If you want to know what real, terrifying motherly love looks like, you need to read about Rizpah. 💔

My kid went through an incredibly unfair situation recently where the "authorities" completely failed them. As a mom, it unleashes this terrifying, primal rage inside you to protect your child. I found the story of Rizpah in 2 Samuel 21. Her two sons were unjustly handed over by King David and executed on a hill, left unburied to rot in the sun. Rizpah didn't just weep at home. She took sackcloth, spread it on the solid rock next to their corpses, and literally lived out there for FIVE MONTHS. Day and night, she physically fought off the vultures, the wild dogs, and the jackals with her bare hands. She absolutely refused to leave until the King was so shamed by her grit that he finally gave her sons a proper royal burial. A mother’s fight for her children is biblical and fierce. Don't mess with us. #BiblicalWomanhood #FierceMom #Rizpah #2Samuel

I’d like to add another footnote to my journey. I am 68. I was with a man for 40 years but his wife had cheated on him and he didn’t want to get married again so I respected that and he died in January and I met someone and it was just like a miracle waiting to happen and so we’re deciding where and when to get married, I’m cool with that and we know where we’re gonna live and I’m grateful to God into Jesus for putting us together and making our future beautiful. The sad part is I have three sisters two of them. I don’t talk to you anymore and the other one is doing God‘s work and helping educate domestic women who are part of being battered and have kids so she goes to the shelters and spend them a month with them and helps them start over again and gives them the money compliments of retiring from Microsoft and it’s beautiful so I don’t I don’t want her to stop because it’s needed, but it’s OK if I have no family you know I mean I never thought I’d get married at this age, but God, has other plans and I welcome him with those plans. I’m just saddened that both of my sisters know that I am getting married, but don’t care to even make one comment about it, but you know you can’t control what other people do. They’ll just read it in the newspapers or on the news and they’ll say oh shit we could’ve been there well maybe so but I don’t like ugly and I refuse to let family talk to me like I’m some second class citizen and I’m older than they are. They don’t obviously know what respect is so that’s how it goes. I’m good with it. Sad but good with it and just to be ornery. I have two sisters one lived in Palm Coast and my brother-in-law was a poster child of racism and they moved to a state where it’s 61% white understand why you got me my other sister well she lived at home until she was 35 very spoiled. My parents put her through three top knowledge colleges and she’s just entitled and I don’t have the time of the patient to deal with entitlement you know, let them do

You've reached the end!
