I absolutely love this spoken word piece! I discovered it about 2 years ago, but it’s never too old! If you’re looking for a word of a encouragement or a reminder of how valuable and special you are, this will surely give you that boost of encouragement as well as reminding us of the kind of young women we should aim to represent in the world.

Produced by Young Royalty Movement, 31 Status is a great initiative and here is a compelling message delivered by a stunning and unique American poet MissTerious Janette…ikz (pronounced genetics)

And God said
It was not good for man to be alone so he created you
But somewhere along the line someone changed your perspective, shifted your view,
Like Eve, you listened to the wrong voice and took a huge tasty bite of deception
Now your stomachs upset cause your spirit won’t digest it
No longer the woman that walks in the confidence of ultimate, artistic design
Submit your name change, we’ll call you compromise
This is what happens when the Gospel is according to whoever’s at the top of your playlist
And the media has become your Bible
Searching scriptures of magazines to be told you are dancing lead in Satan’s recital
But you are not her and she is not you
Cause we are called to so much more than make-up, hair, clothes and shoes and droppin’ it like its hot
Even if were able to, we are women of a different status
31 to be exact
We are content, with not looking like anyone else
Because we know our differences are not a reason to be jealous but God’s finger print
Don’t run around talking about how there are no good men
We know if we applied half as much effort on the inside as we do on the out, we’ll stop drawing the wrong attention
Slow to speak, quick to listen
Receiving intervention from a higher dimension
Seeking purpose, watching our God given visions come to fruition
Never forgetting
That we have been forgiven much
So we eat, we live, we breath, we give, we even sweat love
Always ready to hear from the women with silver hair
Seeds have been sown and their wisdom saturates our soil clipping our dead ends for growth
You’ll find us always promoting unity
Serving in our communities
Using our gifts and talents as an all glory to God opportunity
Wake up in the morning with the grind for the Most High on our mind
Constantly being refined to be the exact of our architects design
We have no hearts
So where’s the answer before the question
Any man who wants her heart would go to Christ knowing that it’s in his possession
Yes we are beautiful and barefoot in the kitchen of grace
Pregnant with purpose
Baking up praise
Jesus is who we crave
Awaiting to come to full terms so we can deliver back what has been deposited
Knowing good and well one day we all will be audited
Mercy gives us second chances so we ain’t received what we ought to get

We needed an intervention
Christ came to do lost prevention
On a cross he was stretched and fully extended
And we were given an extension
Hear me
An extension
Hear me
Cause this price was worth far more than your finest Indian Remy
I know we can change the things that we don’t like all for a simple cost
But Botox, lipo and implants ain’t got nothing on what was accomplished on that cross
Cause you can’t implant in yourself a new spirit
Or lipo suck away your sin
You can’t lack band your addictions
And you can’t Botox away your depression
We all need Him
It’s time to change your status
31 to be exact
Don’t be afraid of what’s abstract
Let the spirit of God be what attracts
We are women of a different status
This world we will impact
We are women of a different status
31 to be exact
