What are we teaching our little girls?

By -
Last week a friend had this picture posted on his facebook page. I was so upset by this. It's interesting how many comments he got on his page but when I shared it, no one commented. But whatever. The comments on his page were that of shock and disbelief. I then shared it on my twitter and a lot of my followers asked me if this is something that was real or just a joke. I'm pretty sure this is a real product. I searched for it but I really couldn't find anything about the manufacturer.

But what makes me so sad is that there are some mothers out there who actually bought this for their daughters thinking it was cute.  Really? is this something you want to give a 6 or 7 year old as a gift?  What are you imparting into that child by sowing this gift in her life?

Being an exotic dancer is NOT all it's cracked up to be.  Sure the money may be good, in the beginning, but that "high" soon wears off.  You may remember the movie "The Players Club"....yea that movie was real. That's what it's like. Jealousy, backstabbing, abuse, you name it.......It's so much more than just taking your clothes off for money. Sure that's what happens at first but if you get stuck in it long enough, you will be doing more than just taking your clothes off.  Prostitution happens about with about 1 in 4 dancers.  Alcohol and drug abuse also are a part of that lifestyle. Having to deal with sick & perverted men day after day, night after night, really takes a toll on you. Let's not even mention the stalkers and those customers that become obessed with you. That type of things forces you to find different ways to drive home to avoid being followed.

Yea the money is quick and fast but at what cost? There is nothing glitzy or glamourous about the life of an exotic dancer.  Most girls have signed up just to pay there way through college....but several years after graduation they are still stuck in the life.  Why are we setting our little girls up for something like that?  They are worth so much more then this.....Please don't twist my words....I'm NOT saying exotic dancers are worthless....I'm saying we need to teach our girls at a young age how precious they are. What happened to us telling our lil girls how they can be doctors and lawyers and business owners?  Why does it seem like they are being encouraged to be video vixens and hotties on the cover of magazines?

Let's also teach our young boys that women are not objects. The same way they are smackin on some chicks booty or talking explicitly about what they did to some chick......someone could be doing and saying the same thing about their sister or cousin.

Thanks for allowing me to vent.

Be blessed

Wrestlemania....

This last week I was kind of in a funk…not funky lol but just feeling blah.   I let the cares of my world get to me. I had to fall asleep listening to music because my mind would not slow down long enough for me to fall asleep.   Yesterday evening I found myself sitting in my room in the dark with the door closed….just…didn’t even know what I was thinking…… I got up this morning and said my prayer as I got ready for work….it was a tough morning because Nazir seemed EXTRA cranky. Surprisingly, I didn’t let that get to me. As I drove to work I had Pastor Lloyd Pulley tuned in on my radio.   But I really wasn’t listening.   All of a sudden something hit me…….no not a car thankfully. The Holy Spirit hit me.   He was like “child of God what are you doing?”   He didn’t need to say much more after that.   I was like you right.   I began to encourage myself.   I began to speak against this funk and call it out of me.   I told the enemy he ne...

Not Just visitation.........

By -
So this morning while I was praying....I asked God to never let me leave His presence. I don't just want visitation but i want habitation.  I asked Him how do I do this. He asked me what does Psalm 34:1 say? I said it says: I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. He said well you know that I inhabit the praises of my people (according to Psalm 22:3). I said yes Lord.  Then He responded live Psalm 34:1. If you continually praise me, I will inhabit your praise.The word continually means without cessation or intermission; unceasingly; always. The word inhabit means to live or dwell in (a place), as people; to exist or be situated within; dwell in.  When we always have a praise of thanks giving for God, He will dwell within us....Many times we complain that we don't feel God's presence. Are you praising Him?  Are you blessing His name?  Praise is not something you do on Sunday morning "when the beat drops". You ...

An Eating Disorder? Really?

By -
So today I was talking to one of my sisters on twitter. She asked me if I know a good recipe for vegetable lasagna. I told her I am the wrong one to ask about any kind of recipe that includes vegetables. We joked and a couple more sisters joined in saying how I much I love sugar cookies, cupcakes, ice cream & sweet tea from the Chinese food place. Then it hit me: that is nothing to brag about.   Those four things contain nothing but sugar.   Where is the sustenance? I joked them and said y’all gonna make me write a blog about this. As I was washing the dishes, God dealt with me on this.   He was like Jenelle you have an eating disorder. *Insert record scratch sound* HOLD UP!!!!! I dropped the dish rag and looked up like “say what!” As I stood there washing the dishes, I scrubbed the plate so hard like I was trying to eliminate what God just told me.   God I HAD two eating disorders: I don’t starve myself on purpose nor do I throw my food up after I eat. So what a...
