Good evening Queens:
Below is lyrics of one of Anita Bakers most popular songs. You tube it when you get a chance. I found myself just singing this song over and over in my spirit... the lyrics made me reflect. We all want a fairy tale right???
I can remember stories, those things my mother said
She told me fairy tales, before I went to bed
She spoke of happy endings, then tucked me in real tight
She turned my night light on, and kissed my face good night
My mind would fill with visions, of perfect paradise
She told me everything, she said he'd be so nice
He'd ride up on his horse and, take me away one night
I'd be so happy with him, we'd ride clean out of sight
She never said that we would, curse, cry and scream and lie
She never said that maybe, someday he'd say goodbye
The story ends, as stories do
Reality steps into view
No longer living life in paradise-or fairy tales-uh
No, uh-huh-mmm-mmm
She spoke about happy endings, of stories not like this
She said he'd slay all dragons, defeat the evil prince
She said he'd come to save me, swim through the stormy seas
I'd understand the story, it would be good for me
You never came to save me, you let me stand alone
Out in the wilderness, alone in the cold
My story ends, as stories do
Reality steps into view
No longer living life in paradise-or fairy tales-yes
I don't look for pie up in the sky, baby
Need reality, now, said I
Don't feel the need to be pacified,
Don't try
Honey, I know you lied
You never came to save me, you let me stand alone
Out in the wilderness, alone in the cold
I found no magic potion, no horse with wings to fly
I found the poison apple, my destiny to die
No royal kiss could save me, no magic spell to spin
My fantasy is over, my life must now begin
My story ends, as stories do
Reality steps into view
No longer living life in paradise-or fairy tales-
Eh, hey, hey-ee-mmm, mmm
(laugh-laugh-laugh) Lord have mercy
(laugh) ooo
Mmm, mmm (laugh) ooo-mmm-oh Lord

This song relates to phenomenal mothers in many different ways. Never would a phenomenal mother imagine to live a life that would be filled with such pain. Whatever reason you joined this group, it is definitely for a profound reason. This group "ministry" will provide healing in many different ways. The vision is for you to see how special you are in the midst of not so special circumstances. We all know there is no such thing as perfect anything. Growing up, yeah of course we were consumed with the thought of being a princess and living a fairy tale life with a happy ending. However that is not hardly the case. I call you Queen for several reasons but the main reasons are, you come from royalty~you are a child of God! You are worthy~ deserving to be treated like royalty.
In the paths we have been placed on by choices and free will have brought us to a space that is not quite a happy ending or anything close to it. To be honest it is painful, confusing, and frustrating. In the end your cup is empty, your eyes are dry from all the tears. You begin to plead with your own self realizing enough is enough but still holding on to that fairy tale. What can you do? How can you do it? When do you do it? these are questions that you battle to a certain extent. Anything that places you in a position were you feel defeated is not the position for you. It is important to be lifted at all times. On the flip side, you may be dealing with a principality such as incarceration, drugs, or alcohol which has become a part of your life, because it is the part of your child/children father life or your parents life which has trickled down on you which created a bondage. So how exactly do we tie in all of these things in a simple yet powerful statement.
" God Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference."
Serenity is what is needed in times in which you are experiencing. You hold no control over others but you have control over yourself, and the light that you shed will shine in dark places. As you go through the valley, sinking and climbing out of the swaps~ no that God is right there to pick you up and lead you back to the promise designed just for you. Will it be a fairy tale on earth. I am afraid not, but you be able to experience the truth and loyalty you deserve. You will cry tears of joy and not tears of pain. Never stop believing in the power of God, even when all fails and you feel like giving up. Let God dwell in you, preserve your body, meditate on the word of God, focus on loving you as you continue to teach your children real love.....always remember Gods love is unchanging and available to replenish you everyday!
Peace and Blessings
