TGIF

Well, at the close of yet another week I must say that I am really looking forward to this weekend. Today was payday and I have some plans. Also, today marks the 16th Year Anniversary of my parents wedding day. Wow! 16 years doesn't seem that long, but then, it does. To be with a person...for 16 years...seeing them everyday...24/7...365. I can't wait for the day when I will be able to say that Greg and I have been married for as long. I am so proud of my parents. They have been great examples to my sister and I of what a successful marriage should be. Now, take note that I didn't say a perfect marriage. I said a successful marriage. They are so great! CONGRATS GUYS!! I love you both! Well, this was a quick post. Have a blessed weekend, guys! MUAH!

What Did I Just Do?

Guys, Guys, Guys...guess what I just did? Wait...Did I just do that? I think I did. Hmmm... Should I have done that? Okay...I've kept you waiting long enough. I just signed up for a Half Marathon and 5K Run!!! OMG...why did I do that? (Taking a deep breathe) Okay...I'm going to calm down. I mean, I ran track back in the day. Every now-and-then I'll still run a mile here and there. So, this should be okay. I can do this. Yeah...This will be a run in the park, literally. LOL Sure, it's more than the usual mile I run...but if I do this, it might boost my motivation to go ahead and start my work-out program. I need to lose about 15 pounds. I can do this............OMG!!! I just signed up for an Marathon and 5K Run. Guys, please pray for me. The run is on Sunday, March 7. I have 2 weeks to prepare. Whew. I can do this. I really think I can. Wow...a marathon and a 5K run. Okay. Wish me luck!! I love you all!!

MUAH!

Limo Ride

I had a conversation with someone and they said that they wanted to be rich but they didn't want to be famous. My goal is that my music career will succeed beyond my expectations but because of the genre of my music, christian/gospel, I don't think that the "fame" part of being in the music industry would be that big of a problem. I mean, I want to have a lot of money but I never thought about if I would be "that" famous. I don't want to be the victim to media and press. My husband, Greg, always says that he and I will be the Jay-Z and Beyonce of Christian Music, but I don't think we will have many problems with paparazzi; or will we? Hmmmm... I just want to be well off. And no, we don't have piles of money (right now) and no we don't have the fanciest cars (right now)but this weekend I have a limo ride waiting for me and for those few hours I'm B'Sloan, Female Christian Singer/Rap Artist...Christian DIVA!! LOL Look out College Station because I will be hogging the streets!

MUAH!!

Read Me

I just wanted to stop by and write a few things. This won't take long at all. I've been thinking about writing a book. I have always been a big fan of suspense novels and years ago I started one that was lost when my computer crashed. It was called "A Mother's Love" and to my surprise it was very similar to "Precious" minus all the x-rated parts. Also, I planned on having a very happy ending. Someone beat me to it. Oh well, I'm sure there's more to pull from this noggin of mine's. I'm getting an itch to start writing again. We will see. We have a few shows coming up so I am preparing for those. Puntin and I have an album coming out on April 2 and I am very anxious to finish and see how everybody likes it. I'm also on the search for a manager. God Lead Me and Guide My Steps. God Bless you all!

Yo Gabba Gabba

My 3 year old son loves Yo Gabba Gabba. All this week I have been thinking about one of the songs they sing to help kids get the wiggles out and settle down. The dance is so cute and when Lil' Chris does it I just laugh. The song goes; "Hold still.....wiggle, wiggle, wiggle...wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, STOP....hold still." Then over and over and over. And during the parts where they say "wiggle" the kids jump around and dance and bounce everywhere. Then they STOP, and hold still. I might be doing that same song and dance this weekend. I am preparing myself for this years Texas Gospel Music Excellence Awards. WorldWide Impact is performing this year and I am trying something fairly new. For a few months now I have been using dancers and with numerous practices to prepare for this coming weekend, I think the performance will be awesome!! We've had a few trial runs and our moves are tight, together, and energetic!! I can see myself right now backstage singing and dancing; "Hold still.....wiggle, wiggle, wiggle...wiggle, wiggle, wiggle...wiggle, wiggle, wiggle...wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, STOP....hold still." LOL I am so excited and I can't wait to post the video so I can get everyone's feedback on how we did. Keep us in your prayers and keep your fingers crossed for me, because I'm up for an award. Yay!

MUAH!

Testify

I've been thinking of the most appropriate place to share me testimony and I figured I could start here. Well, I guess this all started about two years ago. I started working for a non-profit organization on Texas A&M University campus and things were going well. I wasn't really doing what my heart wanted to do and I actually opted for less responsibility for more pay. But I really needed the money. I had a two year old son that needed to be taken care of. After working there for a year, I was pulled into the office of one of my superiors and as she held a piece of paper in her hand, I was told that I had two weeks to find another job because the organization could no longer fund my position. She then handed me my termination document. I took it pretty well. In fact, I was asked if I was okay because I only smiled with aspiration on my face and accepted what was happening. It was really hard to do but I immediately gave it to God. I had no reason to worry, no matter what it seemed like to me at the moment. He worked it all out because I was blessed to find another position within the two weeks. I am currently working at that position. It is still with Texas A&M, just like I prayed for, and I have much more responsibility and more money. God is good. I really enjoy my job. In May it will be a year since being hired. All together God has allowed 6 pretty good years with the University. But wait, the testimony is not over yet. Almost two weeks ago, while I was working in my office, my supervisor came by and asked if she could speak with me for a moment. She had a piece of paper in her hand and I automatically expected the worse. As I sat down with a smile on my face and desperation in my heart I begin to think about what I had done, didn't do or maybe it was something I had said. She had a very solemn look on her face and I couldn't read her. As she laid the paper on the table she informed me that I had received a raise. OMG!! I wanted to shout. God knows how to bless you. He knows what I need and when I need it and is always on time. I went into my office, shut my door, got on my knees, and beging to praise Him! On top of that, my husband and I were looking for a new place to reside. I didn't like where we were staying and it was only 2 bedrooms. My son didn't have a room due to the fact that with all my husband's studio equipment and the equipment in constant use, it needed its own room. Also, we only had one bathroom. This meant that any company we had, and my husband has a lot of people over recording and what not, would be all in my bathroom. I was tired of this. Our budget was $750 and under for rent and we couldn't find any 3 bed/2 baths in the right area for the right price. I was very close to agreeing to rent a house for $700 that was in a bad neighborhood. But my husband, reminded me to be patient and that God would work it out and that's just what He did!! January 29, 2010 we moved into a 3 bed/2 bath in a good neighborhood. The amenities for the rental property are awesome. And we are paying $50 less than we budgeted! Thank you Jesus! Trust God and believe! There is NOTHING that God can't do. No one can tell me that he isn't able. Serving the Lord WILL pay off! AMEN!
