Singer. Actress. Poet. She is Jill Scott.
One of my favorites is No 1 Ladies Detective Agency where she was Precious Ramotswe. She was a woman trying to make it in a man’s world. She was smooth as silk and inspired others.
But she is more than the characters she plays. She is strength, passion and humor.
She is a Warrior
for the rest of 2019, I will be working on #GirlPower and #Sheis
It will speak to who we are as women and what we can accomplish. She will go to battle prepared or unprepared. She will fight with everything she’s got. She will fight until she slays you or dies. She does not give up.
Community
This week I was reminded that we are to live as a community, supporting one another.
This week I got the opportunity to love on a friend of mine as she mourned the loss of her father. I understand her grief as I continue to mourn the recent loss of my mother. Grief is a journey you can get lost on if you are not careful. I believe that is why God has us in communities of people, so that we can support each other as we go through this process.
I have a high priest who understands this type of pain. Although the story is not in the Bible, it is implied that He understands the loss of a parent because his earthly father, Joseph was not around during the time of Jesus’ ministry on earth. Jesus gets this journey on earth and knows that we are better together. It is the second greatest commandment: love your neighbor as yourself.
God blessed me with the opportunity to know not only the daughter, but the mother as well. Over the last couple of years, I got to know her mother while serving in leadership with her working for God’s kingdom. It took me a while to make the connection that I was serving with my friend’s mother. But I was not surprised because awesome women create more awesome women.
I went to bless them, and they were the blessing to me. When times are hard, the Lord will send a community of believers to hold you up. Let them. We mourn together. We laugh together. We pray together. Each day He give us what we need. Each other. We are much stronger than we think we are.
