Celebration of Gospel 2010

I know I'm like 2 weeks late but I just watched the Celebration of Gospel on BET.com and it was good but there were some things that disturbed me... LOL. So here are my thoughts.... First off let me say that Bobby Jones is a Hot mess.... I mean seriously what did he have on and why does he have to perform at every COG???? I mean really... lol... Then he did that quick wardrobe change for his 4 min performance that was really unnecessary. I also LOVE Yanna Crawley but her Jetsons outfit was not cute and why did they have her perform with the DIVO Bobby Jones... I mean really... Lol.... Next is Yolanda Adams.... Why did she sing Victory??????? That song is like 5 years old... The audience was just sitting there like why is she performing.... She could've sung an Old Hymn or something.... Ok, Next- James Fortune was good. Rance was off the CHAIN especially with that run at the very end! I was running round this house like a crazy woman when I heard that. You have to LOVE Rance Allen. LOL.......... I love Tye I just couldn't get with him because he was doing all the singing and the 6 ppl he had backing him up were just dancing and lip singing. He should've just done it by his self. I just didn't like it...... HOT MESS! Anthony Hamilton and his wife were one of my Fav's!!!!!!!! They did a really good Job. I've always been a Fan but I'm a huge fan now;-) Fred Hammond's hair cut is REALLY nice.... I love it cause if he didn't take those dreads out they were going to fall out..... Ooooppssss, shouldn't have said that but its the truth. LOL... Love you Fred;-) LMBO @ Donald Lawrence Suit & I'm laughing harder cause I can imagine Richard Smallwood wearing the same suit! City of Refuge choir was really good, I enjoyed them. I'm going to be nice and I won't say anything bad about the director! LOL.... Bebe & Cece were my FAVORITE! They never get old to me... I just love them.... Donnie M. was good but ummmmmmmm We fall down????? That's older than Victory, Ok. Maybe it was a request from Steve Harvey but still>>>>>>>>>>>>I'll end on a good note--- Marvin Sapp has done it again with another Great single... (even though you can tell he was really trying to top never would've made it)....... I enjoyed him! until I blog again.... Have a good One!

Why Can't I Sleep????? UGH!!!!!!

I haven't been able to sleep for the past few nights and its starting to get on my nerves because I've been late for class every morning! I just want to cry, because without any sleep I'll get a straight up attitude. I can't function without sleep!!!!! The crazy part is napping is not a problem but when its time for me to go to bed at night I can't; I hope tonight will be a better night..........

:::::::Heal their Land:::::::

As I watched a video & viewed several pictures of the aftermath of the earthquake in Haiti, tears started to form in my eyes; I started to get very emotional.

The thought of knowing that children, women, and men have died a horrific death from this natural disaster makes me sad. Children were found dead next to schools, women & men found dead, inmates have escaped; its all just devastating. I wish there was something I could do, but all I can do is pray.   I wish I had the funds to get them medical help & supplies, clothes, food, whatever it is that they need. I think that's why I'm so sad. The fact that all of this happened and there's not much (financially) I can do about it. Let's pray for Haiti and those who have family there!

 God Bless

The Whiner

I can't stress enough how much Madison's whining gives me migraines. It's not that I don't love my daughter with everything in me and I know she's a baby but does she have to whine for no reason?I just want to run outside sometimes butt naked and scream. LOL.... I don't know what that would do but it would probably make me feel better! So- the reason I started writing this is because while I was writing my first blog the "the whiner" was pulling on me and whining, why? I don't know! People may read this and say something is wrong with her, but if you're not a parent you probably won't understand and some of you will. If you are a parent and you think its a bit harsh then oh well. People use to think I would exaggerate about being a Mother and about how Madison acts but I was far from exaggerating. When they would come around they would experience "the whiner" and realize I wasn't joking. I love the fact that my daughter is very outgoing and has such a great personality. She makes everyone smile and happy to be around her, give her a minute and she will light up any room, but she can be a handful. Sometimes I'm like how can someone so cute and small get on your nerves so bad. I must admit, the older she gets the better she gets. So- I know this too shall pass and that its just a stage they go through. I often wonder though, I bet God says the same thing about me, cause I know I get on his nerves all the time but he continues to love me anyway. So- I love her and I know I'll get through it! On a brighter note everyone says that the next one is always the opposite (there won't be a "next" one no time soon) so that's something to look forward too!

TwEnTy-TeN

I believe that God takes us through things to make us into what he wants us to be. Some things took place that sort of pushed me into going back to school and I'm glad that I went back. For a while, I was fearful about going back to school because I felt like I wouldn't know how to balance being a mother, wife, & focus on school work. I know people do it everyday but I haven't always been the type to balance a lot of things at once. Lol... However- that's why I love God's word because in his word he states that through him I CAN do ALL things. He's allowed me to believe in myself and focus on what plans he has for me. I prayed to God once and I told him that I no longer wanted to do what Martina wanted to do but what he wanted Me to do. Sometimes we can get so carried away with our lives that we forget to ask God what he wants for us. All I want is to please him and live my life according to his plans. And no I'm NOT perfect but I try to do right everyday. As of right now, I'm excelling in school, better than I thought I would, and I give God all the praise for that. I believe the year of 2010 is going to be a year of prosperity & accomplishment for me and my family because we've been through so much but God has sustained us; and I believe he's going to reward us this year for our faithfulness and devotion toward him. The year of 08 - 09 were the worse years for me and my husband, all I'll say right now is that we'll NEVER get taken advantage of in church again & some other things happened in those 2 years but I think that was the worse thing since we've been married. Anyway- I believe that we had to go through some things to mature as young people in ministry, so I'm thankful for the trials because they've made me into a better person and I grew because of that. I really believe that for the past 2 years we were in a dry season but God is going to do great things in our lives in 2010. This is MY year and I'm going to receive everything God has for me.....
