“Honor the urgencies within you…”
“Daughter of Might, you bear tools of reaping, creating, destroying, condemning and resurrecting. Honor the urgencies within you, the multitude of quickening energies, directing you in the power, ingenuity and futurity of your generations—And instructing you in conduct when in the presence of your enemies.”

Queens and servants, sojourners and prophetesses—all wear garments that indicate who they are: what they’ve been born to be by the pedigree of birth. Garments represent achieved process or change of life. They represent the season of a journey now completed; arrival to a new lifecycle; acceptance and operation in a mandate that has its own uniform.
In everyday life when we change clothes it’s an indication to others that we’re about to take a new course of action: fix dinner, go out for the evening (little black dress), workout (gym shorts), turn in for the night (hair bonnet and PJs), etc. However in a weightier sense, when we have spiritually changed our garments it’s displayed in the jokes we nolonger laugh at, the causes we nolonger support, the new focus we have, the TV shows we don’t watch, the parties we don’t attend, and the new way we think and speak. When we have spiritually changed our garments we are signifying to ourselves and to others that we have abandoned an old way of being.
Change your garments. Sing a new song. Joyful beings don’t wear mourner’s rags, Queens don’t wear peasant’s robes and prophetesses don’t dress like those who don’t hear from the Most High. Elder matriarchs wear garments that tell parting crowds their seen and unseen role in their family and community.
Garments tell stories and create narratives. They indicate culture and rank. When your life changes so do your spirit and soul’s garments. Dressing outside of your function is not an option when you are on this journey. Change your mind, change your spirit’s clothes too.
much love and regeneration be yours
