Let's be honest, how many of us are deeply honest to ourselves and our story? Most times we let others tell our story and most times they get it all wrong. Its up to us to tell our story. In fact, I feel that ---its one of our duties.
Well yesterday, I had a dear friend send me a invite to an event about relationships and etc. I am not sure why the friend sent flyer to me because I am not located in Atlanta, well then again I do travel a lot so maybe she thought I'd like to know about event. Anyhow---the event was hosted or so by a woman that was a Christian and the book is called, " Resurrect a hoe". I think thats the title. First and foremost---anytime I am invited anywhere to any event I look at people's credits. I don't mind if a person does not have formal education---but there better be something that helps me get to what you are teaching about. Well this woman ---was going to talk about relationships, yet she is not married. For me case closed. I was not attending her event.
However, there is a deeper point I'd like to make from this story based on the title of a Book. The author said she wrote the book for other Christian "hoes" and that it would help them. For me something just does not feel right about that title and about out right claiming it when in fact from the authors view---she is a woman that had depression, low self esteem, materialistic, etc. So to call herself and her readers a "hoe" was accepting a negative energy. My advice for the pastor would be to operate from a place of love, a whole heart, with her readers and herself. You were not a "hoe" nor your readers, you were in pain and you needed God to help you. Don't identify with a negative name--in exchange for a positive direction.
I am relating this all back to acting...when we act, regardless ---if our characters are "good" or "bad" we must operate from a whole heart. We must see the love point of view from our roles.
We must judge our characters based on names---we need to understand them with no judgement. Most of all we must not judge ourselves for our POV.
Also ppl---we must check the sources of our leaders. Everyone is not qualified.
