"Camouflage"

Happy Saturday - Camouflage as most of us know, is used for military purposes; survival and protection. But as I looked deeper into it, camouflage among women is used on a whole different level. We (women) camouflage, to hide things that we hold deep in our heart; envy, jealousy, bitterness, pettyiness, spitefulness and unforgiveness. We think, if we are built like a brickhouse, dress nice, smell good, and smile and grin real hard, that no one can see us for who we really are. But I beg the differ; no matter how much we try to hide, the real us, will come out. It will come out in our mannerism, in the way we talk, and by the way we think (i.e never have anything nice to say about another sister, or can't compliment or celebrate someone, unless it's about us). And for the ones who have really seen the real us, they are left feeling betrayed and confused about our behavior, because we showed them something fake in the beginning. I think what we forget, is that eventually, troops take off there camouflage gear, and we get to see the real person underneath, whereas we wear ours, constantly, until change takes place. So, as we relax and spend our quiet time with ourselves, let's evaluate to see if we camouflage for protection from things and people that our hazardous to our well being, or do we camouflage to cover up what we don't want people to know about us, for real. Sisters we have God-given influential power, don't use that power to abuse, use it to build. Peace & Love...
