How could my experience and that of so many other black women be so different from the official statistics? I wanted to find out — so I started digging. Because so many news reports repeat the 70 percent figure without citing a source, I went straight to the mother lode of demographic data: the U.S. Census. And what I found was shocking: While, according to 2009 data, it’s true that 70.5 percent of black women were never married compared with 45 percent of white women, look closer and you’ll see that the figure pertains only to women between the ages of 25 and 29. Not that surprising, right? Researching further, I found another U.S. Census statistic that may have sparked the frenzy. According to the 2009 data, only 30 percent of black women were married — but the data includes every female from 15 years old up to 90-somethings. So … my baby cousin and grandmother are single. Is that really a crisis?

None Like Jesus

This is a great blog! I love this girl already!

nonelikejesus:

Ladies,
If you have to chase him,
he probably doesn’t want you.
A real man of God will do the pursuing.
A boy, however, can’t make up his mind
and l o v e s to plays games.

Your heart and feelings are too precious
to give away to just anyone who looks your way.
Be patient, every lady deserves a man that will treat her as such.
Don’t settle for a boy when God has your perfect man.

sculderr asked: can i ask where you got those white/pink colored sandals from?

Aldo!

Cast your cares, because HE cares for you

1 Peter 5:6-7  Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you,  casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.



Found myself feeling a little bogged down with all that I have to do, and all that I’m anticipating that I will have to do. This scripture instantly lightened my entire frame of mind. I still plan on writing about the topic, but everything really is all good. It’s all positive. All meant to serve us, and help us to become our higher selves. Anything else just wouldn’t make sense. Don’t believe the hype. Don’t let lies infiltrate your being. Lies feel wrong. They feel bad. The truth feels right. The truth DOESN’T HURT!
