The Militant Diva

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me... {Phil 4:13}

About Me

What do you pray for when there's so much that needs a miracle from God?
What do you do when you feel so deeply that your soul aches?
What do you say to a child when they ask with tears in their eyes, 'But why don't they wanna play with me?'
How do you react to the fact that you h?ve no choice but to pay for a war you totally oppose?
You stop wishing for a better day, stop ingoring the hate, get off your ass and YOU START A REVOLUTION...
Am I an angry woman because I call myself a militant?
No, I am a woman that loves life and would do what she could to enjoy it to the fullest while representing the kingdom of God.
Am I a racist woman because I raise my fist and say with pride 'Black Power'?
No, I am a woman that opposes racism but encourages pride of your heritage while respecting the positive legacy other races wothout forgetting the negative aspects as well. Hiding or ignoring the past only causes us to repeat the past. Remove HIStory and replace it with the REAL story...
Do I hate America because I believe in aspects the Socialist Order?
No, I am proud told be an American, although I am ashamed of our actions and our president, but I truly believe that every person deserves the same opportunities regardless of thier socio-economic class.
Do I allow the hate to fester within while dealing with life?
No, I smile as often as I can and enjoy the simple pleasures, treasures, and blessings of life.
For me, God, family, friends, music, and love are the most important things in life. Everything else is just enhances these things.
Peace and Blessings
My Favorite Scripture
Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Your presence?
If I ascend into heaven, You are there;
If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.
If I take the wings of the morning,
And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
Even there Your hand shall lead me,
And Your right hand shall hold me.
If I say, “Surely the darkness shall fall on me,”
Even the night shall be light about me;
Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You,
But the night shines as the day;
The darkness and the light are both alike to You.
For You formed my inward parts;
You covered me in my mother’s womb.
I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.
My frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.
And in Your book they all were written,
The days fashioned for me,
When as yet there were none of them.
How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!
How great is the sum of them!
If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand;
When I awake, I am still with You.
- Psalms 139:7-18

--King James Version of the Bible

“Even as a tree has a single trunk but many branches and leaves, there is one religion--human religion--but any number of faiths.”
--Mahatma Gandhi
