On FIRE

As I write, I am hoping I will figure out why I am writing this. At this point in time, I haven’t a clue. 🤦‍♀️

Last night, I had a rude awakening to my vulnerability as a female…in relation to a male.

At ten minutes to ten…a strange man walked into my store while I was alone getting ready to close it up. Immediately after opening the door, he quickly turned around and locked the door. I didn’t see that one coming. 😳

Long story short…he was pranking a female who was slowly coming behind him. It ended on a positive note, but I am still processing the whole thing. Give me lemons…I will make lemonade…and put some honey in it to make it sweet.

My friend called this morning, I shared the experience with him. He said something that has been on my mind all day. He said this…if you were my wife…you wouldn’t be working there. It is a dangerous job. He then went on to relate to me real-life stories, things he would do, and concerned words.

Comforting words for sure. So appreciative of that kind of heart coming from a man.

My Question Though

Here is where my mind has gone today…why do I need a man to protect me from a man?

Doesn’t that plan seem a bit messed up to you? It does to me.

Why create a man? 🤔

Then I thought about Adam and Eve…everyone rags on the woman Eve…because she fell into sin and caused us to all be cursed. But WHO is asking about Adam? Where was he when he was supposed to be protecting his wife? The weaker partner?

Where are the men who are protecting their wives?

Almost daily, I have married men hitting on me. It is mind-boggling to me. They might have a decent marriage if they would expend the same amount of energy investing in their wife instead of trying to hook up with other women.

Isn’t that common sense???

Did I miss a memo somewhere?

Where did common sense run off to in this society?

What happened to men being strong of heart and mind? The stronger gender? What happened to manhood? Men raising boys up to be men? To become mature and trained in how to treat a woman like she is a lady…and I am not meaning a lady of the night?

Amazement

I am always amazed when men can’t understand why feminists are condescending to them. Can the real men stand up, please?

You want a woman to respect you, honor you, and think highly of you? Ok…well, show us something respectable, honorable, or anything that leads us to think highly of you.

Pretty simple math there buddy. 🤷‍♀️

Take a stand and stand on your own two feet, please. Stand on the truth. Clean your heart up…your mind up…and wash your penis and put it away because your manhood needs to be harder than your penis, please…to impress this woman.

I missed a great opportunity to become a feminist. My daughters and I have discussed this at great length already. I am not one…but how that failed to play out can only be attributed to Christ Himself. He is ALL man.

Light…Fire

Today was a super productive day despite having to work a few hours on my day off. While running errands, I had to stop by my daughter’s house. As I was driving there, I turned the radio on…this is a RARETY for me. One of my favs came on, Green Day’s Boulevard of Broken Dreams. I prefer to roll with the windows down. With them down and Green Day on…the radio volume went up. I have a long list of reasons for loving this song…one reason is the drums…especially near the end of the song. With it blaring…the drums feel like my heartbeat. PUMPS me up inside. Ok…so now I am PUMPED…the blood is flowing.

When I hop back in the truck, Fall Out Boys…My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light Em Up) started. WOW…it felt like my veins started burning. Like I was lit up and on fire. I am seriously thinking of making this an anthem song. It feels true to me…like I am a woman on fire. I see Wonder Woman. A Warrior Queen. LET’S TURN THOSE LIGHTS ON and watch those cockroaches scurry!!!!! I am going to thoroughly enjoy the show this time.

Seems so crazy to me how in less than 24 hours, I can go from feeling vulnerable and weak to feeling powerful and invincible. Tonight, I feel indestructible and like I am burning with fire. Still trying to decide if I am burning up with the fires of Heaven or Hell…or maybe BOTH.

The truth remains to be seen. 🤔

I AM COMING!!! ON FIRE…the light is bright…blinding bright. 🔥
