Finally understanding … "Woke Up this Morning With My Mind On Jesus" (2013) Mavis Staples

"Fret not thyself because of evil doers"  This world will always be full of poisonous vipers, most of the ones we are forced to face are indeed blood kin.  Do know that is precisely why they target you. It is much easier to identify a predator you don't love.  We love our kin and when you love a terrifying predatory monster your goose is cooked.

I'm a walking, talking miracle! I am proof that GOD does exactly what [HE] says; The Holy Spirit saves IF we permit.

My own mother bragged about selling "lip reducing" cream at sixteen.  She put plain old cold cream in jars and made beautiful labels.  Swore she invented a concoction that could reduce the size of some one's lips.

I asked her why, she explained; "Shit! Niggas 'shame of they big ass sausage You-bangy lips   … I just took advantage and made some money."

Was my mother wrong for doing that?   I'm not so sure, she didn't pull a gun on them.  Why were they so ashamed of their lips?  Be careful of what you believe about yourself.

My mother tried to convince me that I was "too dark" for sixty-two years.  I never agreed with her. My grandfather taught me to love my "color". I think I wear my color well.

It doesn't matter how much money we have, how much wealth we accumulate on this earth.  My mother died and left thousands of things.  They tell me her sons rolled up in Uhaul trucks before the funeral! How disgusting!

I don't know why but, I know my own mother stalked me like a ravenous dog for long decade after decade, was my worse possible enemy but,  GOD kept me!

REVERSE THE CURSE!

"COME YE OUT FROM AMONG THEM!"
