Who told you women should be silent in the church?
Who told you pants were unacceptable attire in the sanctuary, but wearing skirts and dresses somehow meant you were holy?
Who told you that women were not allowed or should not have equal footing in the pulpit?
Who told you how a "good girl" should conduct herself?
Who told you that living right was better than living well?
Who told you that sacrifice down here would get you a reward up there?
Who told you that position squashes passion?
THE CHURCH.
Who is telling you that your inner voice is piercing to the status quo, if only you are brave enough to allow it to be heard?
Who is telling you that your attire is not an indicator of your worth, but simply an expression of your beauty and personality?
Who is telling you that the passion, the cries, and the groans of a woman cannot be contained in a pulpit, classroom or any other space?
Who is telling you that being chaste does not a good girl make; but a woman who is in touch with all of her being: mind, emotions and sexuality, is powerfully boundless?
Who is telling you that entrepreneurship, forward thinking and independence are tools to living well in the here and now?
Who is telling you that every day you can experience a little bit of heaven as you walk along the earth?
GOD IS. In all of her splendor.
Ponder that!
Now walk it out...
