I named this blog "Rising From The Ashes" because I believe every woman has the capability of coming back from the so-called ashes of "death" from life's circumstances.
Whenever life "kills" us with situations with our family, friends, those that claim to "love" us, job losses, church hurts, community breakdown, and just the chaos of life - women have had to learn how to resurrect themselves.
Why, you may ask?
Because God entrusted us with the carrying on of life. Yes, it takes man to seed our womb, but he is simply a contributor. Woman (or womb-man) carries and sustains WITHIN herself. She is the first influence a child ever has, good or bad. We have within us the capability to carry, sustain, build and design life. Why should death be any different? He has also given us the greatest capacity to Love.
What else but a woman's love can get a man to step up to the plate and do what is right, not just for himself, but for his family? What else but a mother's love, can get a child to see the error of his way, and face correction and discipline? We are considered the "weaker" vessel, but then Paul, in 2 Corinthians 12:10 says "for when I am weak, then am I strong."
I was watching Alien vs Predator, and the character that Sanaa Lathan plays, Lex, comes to the realization that even though the Predator has the power to kill her, she also has the power to help him defeat his other enemy. She proves herself in battle so much, the Predator realizes, she is not prey, she is a hunter, just as he is. He marks her as such, to let any of his brethren know: "this woman is my equal, for she kills just as I did. I respect her for doing so."
We have power, ladies - resurrection power, staying power, standing power, coming-back-from-the-death-you-tried-to-put-me-through power, giving power, loving power = GOD'S POWER.
It's time to take back what is ours. Rise from the Ashes - and use your power!
