Come To Think Of It.....

Lingua!

Words to replace said, except this actually helps

I got pretty fed up with looking for words to replace said because they weren’t sorted in a way I could easily use/find them for the right time. So I did some myself.

VIVA!

James 3

Taming the Tongue

1 Not many of you should become teachers, my fellow believers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly.2 We all stumble in many ways. Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their whole body in check.

3 When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal.4 Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. 5 Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. 6 The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.

7 All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and sea creatures are being tamed and have been tamed by mankind, 8 but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.

9 With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness.10 Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be. 11 Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? 12 My brothers and sisters, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.

Two Kinds of Wisdom

13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. 14 But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth.15 Such “wisdom” does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.16 For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.

17 But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.18 Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.

Shalom.

I will be happy.

I will be healthy.

I will be financially stable.

I will prosper.

I will succeed.

Men!

As a Black Woman,

Yes I think some Black men are Hot. Yes I think some White Men are Hot. Yes I think some Asian men are Hot. Yes I think some Hispanic men are Hot. Yes I think some Middle Eastern men are Hot. Yes I think some Native American men are Hot. Yes I think some Mixed men are Hot!

I can be attracted to men of various backgrounds and still Love and fight for justice in my own race. I can like other men while calling out the evil ones too. Yes I can love the men in my own race and still call out their bs too!

I don’t put restrictions on myself and neither will any of you!

To being Woman.

I think about women a lot and the pain they share. I think about my mother's nights taking care of her sister, taking care of her mother's pain. I think about her cries when she miscarried the first time and how fifteen years later she still cries in the bathroom and barricades herself in a room when my father shouts.

think about my grandmother working in a factory fixing stockings for other women in the dark, talking to other tired women outside on the street. I think about her raising children and providing for the family, spending most of her life in the kitchen between pots and pans, riddled with cuts and burns and child bearing. I think about her abortion because she couldn't feed another mouth, because she was already starving.

I think about my great grandmother providing for a family with no husband around, carrying guilt, feeding the chicken, working two jobs, sleeping in a cold house with no lights on.

I think about the women I know who have blood on their thighs, from periods, from childbirth, from rape, from sex with violent men who don't care about them.

i think about the women in bathtubs filled with boiling water, drinking whiskey, using their own knitting needles and coat hangers and throwing themselves down the stairs.

I think about the women who get home and clean the house, wash the same dishes everyday, clean the same house everyday, raising the same children, crying secretly in their bathroom.

I think about the blonde woman on the street corner who I've seen being there for eight years now, waiting for violent men with violent fantasies, waiting for the next beating, the next police fine, the next chance to eat.

I think about a classmate who dropped out from sixth grade to go to Austria, to follow her mother, who went cried in the bathroom stall next to me, because she knew what is going to happen with her.

I think about the pain that women share, the pain they can't articulate, the pain that boils in them for all their lives, becuase it's never appropriate to let it out. wailing women at funerals burying what they made, wailing girls in bathrooms, wailing women alone in their houses.

their blood staining underwears, kitchen knives, bedsheets, thrown away condoms, being consumed from the inside out, because women's pain is natural, because there is greater pain out there, because only little girls cry, never adult women.

tell us tips of how to be a confident woman

To be confident you need to be a self sufficient individual in ALL aspects, from your finances, personal growth and self sufficient in your self esteem (others opinions of you have little to no relevancy on how you view yourself, your self-perception comes entirely from within).

A confident woman stands up for what she believes in and is not easily persuaded from her opinions or values by people. She doesn't worry about pleasing others but about getting her business done and making sure her presence is felt, regardless of who likes it or not. She owns and takes space without being overbearing. She is on top of her game and is constantly looking for ways to outgrow the person she was the day before.

Confident women are quiet, they don't feel the need to call the attention or announce their moves because they have nothing to prove, she relies on her internal knowing that she is capable of achieving the goals in her life and the applause of an audience is not needed.

A confident woman is proactive on keeping her physical appearance very polished, from the way she dresses to her commitment to being fit and healthy, not in an attempt to attract attention, but as a way of improving herself because she knows that her sense of self will be higher is she looks and feels good.

A confident woman has a resilient mentality, if she falls, she stands back up. If she feels distressed, she gets her emotions out and allows herself to feel all the emotions that make her human, but after that she's ready to move on and not allow her sentiments to overpower her rationale.

Confident women aren't easily impressed, they know their worth and who they are, so they expect others to impress them, the power dynamics are usually in their favor.

Confident women are intellectually proficient, they read and are masters of different subjects. They know that their brain is one of their main assets, so they keep pushing themself to exercise their intellect by learning new things constantly.

I could go on and on, but these are the things that come to my mind at the moment 💗.
