I will be soon watching
the film/documentary The Great Silence: Rape in Congo, when appx 300 women, men and boys were raped in July/August 2010. ((( I am basing my group therapy project on PTSD, sexual trauma in African Women inspired ( though this word is not rightly fitting in) by this horror mass- rape.
When doing my research--'this horror has been going for 'forever'. I hate this with a passion. I use the word 'hate' in VERY RARE occasions because it requires so much negative energy out of you. Maybe---i dislike this with a passion---- no no, it doesn't do it. My heart longs for justice.
I wonder so very often nowadays, what does God see in us? I mean, look, humanity is so frail, so weak, so broken, so perverse,it has always been like this. If one reads the Bible from cover to cover, one will feel the same- a lot of bloodshed, crime,an accurate portrayal of everything that is human, diseases, insanity. What does he see in us? Our DNA reels in sin. I am the one who says : I am sorry , I messed it up.
I am that same person who messes it up again a few hours later as if I have had moral/spiritual/rightful conduct behavior,righteous act ( whatever you may call it) amnesia. I look for my integrity and the integrity that i have been working so hard on is to not be found at that moment. I repeat scriptures in my mind from the Bible, from the book of proverbs : my daughter, preserve sound judgment and discernment ,do not let them out of your sight;they will be life for you ,an ornament to grace your neck ( prov 3: 21) , Above all else ,guard your heart ,for it is the wellspring of life ,put away perversity from your mouth ,keep corrupt talk from your lips ,let your eyes look straight ahead ,fix your gaze directly before you,make level paths for your feet,and take only ways that are firm (prov 4:23-26) my daughter, let love and faithfulness never leave you;bind them around your neck,write them on the tablet of your heart( prov 3:3) I read them, i know them by heart , yet i fail so very often.
Why does he care about us? About me so much? I hurt him constantly. People hurt him constantly. Why does he even bother to set men apart ,distinguished men and women to educate us, teach us about himself. The only reason I have come up so far is love.
The Bible is a living horror book, I feel like throwing up when I read some gruesome parts of it. The best seller of centuries,except one time in 2008 (i think,don't quote me on the year) Harry Potter became the best seller for a year. And to think that the theme of Harry Potter was taken from the Bible, baahahaha, we could never escape God.
He still hopes for us,for me ,.... that I will get it, that we will finally realize we have so much power, we have so much freedom, we have so many choices to consider and that for our benefit not to burden us with the fear of " oh my gosh, i am in anguish which way to take."
He hopes for me, that I will be able to cry freely, unashamedly in front of people,something i still struggle with ,i have a hard time being vulnerable. I still hide my feelings when I am hurt and that's so deceiving of me, so hurtful toward God. I find it hard to regulate my feelings. I could hurt today, and express my hurt days later because I haven't processed what's been going on inside. My quest to living in a real powerful way involves to cry not in secret. Women who allow themselves to be seen when crying are so beautiful.Women who cry are so beautiful. Women who are real with their struggles are so brave, women who help other women overcome their struggles are braver still. I wanna be beautiful but wait...I AM.
