FOR WOMEN ONLY!- has your man EVER...?

Hey Ladies!

It's time to talk again!

Recently, I watched the movie, "One Night With the King", again!

It is a biblical story of Hadasa, (later named Esther of Sousa, to hide her true identity) a Jewish Girl who had the favor of God. She went on to become "Queen Esther" of Persia! God used his wisdom, mercy and grace, to not only elevate Hadasa, but guided her, in her position to be the Queen, and Saviour to the Jews, having their lives spared. Her story reminded me of something.

Question? Ladies, HAS YOUR MAN

EVER CELEBRATED YOU?

Mind you, I am not talking about on a special occasion like your birthday, anniversary, mothers day or for make up after an argument. But just on any given day, at any given time!

HAS HE CELEBRATED YOOOUUU?

Hang in there women, we'll get to the point! Esther's' story was quite unusual, but that's how God works...often times in the "unusual". Though God, the Great "I Am", is a favorite subject of mine, he is not what I will be talking about to you now! But I do want to talk a little bit more about the movie because there is a particular scene in that movie that lifts my heart. AND it also makes me cry (in joy) every time I see it!

It is the scene when the King Xerxes, realizes he is in love with this woman in her innocence BEFORE she became his Queen and BEFORE he bedded her! He is enamored by not only her outward beauty, but by her inward beauty as well. Esther displayed grace, kindness, humility, strength, faith, wisdom and knowledge. She could read and speak different languages. Most women in her day, could not even read the basics! Because of the times, they were not allowed or thought of important enough to teach. But Esther, was being prepared for greatness! She didn't know it yet though. She also was not afraid to show her "true self." Not a facade of who he thought she was. She followed protocol yes! But her light did shine even still!

Question? How many of you are taking advantage of opportunities presented to you, to be the "BEST YOU", you can be!

Physically, she was healthy, well groomed. She partook in beauty regimes every day for 1 year! Every day she was perfumed, someone massaged oils into her body until her pores were seeping the oils and scents. (*Now maybe we all can't afford this kind of treatment, but we can do our best for ourselves!) Her hair was washed and combed. She wore beautiful clothes. She was taught etiquette about how to meet and greet The King, what pleases him, The King! (who later turned out to be HER KING, HER HUSBAND).

She knew table etiquette. She was taught the mandatory civilities upon meeting the King. She was intelligent, and well spoken, but not haughty! She was a delight to be around, for her keepers and even the other women! Even to the other women in the court awaiting their "one with the king", Esther was a delight to be around. Back to the King! King Xerxes could not believe his eyes, nor his ears when she was around! He also could not believe how she delighted his heart. The king, almost cried a couple of times (in the movie), because he was so happy to be in Esther's presence!

Here is this tough guy solider, a great warrior, KING, head of an empire and this gentle, but strong willed young woman just completely wins him over, bringing him to tears of joy! Not with sex, did she win him over, but with being true to who she was and letting the best of her come out. she was genuine, not fake! She was the best "Esther" she knew how to be, in the king's presence as well as when she was not! It should also be mentioned, that she was the best believer in God, the father, that she could be as well! But like I said, this post is not to discuss God. What is is about...is to discuss if you know that you are worth celebrating! YOU! A Woman.

Then, to be truly loved for just being "WHO YOU ARE!"

You should know that the King , didn't try to change Esther. He got angry at her, but never tried to change her! He knew that would have killed the very thing, he fell in love with her for in the first place! She challenged him! It was AWESOME TO SEE! She didn't back down or be crude and vulgar. She was humble, but she understood WHO SHE WAS! My gosh!

Women, has your man or a man, ever delighted in your presence?

ESPECIALLY, when you are just being you and not putting on airs to please? Come on Sister Girls, you know what I'm saying! Some of us women are SOOOO FAKE!!! So fake, that some of US don't want to be around our own kind, us women! Nothing about them is real except for the skin they're in!

Our attitudes, our laugh, our thoughts on particular subjects should reflect our true, rare selves! The way we carry ourselves when we are in his presence and the way we carry ourselves when we are not, should be the same. Shouldn't it? But whoever you are, you should be your best you! If the man you value, can't see this in you and greatly appreciate it, then...hmm! (Ladies, you have to fill in your own blanks, nobody can to do that for you.)

Has he ever been brought to tears because of a beautiful moment in his life with you?

Maybe he didn't cry, but he shared apart of himself with you, like never before?

Has he ever willingly (and even suggested) taken you around his closest friends, family and colleagues showing you off like a rare jewel?

Not out of arrogance or as a trophy, but out of pure joy!

Have you known him to enjoy stolen glances of you across a crowded room?

Has he ever made a fool of himself in public over you?

Have you ever seen him soften because he could not believe his eyes, his ears, nor the satisfaction that his heart got from being with you?

Have you ever seen or felt that from him?

Do you know?

I'm not saying your man HAS TO DO THESE THINGS, but when A MAN loves a woman "FOR REAL", there is a certain hidden place inside himself, that he reveals only to you! A Man's "genuine" love, you can feel it. You'll know! At least, that's what I think!

What about this, women? Have you ever shown the "real" wonderful and vulnerable sides of yourself to the man you love or have loved? Did you take him places inside of yourself...

(your past, your present, your dreams, your hopes and desires for your future, your likes and dislikes) that you've never taken anyone else? Did you show him your gentle side, Your strong side?... The side of you, you keep hidden from every body else? Does he know who you "truly are"?

Did you ever give him reason to celebrate you?

I ask you again!

Has your man or any man that you've loved or admired...

EVER CELEBRATED YOU?

Know that YOU ARE WORTH IT!

MEETTA TALKS!-THE DREAM I HAD

ONE WORLD POWER!

Question Reader,

What If...

Everything you knew in the world to be, completely changed?

I mean, all of a sudden, all around you....and you had absolutely no control?

Even in the way you communicated? Telephones, were openly bugged. The television shows you watched were being openly monitored and "turned off' without your consent.

Conversations in the public and private were openly monitored and recorded as well!

And you didn't know who to put any kind of confidence in!

What If...

You no longer freely could access the computer at your discretion?

Every time you got on the computer, lists of codes just ran up and down the screen and you had to get special permission from "the authorities" to access it even form your own home?

Alarms silently went off and someone was knocking at your door, hovering around in your neighborhood, in planes and copters over head.

You went to the library, The Main library or "other centralized, libraries, A public domain,was the only place you could go so that appropriate tabs could be kept on you.

When you would go there though, fighting among the crowds people traveling the sidewalks was common. People constantly seemed to be streaming in and out of this "centralized station."

You finally got your "appointment" to get on the computer was 12:00 noon, which would have been frustrating, but tolerable, considering it was 9:00 am when you inquired. Then you found out that The lady meant 12:00 noon, day after tomorrow and it took you 2 hours to get there in the first place, because you no longer had the freedom to drive your car!

What if...

You no longer had that freedom, because you stay in a designated area, for the rest of your life, because someone else thought, you no longer NEEDED that freedom!

Perhaps, they would think you a threat depending on your religious or political beliefs.

The streets were always crowded at certain times, though.

Control was place on everyone in what used to be the free world!

Censors that read your "eye ball" or retina for identification purposes.

Fingerprints were no longer taken!

When people had to be at certain places, they had to be there!

Those who needed to be in school, WERE IN SCHOOL!

There was no loitering! EVERYONE, had to be accounted for!

Armed, uniformed, Highly TRAINED guards or patrols were in every area, including at your job, the grocery store, (yes, there was a designated time that you could go)

It had to be after the time you had leisure activity.

"No one" was allowed to be "un-productive".

Being non-productive leaves room for idleness. If someone was allowed to be idle too long then revolts and a challenge of control takes of place.

thought you You had to 'MOVE ALONG' through life at someones else's say so.

What if...

All of the worlds currency was the same?

There was no competition among the trade.

Every country would be on the same footing, economically. How would that grab you?

Who would be in control of managing the WORLD'S BUDGET?

What do you think WOULD HAPPEN to the worlds economy?

What if...

We, every citizen in the city, county, country and the ENTIRE WORLD, was under

THE SAME GOVERNMENT?

I mean, What if ...

Obama was the President of the world,

Not just in the U.S.A.?

What If...

You no longer had "minor" heads of authority anymore?

There weren't anymore city council President's, Mayors, Governors, ...Just one select person,

backed up by a SELECT group?

What if...We had no Senate, No congress?

What If...

We are entering into that kind of living RIGHT NOW?

I need to pay closer attention to what's happening, to what's been happening in other countries

as well as in Washington. What about you?

Anyway, It's 1:42 in the morning Reader and at about 1:21 this morning, I got out of bed after having this kind of dream, came right to the computer and wrote it down.

The whole thing sounds like a movie script doesn't it?

But you know, some people think "THE WORLD IS ALREADY MOVING" towards a one world power! Have WE ALL BEEN SLEEPING TOO LONG and missed that in the politics around us?

Some political analysts have an opinion about it, as well as, some informed Christians! They believe that certain actions have already been taken! They say that in some countries in Western European areas particularly, the currency is combining. That has started already?

Those political showdowns and Christian political shows come back t my mind as I'm writing this to you! Hmm, I wonder why?

PEOPLE, what you read in the first part of this post, was the descritpion of a dream that I had through the night! It was SOOOO VIVID! Actually I know I was asleep for MOST OF IT. Then, it felt like I was "caught' between" sleep and being awake! The feeling was Just that,

I was caught in the middle! I was aware of the dream, but I was also VERY AWARE of my surroundings. I knew I was laying on the couch. I could "see" the stove light was on, (as I have an "open kitchen", just off my living room and dining room). The dream played out like it was something heavy and something I should be writing down? It was a lady in the library talking to me? She was the Desk person whose job it was to assign "appointment times" to use the computer! I SAW MYSELF in the library, standing up up on some rounded marble stairs, waiting my turn to make my appointment.

Why did I HAVE this dream? I didn't go to bed thinking about this stuff!

I actually went to sleep after discussing, on the phone with Delia, my Dear Friend, new

"Sister in Christ", and helper on planning my 3rd annual "Celebration of Women, As Beautiful Blessed Things"... I went to bed looking at the decorations that I had started to put up in my living room for the celebration. I closed my eyes looking at the tubes of facial mud and hand lotion, along with all of the other supplies strewn about on my living room tables! I was thinking about the menu for crying out loud! Like I said, I was thinking about other stuff! Stuff that was far, VERY FAR from ONE WORLD POWER! But...I am a writer!

So I write what comes. Though it is not for pay and is more of a personal passion, some call it

a gift, still I write! I put in many hours writing, re-writing and editing into each and every article. This IS LIKE A JOB for the time I put in! But hey, a passion is a passion and it requires much effort. Even in my sleep, I was given something "fascinating' to write about, although I HAVE NO IDEA where my writing is taking me! But still, I write.

Still concerned though...dreams, What do they really mean?

Bye! Meetta
