I am not a clinican, therefore I can’t provide citations or cases to confirm my beliefs however I’ve found that its helpful to remind myself of the champions of my spiritual journey. My champions are people who were willing to engage in spiritual warfare and defend the right for the existence of persons like myself (including those uniformed and spiritual soldiers who died before I was born). As challenging as it can be today, our champtions faced the unthinkable and did so without the promise that anyone would remember their names or faces.
As we know, Memorial Day is a day to remember those who paid the ultimate price in service to this nation. This Memorial Day, I honor every woman who gave her life in service of this country. I honor them for sacrificing their lives for a country that in some cases never recognized them, their worth or their efforts. To this day, some women who serve face opposition and harrassment, yet they keep fighting, keep serving and keep striving to ensure the next generation can serve, free of fear. If the women in your family died in service to this country, please speak their names and salute them, honor them and remember them. I also honor women of faith who didn’t give up or walk away from the draw by the Divine to them. I honor those who were endured every vile name thrown at them because they knew the Divine loved them and empowered them. It is because they were willing to endure: ridicule, opposition and oppression that persons such as myself can operate a bit easier in our offices and placements. I salute you Mothers, Evangelists, Missionaries, etc.. I honor you and remember you. Blessings, Rev. Antoinette
