Neo, All I can say is thank you for keeping it real. Some days I read one of your little signs and you so raw and blunt with it that I feel like I’m choking. Other days you just off the chain with some of the funniest stuff and I swear you need to do comedy. You not afraid to be a strong man. And you not afraid to be human. One thing for sure, you gone say it like it need to be said. I’m sure some people reading your stuff when you raw don’t get you at first if thats the first thing they read. But then you got a way of telling me things with your writing I been sitting in church my whole life and never got it until you made the same point your way. I been trying to figure out why.
I guess its because you not out here pretending to be so holy. A lot of times you say what I am thinking and probably what a lot of people thinking but pretend they not. I think sometimes we want to run so far away from our past we stop being real. I can tell when you answer people you being real even if somebody don’t agree or don’t listen. You know sometimes when you got a deep problem it hard to want to go talk to somebody in church because all they want to do is give you a Bible verse and pray and then you feel stupid like they perfect and something must be wrong with you. But even when you don’t say a Bible verse I can tell a lot of times which one you talking about when you write stuff and I just smile because I never seen nobody do it like that and just give a person a chance to see the truth without making them feel like something wrong for not knowing the bible. Some things you talk about on your profile I am not sure if I think the same way. But I don’t think the same way about everything my pastor preach too. One thing for sure no matter what I might think about anything I read on one day or the next day I feel like your heart is in it and that God is in your heart and that is all I need to know. Just Keep being you. -SISTER KAY
MY REPLY,
All I can do is marvel that your spirit would lead you to say such things. I know I am controversial in my approach to a lot of things that people with traditional church mindsets will always totally disagree with me on but I am not here to debate anyone over what works for their lives. And I don’t push my views on anyone. People write me because they choose to. People stay on my profile because they choose to. I never push what I have to say by sending it in a tag or comment. My words only exist on my profile and I do that so that people always have the choice to think for themselves. I have always believed that if you walk in the light people will pay more attention to the light instead of the imperfect person standing in it. And so i try to let that light speak in whatever way it takes for someone to hear it- even if it means saying the same thing as a scripture but with a bunch of four letter words “I become all things to all men, that I might by ALL MEANS save some”. I stopped trying to explain myself a long time ago. Even so, I am always encouraged when someone just “gets it”. Thank you so much for writing.
