Daughters of Eve

Dear Daughters,

             Have you pondered the scars of the earth? Have you marveled at the dust formations left behind by water, ice, and wind?      

             Adam was made from the dust. God took the dust and shaped it into muscle, tendon, and bone. Bone. The bone protects, and is the support structure and framework of the body. 

Adam was made from the dust.  You were made from the bone. 

In his wisdom God made you of stronger material. For he gave you the ability to protect and nurture life within you. He gave you the strength to endure the rigors of childbirth. You are, as I was, Satan’s target. Not because of any perceived weakness, but because of your known strength. Through you God brought love and compassion into the world. You are God’s conduit. You, Daughters, are the embodiment of all that God is.                                          

            The world does all that it can to convince you that you are weak. Refusing to acknowledge your strength and power.  It is, of course, an exercise in futility.  For in spite of all its efforts, the world cannot erase what is fact:

Dust erodes in the wind, and Adam was made from the dust.

Love,

                                                                                   Eve

It dosen't
Matter what
They say or do
Don't let'em
Get to you
Don't be afraid
You can, you can
You can breakthrough
Take what
I've been through
To see that
You can't
Hold a good
Woman down
