that no other mom can do. There’s qualities and traits that can only come from your mom and no one else. From those times she forgave you for breaking the fancy plates, or danced with you to that song on the radio just for just. A mom is a jewel.
I can remember once when I was young and going through that thing they call puberty and upset about life and all (which happens at that stage of life #I’mJustSaying). I told my mom I wished I belonged to another family and wasn’t a part of this one. Instead of consoling ME and understanding the period I was going through she wasted no time in giving ME a nice back hand, #HARD and said, I’m the only mother you’ll ever have so like it or not I’m here to stay”while crying from the back hand I looked up at her and saw the even deeper pain I had created in her eyes.
BUT #NoLies though she really is the only QUEEN I’ve ever have.There will be no one that understands ME like she does, who laughs with ME and at ME like she does and even though that wasn’t the last time I ever hurt her feelings she’s always been the only mom I have and quite frankly ever want. Your mom is #Dope #Legit she is BUT there’ll never be another AKC
You see MY QUEEN she has annoyed, irritated, pissed and just down right made ME so angry #LikeLegit it;s not a joke, BUT how much more has she made ME laugh louder than ever when her head was troubled, made ME comfortable when she was in no comfortable position herself, gave ME what I wanted at the time when what she wanted she could not have or obtain.
A QUEEN is a jewel whether you acknowledge her or not she’s a jewel and circumstances may occur, words can be said that are never forgotten or taken back BUT she’s a jewel.
I mean just think of the simple biology of it all. A human being carries another human being, a soul in her belly and cares for it like no words imaginable and YES with today’s current situation where a girl falls pregnant for all types of reasons it still doesn’t erase the simple biology that you have been connected to this one human being, this one female this one QUEEN since birth and so regardless she must still sit on her throne.
QUEEN #AKC I solute you, for being an amazing mom, great parent and a real jewel because without you in my head and always on my team and loving ME unconditionally like you do I’d never be the person I am or becoming.
We are all beautifully blessed in our form and shape as females however it’s the definition of what that word means. It’s our biology while alike still tells a different story in all of us #MokgoholeThulare, our fashion statements and what fashion means to us #Novelty, How it feels to be a woman #MichelleLima and our testimonies #SueBlackwell and it’s even our QUEEN #AKC that makes the role, form and shape of a female diverse and beautiful as she shapes the next generations of Queens
Celebrate the QUEEN you were. From the times you couldn’t sleep in the dark, to the times where you cried yourself to sleep because you thought you were not worthy of any good, the times where you thought no goodness would ever come in this life you live and even the athlete or actress you once were. Celebrate the QUEEN that you are. The beautiful eyes with those long Maybelline lashes the luscious lips, the beautiful full breasts, the thick and formed hips, the perfectly rounded ass, the long or short legs. The QUEEN you are growing into. Learning that you don't need many people to feel whole, learning to truly appreciate solitude, the great fondness you have for words and clothes, realizing that GOD is truly great ALL THE TIME and now is your time and if you feel it has not come yet stay close and connected to GOD so that He can prepare you for it.
Celebrate YOU
Thank-you AKC For allowing ME to never have the thought of a life without a Left or Right arm. For you have being an irreplaceable mom, parent and most of all an irreplaceable QUEEN
What the RIB is looking for?
Women are complicated beings #Seriously. If no one knew that I’m a women, girl, chick or maturing female adult behind this blog I am & I can #Honestly say women are complicated beings. The big question is why and did GOD know we would be like this?
Let’s go to the beginning shall we. GOD made the Garden of Eden and when He finished He said, “It is good”. He then took sand and formed a man in the ground and He created Adam. Now Adam wasn't lonely or needed someone to be naughty with. Adam was with GOD. He would never be lonely because GOD was always there. I think the reason why Eve was created from Adam’s rib #FYI (Genesis 2:22-23) is because every women posses the rib a guy needs.
“If that’s the case, why are you all so damn complicated?” Well you see I’ll be the first to admit that sometimes women just don’t know what they want. #Seriously we don't. We want to be loved, but not suffocated. To be kept but also have independence. To have a gentleman BUT he must also excite us. To be respected BUT at the same time we want him to know how to take charge. The list really goes on and we really just don’t know what we want when it comes to men. However just because we are indecisive about men doesn't mean it applies in all areas.
I’ll be honest, I can’t give you an exact reason why women are so complicated. I’m a women and I’m complicated and I don’t even know why at times BUT I’d like to think that women should be respected. This is shown through love.
Yes that cliche red heart makes women go crazy. We want love. Why? Well touch your rib. It’s strong BUT tender, firm BUT soft and not to mention it protects the heart and lung from any damage. It’s dynamic and that’s the thing with us women, we are dynamic. We are forever changing. So whether it’s learning and applying the latest trends to our closet or paying excessive amounts for someone else’s hair. We are forever changing and #LikeLegit it’s not a bad thing it’s just something guys don’t really understand.
You see the girl you mack on is not the same one that will be crying and stuffing her face with ice-cream and chocolate when you break her heart. I’m sorry she’s not. The girl you show your game too, will be sexy, fun, interesting and obviously flirt back BUT when she’s your BAE the standards change. Things have now changed. She expects more now. She expects LOVE, YES I said it, she wants the dangerous BUT no longer truly understood word and concept called Love. Why? Because her desire subconsciously is to see if she is your rib.
The next question is, did GOD know we would be like this? Let ME start by saying there are many categories of women. YES like it or not guys we are all NOT the same. We posses the same characteristics BUT act upon them in different ways. By characteristics I mean, we are all complicated, we are romantics, emotional the list goes on BUT we still have categories such as; -Hopeless romantic -Independent -Dependent -Baby Mama (nowadays...) -Girl Player -Major Trust Issues -”Christian girls” (Till this day I don't know what that means #LikeSeriously) And the most famous one of them all.. -The Gold Digger, YES she’s still around. All of these categories posses 50% of the same traits. Basically how we all behave towards the opposite sex. The rest of it is made up of their own personality, style, likes, dislikes all that jazz.
Now did the creator of the FIRST women know we would be like this? I’m gonna have to go with a rounding YES. GOD’s not dumb He knows how this complicated trait within all of us operates. I’m willing to bet He’s the only one that does.
SO now we know women are complicated and we know GOD knows how complicated women are #PointPlease...
Well if you know all this information why are we still not being treated as princesses of the Most High? Well firstly I think it is because we don’t love ourselves. Women have MAJOR insecurity problems #LikeLegit these things are a whole world on their own. It’s a sad BUT a true fact. We don’t love ourselves and loving yourself is the starting point for everything in life #Legit. We want to be thin because we think it’s in, then thick because it might be the right trick, tall so those clothes can fit from the mall and light because everyone says it’s right.
Insecurities really tear down at a women and it takes A LONG TIME for us to finally be comfortable within our skin. To look in the mirror and say, “I have these blemishes that won’t go away, this tummy that is flat BUT still not 100% right and these long legs that were once used for running and no African ass BUT you know what, I’m happy with all I have” It takes a long time to accept what we have and not contently cry when we see flited beautiful women on Instagram.
LADIES, Accept and Love what you have because it is the LORD who gave it to you.
You see women are a lot of things, A LOT BUT the one thing that is true within all of us is that we deserve to be treated and to act like we all come from the Most High. We deserve to be accepted for our dynamicness (if that’s a word), to be cared and most importantly to be loved. THAT’S why Eve was created from Adam’s rib. Not because he needed a companion, but because Eve was that one thing that he lacked and GOD knew this.
So put aside all the thoughts you have about women or yourself. Women might be complicated BUT at the rib of it all (no pun intended) we all seek love and once we receive it we give it back whole heatedly. YES you might have been hurt by a women, you might call us, “liars, “the same”, crazy and the obvious complicated” but when you find YOUR rib you will say, “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves.” 1 Corinthians 13:4
That’s what it means to find your rib. All the stereotypical views you hear and have are thrown out the window and what you are left with is Love. It’s what every women is ultimately looking for.
