If I had it my way, my life would always be pretty much the same. Some say that’s because I’m a control freak. Others chalk it up to the fact that I’m a Taurus and crave stability and consistency. I wouldn’t argue with either, though I think the fact that I experienced a great deal of instability in my childhood leads me to do whatever I can within my power to minimize chaos and change in my life.

The world around us is constantly changing and, try as we might to avoid being impacted by those outside forces, it’s simply not possible. Many belief systems suggest outward change is a necessary part of inner growth, and Sarah Jakes Roberts says the only appropriate response to transition is restructuring. “If we are not intentional about restructuring our lives there is a version of us that will not live. And there is another version of us that will continue to live that should die,” she says in her sermon “Restructuring.” SEE ALSO: Style & Grace: Sarah Jakes Roberts’ Transition Over The Years [PHOTOS] The process of restructuring, however, isn’t easy. There is a great deal of doubt, the path you’re taking may not seem secure, and your faith in the outcome may be shaky. Add to that the fact that your own behavior and mentality has to change to reach the end goal and the reality that everyone in your current circle might not make it there with you and it’s clear restructuring isn’t for the faint of heart — or faith. In other words there will be many deaths — not necessarily physical ones — but losses. And, as Jakes Roberts explains, “These aren’t the types of deaths that you end up thanking God for the separation, not in the moment anyway. There are some things you lose along the way that doesn’t feel good.”Having personally experienced the loss of physical life, professional opportunities, money, and more in the past couple of months, I can certainly attest to what doesn’t feel good. As a result, trusting God feels a bit harder these days. SEE ALSO: Sarah Jakes & Her Husband Toure Roberts Make Us Thank God For Black Love “Sometimes trusting God is trusting that when you say goodbye to the good thing that it doesn’t mean you’re no longer going to grow, Jakes Roberts says. “There are moments when the good thing goes and we think that was my one shot and that was my only opportunity…just because that good thing is gone that didn’t have anything to do with your growth…you saying goodbye doesn’t mean that was the end of your purpose or your destiny.” Because she can say it better than I can (and I’m still learning myself), I thought I’d share her message with you this Sunday in the hope that Jakes Roberts’ words will ease the discomfort, disappointment, and even confusion you feel in the midst of your transition and transformation.

No one gives a fuck about Chanel West Coast except maybe Chanel West Coast, because she’s still out here creating content for social media to try to prove to the people just how wild and crazy and hard she is. From fake hip hop accents, to being as “hood” as she can be, in what is not very hood but her rendition of hood, she’s MTV so it’s watered the fuck down hood, if anything it’s racist like Black Face “hood” but the black dudes who fuck her probably don’t care or think it’s anything racist as she sucks her ass off their dicks, like she does Ass To Mouth with strippers…you know cuz everything is a bad self produced reality show…because it is.. I remember a time when you would get beat by bouncers for pulling out a phone, now it’s all coordinated and staged because strippers aren’t stripping to be secret money making tactics, now it’s part of their online persona…and try to become inspiration for J.Lo movies…that’s our era… JOIN THE NEWSLETTER YOU ASSHOLES!

Cardi B is too trashy for me, and I like real fucking trash, I just don’t like this kind of trash. She is the exact kind of annoying stripper I avoid at the strip club, rocking her fake Chanel or maybe her real Chanel, acting like she’s a big deal of the club, the featured dancer even though there are no featured dancer. If you’ve been to a stripclub you know what I mean, and that is that you’d avoid this type… Thanks to the perversion of this era, the strippers get more clout cuz the rappers validate them, by fucking them, remember Amber Rose…..it’s like from working the pole amongst meth addicted down on her luck sluts, to private jets with dumb fucking overpaid rappers, buying all their hood rich clothing with their hood money and basically RUINING the kids who watch them and look up to them like they are Britney Spears or the Spice Girls or Madonna….because Cardi B’s audience are all 15 year olds. Anyway, she brought out her fake ass, with a ghetto Tat that she thinks is fabulous, cuz of her pile of money, and twerked for whatever reason, probably trying to promote her J.LO movie….about the stripper life..cuz society is excited about strippers now…when strippers should never be celebrated, always treated like gutter whores trying to take advantage of you by taking all your money…bastards..
