“Relish the visual of timely rewards...” (Change ayour Garments)
****NOTE FOR THIS JOURNAL: I had a whole slightly-emotional moment with this. While constructing the cover for this journal some of the glue seeped out and sealed the inner flap to the back cover—see image. I was able to successfully separate the covers but the upper flap was a tad on the weak side for me. I added a small panel to return that sturdiness. The journal has no damage per se, I just wanted to be forthright with this constructional alteration. I appreciate you all not only as diarists but also as sisters and I want to give you my best. Much love. Journal information below:
“Gouge envy’s wicked imagination from your mind. The witness if another’s harvest is the occasion of your hope’s renewal and the refreshing of your memory as to how goodness flows in its season. Relish the visual of timely rewards awarded to a worthy sojourner—do not allow that witness to be tainted.”

Queens and servants, sojourners and prophetesses—all wear garments that indicate who they are: what they’ve been bred to be. Garments represent achieved process or change of life. They represent the season of a journey now completed; arrival to a new lifecycle; acceptanxe 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 ade signifying to ourselves and to others thay 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’f 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 trll 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
