Reworked Clay

I am woman
hear me roar

I am tender
and sore
beaten and bruised

I am soft and assure
hard and wrecked

I am beautiful
callused and torn

I am a curve
of watchful noise
the inside pleasures
and the outside gestures

I am at the hands
of many
but the work of One†

I am woman
the tool of the soul
through me
magic is laced

I can tear or build
depending on
the tear down
or the build up
of me

I am woman
never mistakened
for a man
I am pure inside
shaped to wither hearts
reshaped to comfort
pulling hurt to my breast

I am woman 
there is no part of me
too hard
that tears won't come down
in sorrow and pity

I have been broken
savaged and wiped

men want to be me
but they can never
be me
no matter the force
in nature

for the Potter† is excellent
and I am perfect
the creator of life
made by the Creator† of life

you can't have
what I have

for I am woman
all emotions of one
the mother
the anchor
the shoulder
the bearer of weight
that can't be shouldered
by any type of man

for I am woman
born woman
creator created
by the one true Creator†

a job predetermined
by Him† who created me

§For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.—Ephesians 2:8-10

(May 9, 2023)—I have been stumbling over this one. I know what I heard and I don’t doubt God one bit, I fear Him immensely. As His called servant, I trust that He guides my words and this one, as well as ”She’ Put Back in Place’, He wanted me to write with the help of David to express all that He’s been telling me…what makes Him so angry.

First, I will repeat what I wrote in the commentary for ”She’ Put Back in Place’ because it is the basis of this writing.

‘…wanting something so bad that you would risk your life to have it is Idolatry. Worshiping something so strong that it overpowers God in every sense of the word is Idolatry. If you can’t comprehend this, no one can help you. You are lost so far in the darkness that it will take an act of God Himself to pull you out.

To go to the extreme of what so many are doing: To be woman in order to get what they have, to be woman in order to have it easier, to winner better, to give into the seduction of lustfulness…all of this is Idolatry! Your sins are noted.’

He then led me to the Scripture dealing with Idolatry for that writing.

For years now, God has been making me look at myself and my vanity. I grew into my vanity because of how I witnessed my dad treat my mother, then see other women, who were not thin, be treated differently. I fought to ever be obese because of all of this and it was a struggle my whole life, until God made this drastic promise to me. When I think of promises like this from God, I think ‘biblical times‘. He tells me that every time is biblical.
