FOR MY SISTA'S!! -- SARAH'S & HAGAR'S DAUGHTERS

For all My Friends


Father, I ask you to bless my sister reading this
right now! Lord, show her a new revelation of Your
love and power. Holy Spirit, I ask You to minister to
her spirit at this very moment.   Where there is pain,
give her Your peace & mercy.  Where there is self
doubting, release a renewed confidence in Your ability
to work
through her.

Where there is tiredness, or exhaustion, I ask You to
give her understanding, patience, & strength as she
learns submission to Your leading. Where there is
spiritual stagnation, I ask You to renew her by
revealing Your nearness, and by drawing her into
greater intimacy with You.
 
Where there is fear, reveal Your love, and release to
her Your courage.  Where there is a sin blocking her,
reveal it, and break its hold over my
sisters' life. Bless her finances, give her greater
vision, and raise her  up as a leader, and friend to
support, and encourage her. Give her discernment to
recognize the demonic forces around her, and reveal to
her  the power you have in You to defeat it.
 
I ask You to do these things in Jesus' holy name!
In Christian love,
 

Your sister in Christ

Define Me 

I am a beautiful Black woman 
Living in a society that wishes to mold me 
But my self-respect won't allow anyone but myself 
To define me. 

I don't have a need to be trendy 
Insubstantial judgments rarely do offend me 
I am who I am 
I choose freely who I wish to be 
It is not hard to fathom 
How I define me. 

I don't need to speak in Ebonics 
Pretending to be hooked on phonics 
Just to get in where I fit in 
With shallow cliques and deceitful friends 
God made me beautifully articulate, you see 
And I define me. 

I don't need a man standing by my side 
To attain a sense of self-pride 
A strong man's love is a commodity to be known 
But before a man undermines my strengths 
I'd gladly stand alone. 

Do I possess weaknesses 
Yes, that's for sure 
But what makes me the queen I am 
Is my ability to endure. 

You see, I define me 
Though it's not always done easily 
Because the perils of a weak society 
Often catch us in an unjust propriety. 

They say an educated 
Black woman is something to be feared 
But as she chooses her path and defines who she is 
She is something to be revered. 

I was not presented with a silver spoon 
At the time of my birth 
But I didn't wait around for the world to determine 
My intrinsic worth. 

I chose to stand out 
Never waiting for a hand out 
I chose never to wait on destiny 
When I was perfectly capable of defining me. 

Intrigued by my intrepidity 
Some ridicule the woman I am 
If it weren't my own sisters and brothers 
Hey, I might not give a "hoot". 

You see, I define me 
Please take off your blinders and see 
This world won't give credit where it's due 
Until you stand on your own 
And decide to define you. --Unknown
