Oh, my Godness, Jackie. I have cried the same tears. I feel ya. I think God has blessed with our creative skills to pass the word on eloquently. I did not see the show, I feel it though. 1:50 AM, February 27, 2007 chele said... You weren't the only one crying a river last night. The special was beautiful and to see these girls with so much hope in their eyes made me ashamed. Ashamed because I have given up after going through less. I have my trials but nothing like this. These are strong girls and determined to make a difference. I learned such a lesson. I am good enough. And so are you. 9:03 AM, February 27, 2007 MsJayy said... Thanks Shai. It was just a painful but necessary re-revelation (yeah, I make up words too. LOL) that I know I have to work through or it will keep showing up. Chele - girl, I cried from the very beginning, thru the end & was still crying after it was over. I know what you mean about feeling ashamed. Convicted on the spot. It's funny - in my head, I "know" I'm good enough but...gotta work through some things to get that knowing down in my spirit. God & I are on it though. 9:43 AM, February 27, 2007 Paula Neal Mooney said... I can't believe I missed this special. Forgot to catch it, so busy was I driving down to try and see Obama last night in Cleveland. Anyway, my dear Jackie, you are obviously good enough just because God created you. I ask the same question. Asked it to a whole bunch of bozo men before I finally got the right answer from Christ. Have you read that book Captivating? It's amazing. It talks about how all us women ask the same question at the core of us: Am I lovely? 11:41 AM, February 27, 2007 MsJayy said... Paula, I almost missed it myself. I'll check for that book. I think we all ask the "Am I enough?" question at times - men & women. I think the knowing part comes slowly. I felt the same way when I went back to church. When asked if I truly believed Jesus died for my sins, I couldn't answer. I had to GROW into that knowledge. And so it is with this. Peace! 12:50 PM, February 27, 2007 kweenkong said... I think the Oprah special comes on tonight here, so I hope to see it shortly. This is a very beautiful space you've created. I'll definitely bookmark you. 6:26 PM, February 27, 2007 MsJayy said... Hi Kweenkong. Make sure you have tissues at hand. I watched Oprah's show today & she showed clips & some pieces about schools in the USA who contributed & how the special impacted students here. Had me crying again. I think it's going to air again this weekend so I might tape it. 6:48 PM, February 27, 2007 CreoleInDC said... I'm going to watch it tomorrow. Guess I should have my tissues handy. 11:56 PM, February 27, 2007 MsJayy said... I'm just saying. Better to be prepared. I think I cried harder watching her show yesterday & seeing kids here in the States raising money or donating books. And when they asked kids here how they were impacted & some of THEM were in tears. Or talking about how they grumble about going to school when some of these girls risk their lives every day to get to school? Powerful. 3:57 AM, February 28, 2007 Diva (in Demand) said... Hey chica. I LOVE THIS POST! I think this may be the best post (besides any of mine) that I've ever read. I watched the special last night and cried all the way through it too. When it was finished I wanted to write a check for all the money I have to give to those children. Awesome. 1:31 PM, March 01, 2007 MsJayy said... LOL@ Diva. Thank you. I'm telling you that special shook some stuff loose. Powerful. I think I'll watch it again Saturday. 6:01 PM, March 01, 2007 Shai said…
