Did Jesus ever bleed for 7 days and still show up to serve?
They said, “Jesus went through everything you did.” But did He ever hide his body to make men feel holy?
Quote of the day:
"We cannot heal what we keep pretending isn’t there."
"Jesus went through every single thing you've been through."
I was raised in “the church”:
First, Southern Baptist → then, Wesleyan/Methodist → and finally, Pentecostal/Evangelical. That’s where I stayed the vast majority of my adult life.
And I heard that phrase from every pulpit I sat under.
“He knows everything you’ve ever been through. He’s experienced it ALL.”
It was meant to comfort me,
But it never quite landed.
Because I’m female.
And my body told a different story.
💢 Let’s be real:
Did Jesus ever bleed for 7 days and still show up to serve?
Did He wear a heat pad on his abdomen, pop Midol, or push through cramps with a fake smile? Did He sip ginger tea to quiet the cramping?
Did He birth life through His body? Or endure contractions all the way through a service because there was no replacement, only to have his water break on the way to the hospital?
Was He told His body caused men to sin? Was he told to be as still as possible on the platform during the music service, because ‘men are visual creatures’ and any movement could cause them to lust instead of worship?
Did anyone ever measure the hem of His robe before He walked up to the platform?
Did they accuse His voice of being “too much”?
His emotions too loud?
His questions too bold?
Because I was.
And so were millions of women.
I wanted to believe He understood. I really did.
But my body told a different story. And that story was sacred too.
And still… I loved Jesus.
I loved His teachings. His fire. His tables-overturned kind of love.
I still honor the stories of compassion, of turning over tables, of seeing the unseen.
And I will forever honor the Divine Spirit/Source that sat with me in the wreckage when no one else did.
But this isn’t about attacking Jesus.
This is about telling the truth.
There are things Jesus—the man—did not experience.
And pretending He did erases what women live every single day.
This, dear ones, is called spiritual gaslighting.
And we can’t heal what we keep pretending isn’t there.
This isn’t bashing. It’s exposure.
I’ve been accused of “bashing.”
But I’m not a basher - seriously. That is not the intent of my heart.
I’m a truth-teller.
I shine light into places that were kept dark for too long.
I've memorized much of the Bible during my life; I've studied, discussed, analyzed, and compared versions to the original Hebrew and Greek texts - and at one point, I was enrolled in Bible College studying to become a pastor - which was a feat, considering the way the majority of religion views the roles of women in the church.
And I know what the Holy book says about bringing things out of the darkness and into the light.
And so I write…
To reclaim the sacred.
To include menstrual blood and holy water in the same reverence.
To say the things we were told were “too much.”
To hold space for every story that was silenced in a pew.
Here’s what I know:
You were never made to shrink.
You were made to be sovereign.
And the voice that shamed you?
It was never Divine.

🎨 Visual Oracle: Reclaiming the Voice
“What safety looks like now.”
Using colors, shapes, or scribbles, draw a visual representation of what safety feels like in your body today—not what it “should” look like, but what it honestly is.
Start with:
A single color that matches your current energy
A shape that represents protection
A line that moves the way your breath feels
No rules. No outcome. Just expression.
When you’re finished, place your hand on the page and say:
“This is enough. And so am I.”

3 Ways to Reclaim the Divine in Your Own Body
✨ Stop apologizing for your biology.
You are not a stumbling block. You are a living altar of beauty, because you’re you.
✨ Unlearn the lie that your emotions are “too much.”
Your emotions are sacred signals—they’re not shameful burdens.
✨ Honor the places the Church tried to erase.
Womb. Voice. Breast. Rage. Body. Creativity. They all belong.
60-Second Energy Reset: Crown to Womb Clearing
This is a Donna Eden–inspired technique for restoring energy to the parts of your body that were made taboo or “too much.”
How to do it:
Sit comfortably with feet on the floor.
Place one hand gently on your crown, the other over your womb.
Close your eyes. Breathe deeply 3 times.
Whisper:
Sweep both hands outward like you’re brushing off dust.
Repeat daily as a reset from internalized shame.
Why It Works:
This Crown-to-Womb Clearing connects your spiritual knowing (crown) to your creative center (womb).
It activates energy flow between insight and embodiment—so you stop living in your head and start healing in your body.
It tells your nervous system: “You’re safe. You’re sovereign. You’re home.”
This is especially useful when confronting ingrained patterns from religious conditioning that have taught you to silence your inner voice.
And spiritually?
It reweaves what was ripped apart by patriarchal systems. It says:
“I don’t have to choose between being spiritual and being embodied.
I hold both.
I am both.”
