Jesus Homegirl

My heart has been heavy these past few days over the passing of the late rapper DMX. I have been feeling a certain type of way for a while now, but haven't been able to express it until now. I want to be Jesus' homegirl. I know your probably thinking, " Dominique, what does that even mean?" Well, it means just that. When I think about the people that persecuted Jesus it wasn't thieves, whores, or tax collectors that persecuted him, it was the very people one would have thought they'd know who he was and his purpose.

The people that Jesus hung out with were the very ones that the church people stuck their noses up to. I want to hang out with those people. I want to be with the DMXs, the Whitney Houstons, the LeAndria Johnsons, the Peters, and the Marys of the world. The ones who openly struggle with things, but know who their savior is. The ones whose anointing you can feel by just being in their presence. I want to be with the sinners of the world. I can't hang out with the people who are judging me because I drink when I feel like it, a curse when my mood calls for it, and feel they can't love someone because of who they choose to love. Listen we all fall short of his glory -EVERY SINGLE DAY. No matter how hard we try. So if I had to choose my crowd of people I am choosing the sinning crowd every time. Do I believe when we know better we should do better? Absolutely. I just don't think how you do better is up to me. I want to hang out with the Muslims, the Buddhists, the Jews, the Christians, the African Religions, the Hindus, the Indigenous American Religions, the Atheists, and anything that I may have left out. I don't want to be so closed-minded that I can't even sit down with a brother or sister from another religion or non-religion and have a conversation. How can they ever be reached if we never extend a hand? If you think heaven is only made up of Christians I feel sad for you non of the people Jesus hung out with were Christians the religion didn't even exist. I just want to be Jesus homegirl.

Now I know this isn't my typical blog, but this has definitely been on my heart. Don't @ me trying to get me to change my mind or tell me how this blog is politically incorrect. If this blog offends you I would recommend that you go find a video of DMX praying, listen or read his story, listen to a LeAndria Johnson song, and then read her story. Then if you still disagree still don't @ me because God and I have already spoken about this he knows where I am, and honestly lead me to this decision.
