Get a Life: The Reality of We

Shopping causes you to walk past the windows mouth watering watching the latest fashion on a plastic mold of a man or woman wondering how is this gonna look on me. Driving in your Pontiac or Corolla passed at the light by the new version of the BMW-X5 salivating how you’d look behind the wheel minute by minute replays in your mind of trumping the driver so you can get under that wheel and v room…..v room…….

In a world of security, in these great United States and Nation of We, religion reigns high, creating causes for us to have mediocre relationships with ourselves while we wine and dine the relationships with others, not liking ourselves, wishing we lived in another’s neighborhood, driving another’s car, loving another’s lover, reveling in reality TV while conjuring up a pseudo-lifestyle for you–to star in your own reality show….”Keeping up with (insert your name here)”.

Strongholds block our memories and cause us to dwell in an eternal state of false reverence that to like and to love ourselves is anti-loving God-after all God is meek and lowly and if he gave you a gift–you don’t have to flaunt it—instead we adopt cover-up and self-hatred strategies and coveting tactics to cover-up how we really feel–impressing Mike with that new dress when you’ve got .50 in the bank or the extreme…taking Molly to McDonald’s when you wanna take her to Sun Dial ( testing her to see if she can handle being with you because you loaded but don’t like yourself). We can get lost into spiraling into a space where we may not feel worthy of success or looking into the future because our present is filled with such inconsistencies—-lay-offs, abuse, fragile relationships, layers of fat, etc.
