I remember very vividly sitting in the Broadway theater watching the play The Color Purple. It was amazing and I was blessed to see if 4 times. This wonderful family the Mallah family took a group of us to see it the first time and I was hooked after that. I mean I just love broadway shows anyway but this one, oooo emmmm geee! So I was sitting there and this song came on entitled "I'm here" and when I tell you it was so very powerful, I cried (yes i am a softy, im not ashamed but I can thug out when I need too lol), but seriously I did. It was right there I received this message/revelation and I want to share it with you.
Many, most if not all of us have gone through some rough patches in our life ending up battered and bruised and I dont mean, you were a tomboy like me and you were playing football with the boys type of surface bruise I am talking about those deep big bruises of our heart...you know that saying "wow that cut deep"...that is the type of bruising I mean, the ones you don't think will ever heal. Now I am not a full medical professional but as I remember from lab, dissecting animals (which besides that funky smell I really enjoyed) the vessels encompassed the veins and arteries which are red and blue respectively and a break in these often leads to bruising. From elementary school we remember that the two colors red and blue when mixed together create the color purple. Now look even if I am wrong about the medical stuff, you see where I am going with this right (smile).
So all the pain you have endured, all the sadness, hurt...the bruises...when you do the work to heal be it, therapy, prayer, I chose both, but whatever it is you did or need to do, resulted in the beautiful color purple. And it was that day I found my favorite color! Oh and did I mention the color purple is also a symbol of royalty....so get healed and rock on with your royal self. You are beautiful and you are here!!! Now I told you about this song but when Fantasia sings, I mean sannnngggss, it hits you in your soul! Enjoy <3
Be encouraged...stay the course!
