I am a Woman

The reasons I choose this way of life....why it is I do this. In response to the many comments and questions I am continually asked by America's self centered mentality, "Why do you do this to yourself???"...referring to why I have let myself become "overrun" with children and "wasted my life away" giving all of my time to a ton of little ankle biters. And to the many statements, "You need to take time for yourself. You've given enough years of your life to children. Now go have some fun and do what you want to do....without kids!" And, yes. I have had all of those very things said to me on numerous occasions. I thought this was a fitting response...despite the fact that most of the people that have ever questioned it will never read this.


I am a woman. My willingness to carry life is the revenge, the antidote, the great rebuttal of every murder, every abortion, every genocide. I sustain humanity. Deep inside of me, life grows. I am death's opposition. I have pushed back the hand of darkness today. I have caused there to be a weakening tremor among the ranks of those set on earth's destruction. Today a vibration that calls angels to attention echoed throughout time. Our laughter threatened hell today.


I dined with the greats of God's army. I made their meals and tied their shoes. Today I walked with greatness, and when they tired I carried them. I have poured myself out for the cause today.


It is finally quiet but life stirs inside of me. Gaining strength, the pulse of life sends a constant reminder to both good and evil that I have yielded myself to Heaven and now carry its dream. No angel has ever had such a privilege, nor any man. I am humbled by the honor. I am great with destiny.


I birth the freedom fighters. In the great war, I am a leader of underground resistance. I smile at the disguise of my troops, surrounded by a host of warriors, destiny swirling, invisible yet tangible, and the anointing to alter history. Our footsteps marking land for conquest, we move undetected through the common places.


Today I was the barrier between evil and innocence. I was the gate keeper watching over the hope of mankind, and no intruder trespassed. There is not an hour of day or night when I turn from my post. The fierceness of my love is unmatched on earth.


And because I smiled instead of frowned the world will know the power of grace. Hope has feet, and it will run to the corners of earth, because I stood up against destruction.


I am a woman. I am a mother. I am the keeper and sustainer of life here on earth. Heaven stands in honor of my mission. No one else can carry my call. I am the daughter of Eve. Eve has been redeemed. I am the opposition of death. I am a woman.

I am hell's worst threat. The army is birthed. It grows, is trained, gains strength and surges around me while in my care. Great yet undetected is the work I do.
