“A woman is a poem of Strength, Grace and Immense beauty,

A flower of Precious Petals and a Picture of Pure Love” – Sharon Rateiwa

As a matter of principle it is essential to appreciate the women in our lives, whether they are our mommies, grannies, besties, aunties, mothers of our children, sweethearts or sisters. These signs of poetry (women) are a revelation of the finer workings of God. There is a very deliberate genetic make-up in a woman that causes her to care, nurture, work mini-miracles out of small things, stretch herself and resources, bear fruit and endure many a hardship for the sake of those she loves. The love of a woman, especially mothers is often likened to that of God because it is very nearly the closest thing. The process of life cannot happen without the encounter of a man and his woman. There is only one awesome exception to this rule and this was also by design because as the title of my continuous song goes our God is a Master Designer very deliberate in every brush stroke and moment of life.

Man was never made to be alone hence the breaking of his flesh to create his fitting piece, a help meet just for his design. If a man were a Chrysler then his woman would make him a 300C or whichever model would suit him. Have you ever seen how true it is that when a man meets the right woman he goes up from zero to hero..its almost like she has the magic formula to bring out that magic lying latent and untapped. Think of her like a set of keys with the power to lock him deeper in his prison cell or set him free to be just the he God intended him to be. Unfortunately as the centuries have gone by this concept of a woman’s worth has acquired many different shades of a worrying grey. Activists have taken to activity to fight for this right, raise awareness about that right and set this and that legislature accordingly, but I wonder if we are really seeing the fruit of these ventures. Countless women are becoming independent so self-sufficient that they become self-centred where following the humble instructions of God are just beneath them. Such women go about boasting of how little they need anything or anyone because they got it together, but is it really together that they’ve got it? If a study could be done of how many of these women develop high blood pressure from as young as 30 we may surprised that this need to be super macho actually arises from a sense of undealt with rejection.

Am I against women being able to make financial contributions in the home when married or enjoy a high end lifestyle when their still single? Absolutely not. Actually I firmly in believe in mari-ngaidyiwe-munhu-ari-mupenyu, within wise reason of course. I really enjoy my money in all honesty, but the enjoyment of money will never blind me to the value of a good man. After all it is a good man that deserves a good woman’s love. As I was saying about blurred lines in this Century, its so difficult to keep one’s values..just too many opportunities to “Only Live Once” in regrettable recklessness.

There is a darkness accelerating in the world seeping in through the cracks of life and though it’s a point of concern for many, it also an opportunity for us the light and salt of the earth to arise and shine for we were created and saved for such a time as this. She believes there is a mandate on his generation to take up Godly arms for the war ahead because we are at war whether we choose to fight or not so she’s a firm believer in doing our part in whatever small way we can.
