A woman belongs in the kitchen

This has been a problem for me for a very long time. Studying history through out high school also opened my eyes to appreciate and respect myself as a woman more and to start sharing my opinions and what I stand for. Why is it that men believe that they we as women are supposed to be limited to the kitchen and household activites? Were you blessed with a different brain than we were as it been proven that you are able to make better decisions that us? No, quite the opposite actually. Now men continue to believe that women only cause problems when it is those same women who have keep them grounded in this world. Don't get me wrong we have our bad ways but are men perfect?? You know why this saying continues to be used because women are accepting it and subject themselves to this and don't push themselves to make a better life for themselves. We are viewed as the ones to clean the house,cook the food and provide the man with all the sexual desires he wishes to be met. Men use this saying as a banner to continually have power for us when a woman can make them so weak with just a gentle touch from her hands.

The years have passed but as future generations come up the saying still lives on. It isn't primarily the fathers who are teaching their sons this way of thinking but the mothers who fail to show in their actions that we are far more than what men have placed us as and described us as. I will hold to the hope that many more women will step away from this way of thinking and continue to value themselves and strive to empower themselves

Church ministry without God

Have you ever been to a church service and when the singers are singing you feel nothing? You can hear the words coming out of their mouths but they have no conviction whatsoever? Music is one of the most important parts of church ministry and if God isn't in it, it shouldn't be called Gospel music to begin with. Some singers in church sing for self! They know they are blessed with beautiful voices so they use the church to showcase it but it isn't about ministry. It is simply to let people know what they have going on. They stand before you and they have blank expressions on their faces, while they sing such powerful lyrics. They aren't moved by it but they somehow expect that the congregation will be. The next issue is that of the modern day Gospel music. Call me old fashion but it isn't my flavour at all. Why should I have to be wondering whether I'm listening to Gospel or I'm at a dancehall event? Why does the church have to change itself to resemb...

Be more thankful

It's so easy for us to complain it's like we do it everyday. Are we more thankful for the blessings we have no matter how small they seem? It seems to me that more than ever people are more ungrateful than they are grateful. No matter how bad things are always remember that they could be much worse. Our house isn't big so we complain rather than be thankful that we have a house. Our pay cheque is small so we complain rather than be thankful that we have a job. Our skin isn't flawless so we complain instead of be thankful that we still have our skin to protect our bodies. Our body isn't sculpted perfectly so we complain instead of being thankful that all our body parts are still functioning. Our world is very ungrateful and we can never seem to be satisfied no matter how many blessings we have. This week I ask of you to be thankful for something everyday no matter how small it may seem.

This World

A world where people don't love you if you can't supply them with all the material things they need. A world where people marry just to get citizenship in a country. A world where the most educated aren't the ones given the best of jobs. A world where the television and internet are left to teach our children values. A world where the leaders of the church spend more money on church buildings tha n feeding the poor. A world where children receive guns before they receive a book to read. A world where in one half of the world people fight for an apple to eat while in the other we pick,choose and refuse what to eat. A world where we cry when we have no new clothes or shoes but some have never felt the warmth of a shirt and pants on their cold flesh. A world where politicians get increases in pay while the citizens are placed on wage freeze for years. A world where everybody proclaims they can't trust anybody. A world where girls value are always occupied with their look...
