Hello, since you made it this far won't you go a little further? I love sharing my adventures in makeup with you all and busting the euro-centric status quo that tricks us into believing the makeup industry doesn't have to make room for us. Remember, happy girls are the prettiest - Audrey Hepburn

Are you the next Jesus Christ?

No blasphemy intended but I often wonder why ppl put so much import on looking for the next greatest leader since sliced bread. Why don't ppl ever believe they're that leader? If you believe in the presence of a Higher Being and in the possibility of a new world--why couldn't you be that person that brings in that new world. Yes we know that Jesus was the son of God and that imbibed him with a supernatural "aura" but it wasn't the miracles that made ppl follow him it was his promises and his conviction. If you believe so strongly y couldn't you also encourage others to believe. Jesus wept, and bled and also doubted at times that this was his purpose. Son of God yes--devoid of human emotions--no. And if Christians consider themselves to be a child of God would that not enable them to take up the same charge. Oftentimes ppl put all this energy into following pastors and deacons and Sunday school teachers without realizing these ppl are working with the same materials you have. Seminary studies can be available to anyone--without even thinking about the school the message is still readily available to all. So the next time you find yourself enthralled in the pulpit b/c of the pastor's interpretation consider this for a moment if you read the same passage would you see it the same way and would it be any less important than his/hers?
