Celebrity Apprentice Rant: I am just now finishing the remainder of the episode from earlier this week. After Geraldos pathetic displays, I didnt have the desire to finish the episode. But am now . . . Vivica attacking Shawn for checking out due to her monthly cycle was in my opinion only partially warranted. But while it is necessary on this reality show to appear to maintain a certain level of strength in spite of weaknesses or setbacks, I think the remark that Kenya made regarding women ruling the world and never having the opportunity to show themselves weak is a pathetic example. In fact, it infuriates me. {Perhaps this season may prove to be one I cannot stomach.} But after a long rough year in which I am just now sharing publicly, I can attest to feeling weak and the struggle to POWER ON ANYWAY! I felt this JUST this week prior to driving myself to the ER at OLOL yesterday. My journey is chronicled below and becoming lost in the feed. But whether or not you choose to read it, I will share that tonight that comment struck a deep nerve. We women have insanely TOOO MUCH pressure on us to do it all and it is time we refuse to accept it. Ive spent a large part of the past year sitting quite literally on a heating pad. Ive felt the weight of feeling stuck because of my circumstances; albeit I often used it constructively as time to work on writing. We were not created to DO IT ALL or BE IT ALL. In the words of Bones on Moms Day Out, [We] women put so much pressure on ourselves. It must be exhausting. . . . YES. YES it is. And it is exhausting to accept the weight of the pressure that others would have us carry also. We were meant to be part of a larger Body, to lean on one another. THIS is what the Body of Christ is supposed to be all about. Its time we strip cast off the lies of being it all and doing it all and learn to just BE as Bones also said, What God created us to be. So I will say now boldly I AM SHOWING MYSELF WEAK because I am weak. I have been weak for nearly one year and have refrained from sharing the details. Ive learned to lean on those the Lord shows me to lean and that others wont always be there. And thats okay. Because ultimately, my eyes should remain on Him to provide the means----not the means itself. Yet I am thankful for the means in which Hes worked. BEAR! YE! ONE! ANOTHERS! BURDENS! AND! SO! FULFILL! THE! LAW! OF! CHRIST! Galatians 6:2 emphasis obviously mine!!! I am weak. I dont crave attention. I desire support. End rant.
