A First Lady...

What makes for a good first lady? Would it be the original Jackie O? Or even Coretta Scott King. Whomever we think of when we hear this title it's always someone who has the most distinguished grace and strength on the side of a very prominent man. As we enter into one of America's most historical political times, I wonder so many things about what I would like to see in the next First Lady. I have read several books, magazine articles and even listened to Michelle Obama, and she is one of the most intelligent first ladies that I can recall. Her mere presence in a room makes a statement that any person can recognize the Divatude in her! As I pray that our country will be blessed with the presidency of Barak Obama I realize so much more that will be taken from their unity with the trials and tribulations of running this great country. Is this Diva ready ? Can you ever be ready to be pulled, beat down, and criticized from your clothes to the choice of food you eat. I honestly don't think so, but I have a strong idea that it has all to do with the foundation in which this first lady stands on. Now, oddly enough I started thinking about the word first lady and what made it a point of discussion...but then sure enough I remembered...the media is now covering the abuse charges formed against the Prime Minister of Turks and Caicos filed on behalf of the First Lady...Mrs. Lisa Ray Missmick. Now...hmmm First Lady of Turks and Caicos? I am not a resident of that country, nor have any relatives that are so I have no idea what she has done for them, their economy or anything related to being called a First Lady. But when you say that title it reminds me of the lineage of women who stood beside their husbands NO MATTER WHAT. I'm not saying that the allegations against the Prime Minister wouldn't make even the strongest Diva run, but what I'm getting at is...was the foundation there to take on such a prominent figure? Where you prepared to stand beside him no matter what. I think this is all too familiar in our relationships/marriages. When we as women stop feeling like "the first lady" why is it natural to run? Don't you think several women made allegations against MLK and JFK? Of course they did. Of course these men made mistakes. But if your relationship/marriage is One with God then no weapon formed against it shall prosper! Relationships/Marriage is not easy. And neither is single hood. Life as a matter of fact ain't easy. But what's most important in life is standing with someone when they are in their weakest, not kicking them because they are down. Relationships should be taken seriously. Families depend on it. If you are on the brink of running try standing first. A woman has a silent power that everyone recognizes we just don't tap into enough. Don't be the drama queen...trying being the Diva you are!
