A woman's worth

hey there revolutionists
I can't stop right now, its really like an addiction, everything is just flowing right. Now when you read my title what instantly comes to your mind? When I thought about this one, I thought about all the women that go through some much BS in their life that they dont even know their worth anymore and for that moment they head down a path to self destruction. I am going to describe what I think you should feel going into a relationship and then being in one.

1. I believe that a woman should have complete control over her body, mind, spirit and soul and that the only man who should have her heart is God. I believe that the man should seek God to find that woman's heart. I knw a lot of people have their belief systems but its just the context of the situation. Before you enter a relationship you need to make sure that you have a relationship with yourself and that you are happy with you. A lot of women don't give themselves enough time and they jump into relationships they are not ready for. Another mistake women make is that they are always looking for someone to save or mend their broken heart. Sweety you do not need a man to put you back together, all you need is will and faith in God and those two weapons can combat anything.

2. When you are in a relationship I think there are 5 or more guidelines that will let you know if you are being respected enough to matter and have a say in the relationship.

1. - He treats you as an equal, how many times i hear women say how they feel like they are giving 60 and he 40 or they give more, but you get the point. Let me tell you something if you feel like you are giving .5% more that him, something needs to change or its time to decide other options.
2. - He has taken you to meet his family. Alot of people dont understand the importance of this but it shows that he is proud of you and he wants his family to understand how important you are to him.
3. -Compromise. I see so many relationships go down hill because someone doesnt want to compromise, a good relationship requires this and sacrifice among other things.
4. -He listens. communication is the important thing in a relationship. If he doesnt remember simple things or ignores you for insignificant things, then there is a problem.
5. He is caught up. There is nothing worse than a man who doesnt have his business together, just caught up on the wrong things.

For the past two years I had a hard time knowing my real worth because I had a man who brought it down every step of the way. He broke my spirit, soul, heart and body, I had to be completely put back together again, I am actually still on the mend. Me and God are working on getting rid of this heart-break cancer. It made me resentful and for a brief period really bitter. I talked to my friends, counselors, my mother but the person who truly made me realize what I was worth is GOD. I spoke to him, i prayed to him and I read his word and I knew within myself that I was not meant to endure those things. I was too strong and I knew God had put me on this earth for a greater purpose.

So ladies its real simple, sit for a second evaluate your situation, think about how God created you in his image and know that you always deserve the best, what else do we think of when we think of God (the best, the greatest, the almighty)
