The Diary of a Mad Black Woman


When you really love someone, you can't just be their friend.~ Orlando to Helen

Ok, by a show of hands who has seen "Diary of a Mad Black Woman"? What a great movie and for those of you have never seen it, it is a must see! It just hit my Favorites Chart!

I think the reason that I love this movie so much is, because it pointed a few things out to me. The saying at the top of here, from Orlando to Helen, is one for example. Having faith and patience and compassion and compromise (and no compromise even!), and sticking to your guns even when you just want to raise cain! It's about enduring and trusting in the Lord when you just wanna give up on Fairytales and Love. When life seems to be trying to hurt You and missing everybody else, to never give up, because the Lord plans everything for a reason.

Sometimes, patience is a hard thing to have. Sometimes, you just want to grab your life away from God and run with it because you think that you can do it faster and better. But, if you want things to work out the way that they are s'posed to, then you must trust in the Lord to put things right, and to do things HIS way, in HIS time (Eccles 3:11). Because, weren't you the one who messed things up in the first place?....
