We are Precious!

Lee Daniel's movie Precious will come out this friday Nov 6th. I can not wait to see it. But not a lot of people are excited. I was reading an interview with the cast and director Lee Daniels said that black people are thirsty for the truth. Wow some of the blacks I know do not want to know the truth. I think that is why some people are avoiding it. To stand up and not be ashamed takes courage and faith. It sometimes that another person to offer support and kindness. It hard to find those things today! I say everyone should see the movie and think about our self love and self acceptance. I will write on this again after I see the movie. Remember we are Precious in his sight!

Prayer works!!!

Prayer works point blank! I was happy to hear the testimony of the robber who gave the bullets over to the woman he had at gun point! As I watched GMA and Oprah it was wonderful to hear that God sees and hears and answers!! Have faith, believe and pray! It works!!!
Praying for you now as you read this blog.

Chris Rock in my hair!!!

Comedian Chris Rock has a new documentary called Good Hair. It seems that some black women are upset!!!!

As I watched the Oprah show, women were on skype, sending emails and in the audience and they were angry! One women said that Chris is giving away our secrets! What secrets? That we have a desire to be beautiful, have healthy, gorgeous hair even if some of it is purchased!

Chris broke it down and said: I am paraphrasing, at the end of the day do you!!! What matters most is on the inside! That is what counts. God sees the heart and knows your works! The creator of the universe does not care about length, texture, smooth edges or your kitchen! So therefore rock your hair ANYWAY!! If it is your hair cool, if you bought the hair that's cool too!

What would happen if Jesus came back and said I am looking for inner beauty and you are lacking in your inner beauty? You can't buy a hair weave for the soul! Let's make this a call to action and work on our inner beauty. It would be a shame if Jesus came back and we are pretty on the outside but tore up on the inside!

Keep your eyes on the Prize!!!

President Obama received the Nobel Peace Prize last week and there are some who are pissed! Wow, this black man can't win for losing! It is my belief that some of the discourse is because he is black! I said some, please let me explain. If we go back into history when Dr. King won the prize probally the same veribage or even worst! Back then the N word was in common use.

Critics say he has not been in office long enough and he has not achieve anything. Well I have been going to the gym faithfully and I have not lost any weight but I am giving all my effort and I am making progress. Should all of that be in vain?

The committee likes President Obama's speeches. OK now I think this is interesting. They like his talk about peace. Words are heavy and they can change things! President Obama talks a good game and I feel that he can bag it up! I am looking at this as the things yet to come!

The Israelites had faith in a God they never seen and that God delivered them from slavery.

The Nobel Committee has faith in a man that has words and compassion of peace. Who else out their on his level is standing up for theirs??? ( I mean humanity)


I have no doubt in my mind that President Obama can not deliver, so let's keep our eyes on the prize!!!

Peace, Brenda ( and I really do mean PEACE)
