On My Last Straw

How many of you have been to a point in your life were you felt helpless, hopeless, and/or bound by difficult situations? Where, if one more bad thing happened, it would tip the scale. If one more person did you wrong, you were going to go crazy. If you couldn't pay one more bill, you were going to give up. If you couldn't get healed, you were going to breakdown. Many of us feel that we are at our last straw and that the weight of this world is too much to bear. But, I want to let you know that God sent His son Jesus to die for you, to shed His blood. Jesus was beaten and every wound makes you healed. Jesus was talked about but in the end He was the savior of everyone's life. Jesus took two fish and fives loaves of bread and fed 5000. So, know that he can put food in your refrigerator. Know that he can make a way for your bills to be paid. When bad things happen, you are just going through a test. At the end of that test lies a great reward. The only thing you have to do is stand firm on the rock, which is Jesus. Don't stand on sinking sand; stand on the rock. When you reach the end of that trying test; that difficult situation, you can believe that God will have something GREAT waiting for you. He only wants to know that He can trust you with YOUR blessings. He has blessings waiting on YOU. Would you give your children or your loved ones a gift if you knew they would take it for granted or they would let it go to waste or even throw it away? That's how God feels with us. He wants to bless you; you just have to trust Him. You just have to give Him all of you. Give Him your problems and leave your problems with Him. Don't take them back with you into your home or your surroundings. So, someone is spreading lies about you. Someone is dragging your name through mud. So, someone is bringing up your past. Just pray for them. Love them anyway, because God will bless you for it. At the same time, the same ones that are talking about you cannot deny the change you made when you began to live for Christ. The ones who are talking about you probably want to be blessed like you but they are right where you use to be. Bound and shackled by the curses of the world. They talk about you because the devil wants to use them to tear you down. But you have the Power of God to hold you up. So don't give up. Don't throw in the towel. Just wait a little while longer and BELIEVE!, TRUST! that God WILL make a way. Now, what you can do right now is PRAISE HIM FOR IT IN ADVANCE. Praise Him before you even see signs of a breakthrough because in actuality, the moment you truly know that God will make a way, the way was just made. You just have to wait on God. Watch Him work on your behalf. Hallelujah!! Praise Him. Praise Him. Thank you Jesus. HE IS WORTHY TO BE PRAISED!!

Busy...Busy...Busy

Well, we have a pretty busy weekend coming up. Three shows in two days. Pray for traveling grace. I am still anticipating the viewing of our videos, which I haven't seen yet. EEKKK!! I'm bubbly with impatience! We should see the outcome of that busy video shoot day in a few days. After this busy weekend comes another busy weekend. Our Tru Champions Album Release Concert is April 3rd and we have lots to do in a little time. A few days ago we finally put the order in to get our albums manufactured and I can't wait for us to receive them. Fliers have been made but need to be printed and we have to have the venue looking fantastic for the concert. I still have to get with my dancers for some last minute rehearsals and I need to make sure our routines are finalized; no last minute changes. I have had to choreograph our recent routines and I need to make sure they are spectacular. That has been really hard. (Thank you Eric Collins for giving me a blueprint to use!) I still need to go shopping for the event and shop for attire. I know that turn out will be great and all the people that mean the most to us will be in attendance. So much to do, so little time. WHERE DID THE TIME GO?!

VIDEO SHOOT

Wow...words hardly can't express how proud I am of what I do. Puntin and I had a wonderful time shooting our "Ballin'" and "I'm A Winner" videos yesterday. Xavier Burke and Samson Omaivboje did an awesome job and were great to work with. Lots of our supporters, family and friends came out to support and be a part and I want to THANK them all. GOD BLESS EACH OF YOU. You helped to make it all possible and the shoot as successful as it was. THANK YOU JESUS...HE IS SO GOOD!! The video will premier on April 3rd at SOS Ministries' new location at 7:00 p.m. at Puntin and I's Tru Champions Album Release. IT WILL BE A CONCERT THAT YOU WILL NOT WANT TO MISS!! So mark your calendars and get ready!! Also, thank you everyone that keeps us in your prayers. We love you all! We will keep ya posted!
MUAH!

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!!
