Inspire ME!

In my belief I am inspired by the Man who insisted on a MUST GO through an otherwise UGLY place ... a place considered a ghetto ... of ill repute ...  YUP...

I am inspired by the story written in the BOOK about a Man who went through SAMARIA (an GHETTO place SHUNNED by the almighty goodies) and there in Samaria He met a woman of ill repute ... a DIRTY woman SHUNNED by many ... the otherwise UPPITY GOOD women of the times would have shunned her by virtue of the fact that she had to go to the well to draw water ... go figure that alone made her a low life back then ... to top it off she had gone through like 5 husbands already ... ohhhhhhh I can imagine the buzz BAN HER BAN HER GET RID OF HER SHE IS UNCLEAN, SHE IS NASTY, SHE IS A ***** GET RID OF HER.... but, but, but...

At that well in SAMARIA (the Ugly place) my sweet Jesus (my definition of Love) Went to Samaria and MET this Samaritan Woman dirty, unclean, BAD-ASS and unworthy woman and ASKED HER FOR A DRINK OF WATER?

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh how I love this ... HE, my GOOD SWEET JESUS... met her an unclean, shunned and unwanted woman by the mass of do-goodies ... he CHOSE the UNCLEAN and UNWANTED one and ASKED HER FOR A DRINK OF WATER ... 

oHHHH MY OH MY LOOK AT THIS.... He deliberately chose to affirm LIFE (ACCEPT HER) instead of overly zealous bigots that said this woman was not only immoral but ritually unclean when he asked her for the drink ....

OHHHHHHHHHH I SO LOVE LOVE LOVE AND EMBRACE DIVERSITY....

WHAT INSPIRES ME? DIVERSITY ... GIVE ME THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY ... I WANT IT ALL ... I HATE TO SIT IN A ROOMFUL OF PEOPLE WHO THINK LIKE ME/LOOK LIKE ME/ACT LIKE ME AND SAY WHAT I WANT TO HEAR ... I REFUSE TO KEEP MY CHILDREN HOME FROM SCHOOL BECAUSE THEY MAY MEET A BULLY IN SCHOOL ... I REFUSE TO REMOVE THEIR MOUNTAINS FOR THEM LESS THEY FAIL TO DEVELOP COPING MECHANISMS.... GIVE ME DIVERSITY OVER CENSORSHIP ANY DAY ...

ALL THIS LOOK ALIKE THINK ALIKE STARTS TO LOOK LIKE AN UGLY INCESTUOUS RELATIONSHIP AFTER A WHILE...

BLEED THE WOUNDS OUT AND CLEANSE THEM AND THEN BANDAGE THEM UP A START WITH A CLEAN SLATE ... COVERING UP AN INFECTED SORE WITH A BAND-AID JUST MAKES IT FESTER AND ROT...

SPRAYING PERFUME ON **** ONLY MAKES IT STINK TO HIGH HEAVENS ...

I FIND INSPIRATION IN HONESTY ... DIVERSITY AND MATURITY .... yup I love love love love to think than in the Samaria of my life I met a man at the well and He gave me living water and my life has changed since...

I have survived RAPE, ridicule, domestic violence in prior marriage, complete kidney failure and over 8 years of dialysis until a kidney transplant in my current marriage DH, forefoot amputation in my current marriage DH, daughter recently diagnosed with a chronic autoimmune disease Dermatomyositis/Polymyositis, son bipolar, and I ran an entire household as a woman of substance in the midst of all these challenges from my highest weight to this day ... under ALL the layers of FAT my substance, my character remained...

it was not always easy ... I cried.. I cursed God and I challenged Him until one day laying bloodied and on the floor where a kick was landed to my midsection I met a man at a well in the Samaria of my life ... right before losing consciousness ... and I asked for a new heart ... to love the people ... and my life has never been the same...

Now ask me why I embrace Joy... I hope My Story of the part of it I just shared will inspire one other sinner like me... thank GOD for not BANNING me! The Joy I have NO ONE  can take away frome me... I earned it and I live it ... by faith...
