I take that back Monicat. I just realized it was Misty who said it. I didn't know her link was clickable, but when I did click it, it helped me see a passage that I've read several times more clearly. You're a proflic writer, Misty. I love your sentence structure and cadence, especially when you said it this way:
1 and 4.
In the church too.
In homes we love.
Kids we know.
living in fear.
Are we willing to stand up for our people?
You definitely live up to Proverbs, and I'm not talking about the cliche Proverbs 31, but this one instead: NKJV | Pr 27:17 As iron sharpens iron, So a man [or woman] sharpens the countenance of his [her] friend. I felt challenged, inspired, and improved. You definitely aren't a woman who usurps authority but calls men to task to use their authority to fight the spiritual war, just as Deborah called Berak to task.
I especially liked the way you said, "Are we willing to stand up for our people?" It isn't just men standing up, it's men and women standing strong together.
There's so much to say about what you said, but overall, it was well written and totally inspired, and again, I was inspired.
Thank You.
