I don’t have time to fall apart

i can’t afford to fall apart

black woman’s burden

“I don’t have time to fall apart.”

This is the message that was pounded into my head by my Mother, a Black Woman just like me. This message has been the bane of my existence for 25 years. I am constantly having to assert my humanity, but my own Mama told me that the frailties of humanity don’t belong to me, a Black Girl. And I stepped out her door and found it to be true.

All the while, I can still hear the blood pulsing through my veins. I can still feel all my hurts.

But, I don’t have time to fall apart. Strong Black Woman.

I told someone once that I was overdue for a nervous breakdown, but it wasn’t on the schedule & so I’d have to wait until I was dead to break down. I laughed when I said it, but they just looked horrified. Strong Black Women burn out one day & then we get to rest.

Yeah. It’s something that comes up in therapy all the time. I just can’t conceive of not bucking up, fucking soldiering on because shit needs to get done. He asks why and I never know what to say. I mean intellectually sure I guess I don’t have to be responsible for everything. But it feels like that’s for other people not me. Sometimes I’m envoius of the “ability” to just lose it for a while. All I can think of the stuff that needs doing.

spiritualinspiration:

“But someone will say, ‘You have faith, and I have works.’ Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.” (James 2:18, NKJV)

We all have dreams that we’re hoping will come to pass and promises that we’re believing for. We should always be praying, believing and hoping — that’s all part of faith. But there’s another part of faith that, oftentimes, people leave out, and that is putting action behind your faith.

Scripture tells us that our works or actions prove our faith. In other words, when we really believe God, we obey Him. We can pray all day long, “God, get me out of this problem.” Or, “God, give me that promotion.” But if you really want to get God’s attention and see Him move in amazing ways, take it one step further and do something to demonstrate your faith. Let your actions prove your faith in Him. For example, maybe you need a turnaround in a relationship. Are you being the one to show love, honor and forgiveness? Maybe you need a financial breakthrough. Are you obeying Him and being faithful in your finances? Maybe you lost your job. Are you putting your resume out and knocking on new doors? That’s one way to take a step of faith.

Today, make sure you put action behind your faith. Make it visible in the eyes of God and man and watch Him come through on your behalf!
