One of my tasks for today was to continue to read through #YourDaughtersShallProphesy by @ToddKorpi. My goal is to get to the point where I can leave an Amazon review on Todd’s book as book reviews are incredibly important. My reading this book though has seemingly had to go at a snail’s pace as armed with highlighters and a broken heart at the way women are treated inside and outside of the church (and more specifically how I was treated inside the church by spiritual leaders/prophetic “fathers”), I plod forward diligently through the content as I truly want to see, believe, hope that Todd accomplished writing a book which could lead to a paradigm shift inside of the church to usher in necessary generational healing. For me, the content of this book has had to brush up against a lot of memories of my own abuses. I have been horribly uncomfortable and weepy as I read and remembered and processed through some of my own abuses…like: 1. (1999) Having a medical doctor allow a desk clerk photograph my naked breasts swollen and engorged by mastitis following the birth of my daughter and examine me - meaning the military doctor literally brought in his administration desk clerk and let him lay hands on, touch, feel up my breasts as a “2nd opinion”. 2. (2001) As a single mom of a 2 year old re-entering the workforce, during a job interview for the job I actually accepted because I needed to feed & house my kiddo, I had the attorney who would hire me straight up say to me / ask me, “You have big boobs. Are you smart?” “Uhm. What?” “You have large breasts, are you smart?” “I graduated high school as Valedictorian. I’m not dumb. Am I going to claim sexual harassment if some guy like a client or another attorney notices and comments on my breast size while working here? No.” Goodness. We definitely can do better in this world both inside and outside of the church. I am living testimony to that. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Currently Reading: Chapter 8 Invited to the Table… So Long as She’s Quiet ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ____________________________________ Yeah, I’m not going to be quiet. I will simply build my own tables if necessary and make for others (males & females) the opportunities I never had.
