Embracing, Empowering and Educating!

Can you breathe?

Yes, I can but there are many of our sisters and brothers' lives that were taken and lost too soon. What does this phrase mean today? Everything. We have people suffering of COVID-19 and another black man dead in the street held down by a white officer's knee.  It was just last week that a similar crime took place before our eyes.  When is enough, enough?  When do we come together as a nation and fight for one another.  I could imagine how our black men feel and our sons are hurting.  They are angry and tormented with fear on how to live in this place called America -home of the free and home of the brave. So they are crying out and are filled with such rage that they can't stay silent but need to react and show how they feel.  Are they right in reacting, looting, and setting flames? No but how they feel-yes. I am reminded that the Word of God says to be angry but sin not.  How do we help our young people face the pain and deal with the strain of living Black in America today. We have an obligation to cover them in prayer and ask the Lord to convict and turn the hearts of those who are filled with hatred over  to God. Most of all let us educacte our sons and daughters to understand that everyone is not kind, loving and tenderhearted.  We have to train them on how to deal with hatred, and love anyway yet fight peacefully by joining grassroots organizations that are willing to go in the community to ensure that the voices of people are heard and aware of their rights as US citizens.Let us take the breath that we have to continue to server and ensure that all people are treated equally.
