		<description>That was beautiful article. I've watched Mary J mature from the girl with the soulful voice on the "What's the 411" album, to a woman struggling to make the transition to being a Godly woman.



It was also refreshing to hear a woman who is definitely strong and opinionated, express her shortcomings and strengths in her relationships, and how she has decided to initiate the change in the relationship model. She also notes how her profession of her relationship with Jesus Christ, compelled her to make a lifestyle change that would reflect that profession. Too many people profeess things of the Spirit, but are immersed in the world. She is providing a wonderful example, and true words of wisdom</description>
