All that which ain't Black Girl Magic

-

In my person I am working on week seven of fifty-three weeks of rebuilding biblical foundations: A year long study of Genesis 1. But in my spirit it’s already done! This week our Key Word is SPIRIT and know I have never sat down to write about the working of the Holy Spirit in this my one life but I’ve shared a many life stories of his movements over the years with folks, family, friends and foes. 

Many folks, friends and foes are forever seated on the bandwagon of MYSTICS and MAGIC in regards to the Holy Spirit but this black girl sits with the MASTER until HE molds and makes my crooked paths straight. 

I know the word MASTER makes many of you and maybe even me think back to a time when our ancestors were slaves. I get it! But what we need to know and fully understand for most black women and a few white women, that's is exactly where and when it all started. The it I'm speaking of is the relational comforts some folks are privileged to enjoy and other folks only dream of. 

It is my supposition that the black woman's relational priority with the slave master was the very beginning of the black woman's relational priority with the MASTER. 

When asked to do a certain thing Simon refers to Jesus as MASTER!

And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net. Luke 5:5

Due Anti-literacy laws in these United States of America, over time black people developed a unique dependency on The Holy Ghost who is also The person of The Holy Spirit!

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28

It ain't MYSTICS or MAGIC but a healthy regard for The MASTER Gardener. 

Now the Lord God had planted a garden in the east in Eden. — Genesis 2:8

It ain't MYSTICS or MAGIC but relational priority with the MASTER. 

And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. Genesis 1:2

Due Anti-literacy laws in these United States of America, over time black women developed a unique dependency on The Holy Ghost who is also The person of The Holy Spirit!

This unique dependency on and in The person of The Holy Spirit coupled with the word which became flesh  plus an innate heart's desire to please The MASTER at all times is the Inheritance which fuels and fortifies all that which ain't Black Girl Magic. 

With all that said our Study of the Key Word Spirit and The person of The Holy Spirit begins today.

We are CELEBRATING 150 YEARS of READING & WRITING for the entire month of July! Part of our celebration includes the sharing of 31 Black Women Writers for 31 Days of July! And, please, please be not surprised when you find me closing out the pack and the month, as not only a writer but a publisher, a photographer and a production artist extraordinaire for the cause of Christ Jesus. This is how we do it!  I did some research and it seams to me, it's been somewhat legal for black folks to read and or write for right at one hundred and fifty years or at least since 1870! Praise be to God, Anti-literacy laws are no longer  prevalent here in the land of plenty! Also, please know and understand many white people sacrificed much in opposition to the law of the day, to teach black people to read and write.  And finally, please know and understand, it's a one-sided thing to read the thoughts and  ideas of others, while it's a whole other animal to form thoughts, ideas an...

I adopted my One Word 365 for the year 2024!

  The other day, I adopted my one word for the year. This is a practice I have participated in since 2009. Sadly, most years I selected one word which pertained to something I wanted to accomplish. And, there was even a year, I selected one word of the name of a person I wanted my year to focus on. But, this year I am intentionally turning my focus to who I currently am in Christ Jesus! Since returning to the city of Murfreesboro on 15 October of 2021, I have come to understand and realize the nature of my departure (Covid Times) and the true nature of my return. Since, I was working at Screen Art, I though working there was the reason for my return, until I found myself surprisingly not fired, but replaced without reason, on January 6th of 2023. This replacement without reason, exactly a month from the date of my sister's surgery, all but destroyed our finances, as we had also just moved into a larger condo. But, the Lord was with us and thankfully we were moved by the spirit to p...

These Days: I'm learning: How to Design a Screen Printed T-Shirt in Adobe Illustrator ! And it's so much more than this! As the language is different. I learned the basics of Adobe Illustrator while a student at Nashville State, twenty years ago. Then I used those basic skills, while working in the newspaper industry. Then, back in 2008, I started blogging. Well, here we are.  The first thing I need to get a handle on is all of the basic positions a design can be placed on a shirt! Y'all, I had no idea, there were so many!
