IRMA

Alright... I'm back at it again!!!! <--- ppsshhh! LAME!

I had not planned on blogging tonight, but after hours of surfing the web I found something that you guys might find as interesting as I did! You all know that I LOVE music... all kinds of music... but what I love the most is that "hard to find" music! THAT RAW, undiscovered TALENT!!! I found an African girl, around my age, who currently resides in France... AMAZING TALENT!!! She is not my favorite vocally, but the girl has MAJOR potential! She is very creative.. and she plays a lot of different instruments! She mastered the guitar!!!.. so you know I'm really feeling her, right?! Here are two videos that stood out to me! She has a lot of original pieces on youtube as well as a few covers! I hope you enjoy it!!! Oh and that SHE IS IRMA!!! lol MY BAD!

"WHO'S LOVIN' YOU"- Jackson 5

"I KNOW"- Irma

Was she not THE BOMB?!... I thought so anyway!!! Check out more ---> HERE

That's all for now!!

Until next time,

P-ce

Oh... and P.S.- The trip to Fl got cancelled. Turns out who I was going with didn't get approved to be off those days!!! :( It's all good... need to work anyway! I got a car to buy!!!! ;)

Passion 4 Christ Movement

Sometimes when I'm bored at work, I watch movies, BLOG, surf the web!... but no matter how late or early it is... I ALWAYS make sure that I visit my favorite website!... http://www.p4cm.com/!

I ENCOURAGE you to check it out! It's a youth church full of teens and young adults, all brothers and sisters in Christ, who are on fire for God! I LOVE THEM! If I ever get the opportunity to go to L.A., I'm going to that church! I often pray that I will find the right people, those peculiar people, who stand out!... who love God unconditionally and still have a joyful, fun-filled life. The people at this church are exactly the type of people I want to meet! They all seem so happy, so cool with each other, SO YOUNG! Often times, I meet young people who are "on fire for God", but they live like the MOTHERS... ELDERS.. and DEACONS of the church. lol I know that sounds mean, but it's true!!! Maybe it's a "Southern thing!" It's my desire to love God and be used by HIM all while remaining fun, YOUNG, and happy! I don't really see that here. I've seen it only once first hand in my entire life!... and that was when I meet the youth in Jamaica! Sometimes in TN I feel like I've found those people and then I'm disappointed when it seems as if they are too high and mighty to have good, wholesome fun... and in some ways are competitive!... For example, if I share what God has done for me, they feel like they have to "1-up" me!... And it's not everybody... just a few people that I've met in my years of being in Nashville! I'm yet praying for the souls of the youth here! Something has to change in order for us to get on the level that the youth in L.A. are on. I don't see the unity! *GAG ME!*

My friends are the closest thing I have to that!!! And believe me... They are ALL SAVED, SANCTIFIED, AND FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST! I just look forward to the day that we are all getting crunk and doing the "dougie" to Jesus Music!!! LOL!!! preferably my "Jesus Music"... but that's a whole nother blog for another day! Just know... ya girl is working on music again!!! YUUUUPPPPPP!!!! Anyway...

There are two girls in particular that I want to meet. Both are young and minister through spoken word. Their testimonies are both powerful and they REALLY have a heart to save the lost! I LOVE IT!!! Blair Wingo seems really cool. She is also the spokesperson for P4CM! I'm not sure how old she is, but she seems to be around my age. The other girl is Jackie Hill. She is a minister as well and an ex-homosexual!... How about she is only 19 years old!!!! She is SO REAL... I've already used her videos to minister to a few people that struggle with homosexuality!!! I can only share so much in my own words... Here are two videos of the girls! I hope that you guys are blessed by these! I WAS!

BLAIR WINGO!!!!

JACKIE HILL!!!!

Anyway, that's all for tonight! I was just on the site and felt inspired to VENT a little! I pray all is well with you guys!!!

Until next time,

P-ce!!!!

I'M DANCING!!!... Shoot!

Ok... Enough with the wreck already! I'm tired of talking about it... and I'm sure you're tired of reading about it! My friend Sabrina knows a lot of people out of town and they have been worried sick about all of us due to our facebook status' or whatnot!!! I love that they care, but at the same time I need to make sure that what I'm speaking is not causing people to feel sorry for me! I really am OK and I hope that my facebook status', my twitter updates, or my blog entries don't say anything different from what I'm feeling! My situation isn't the best but God works out every situation for MY good, so I'm good! Amen?!... AMEN!


I decided that this year I would have fun! I wouldn't allow any situation to come in the way of my happiness... be it MONEY... PEOPLE...DRAMA... whatever! I'M HAPPY THIS YEAR and that's THAT on THAT! The fun began with my trip to Atlanta! I LOVE to travel!... and I plan on doing a lot of that this year! Next stop... FLORIDA! I've been invited to go to Destin, FL at the end of the month and I gladly accepted! I can't wait! I have to get my guitar fixed so I can play on the beach! This is a much needed trip!... and I'm ready to go! LIFE IS STILL GOOD, FOLKS! lol Who said you can't dance in the rain when the storm comes?!! SHOOT! I'M DANCING! I'm going to Texas in May with a close friend! **LET THE GOOD TIMES, AH-ROOOLLLLL!!!!**



Speaking of my guitar!!!... I don't think I ever uploaded a picture of my guitar since the guy painted it! I LOVE IT!!!


I really don't have much else to say! I'll be sure to keep you updated on everything concerning my wreck when I know more!... and... I'll upload pics from my trip when I return! HA! This is gonna be so much fun!


SORRY SO RANDOM... I had to change the atomosphere on this here blog before it became the most HATED blog ever!!!

Until next time,
P-ce!

This TOO Shall Pass!!!

AS BAD AS I WANT TO SCREAM... I CAN'T!!!!

AS BAD AS I WANT TO COMPLAIN... I WON'T!!!!

GOD IS TOO GOOD!!!!!

I'm still working on changing my thoughts! lol!!! As you can see, I'm getting better! Today was different. I can't call it a bad day... and it wasn't the best day! It was NEUTRAL! I received text messages and phone calls all day! Some I answered... some I didn't! I'm just not in the mood to explain every little detail to people right now... and those who I've talked to so far want to know EVERY LITTLE DETAIL!!!!

I spent some of my day sleeping... another part of the day on the phone with people about my court date and my car... and the last part chilling before it was time for work! I'm learning quite a few lessons as I go through this. Some are hard, but definitely something I need to learn and grow from. Others are not so bad! I'm just ready to see what the end will be! Things are still looking kind of shaky, but I know it will all work out for my good! I base my life on Romans 8:28! "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him,[a] who[b] have been called according to his purpose."... AND THERE IT IS! Plain and Simple!

Keep me in your prayers as I continue on this journey of growth in a lot of areas in my life!

GOD BLOCKED IT!!!

Lol! Remember that song?! I liked it for like a week! I'm not really a fan of gospel music anymore. That's why I'm laughing at my subtitle. Good song though... and very appropriate for what I'm about to tell you.

I was speaking with the guy who towed my car today and he was telling me about the damages. Mind you, I can't really tell you what my car looked like other than what I described in the last blog. My hood is scrunched up and the bumper in the front was hanging down really low. I couldn't really bring myself to look at it any more than that. He didn't realize it, but as he shared what damages where done I couldn't help but Thank God. It took a lot not to cry over the phone. God was right there with me! Yea.. I know the scripture that says He will never leave nor forsake me... but I actually had PROOF that He was there! lol...

I was told that my air bag came out later... as he was towing my car! That to me was a blessing! I drive really close to the steering wheel. That's how I hit my head on it. If that airbag had gone off at the time, my face would have been all jacked up! THANK YOU JESUS!!!! He also shared that my battery had been pushed so far back that it was almost in my car. IT COULD HAVE SHOT THROUGH MY WINDSHIELD!!!! GOD IS GOOD, GUYS!!!! "God blocked it... He wouldn't let IT be so!" I love Him!

I've tried to complain... I've tried to worry... I've come close to crying again... but I'm done! I'm all cried out! God has shown Himself too much. He loves me... and I can tell! I feel safe and I have an indescribable peace about it all! I know God will work it out! Phillipians 4:7 says, "and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."

So I'm good... and I'm getting better every day!!! Ttyl

Until next time,

P-ce!

**GOD KEPT ME!!!!**

Remember when I said I would post a pic after I attended the wedding on Saturday? Well, I have some NEWS for you guys!!!...


Saturday was the most HECTIC day for me! I had so much to do and I wasn't sure if I would have enough time to do it all! I had not done my hair... My nails weren't painted... I still had to pick up my dress from the dry cleaners!!!! It seemed like my to do list just kept growing!... but somehow I managed to get it all done... and was making pretty good time!

By 1:25pm I had managed to finish my hair, take my shower, and was ready to put on my clothes! WHY when I put on my stockings THEY TORE?! First of all, I THINK STOCKINGS ARE FOR GRANDMA'S! I really didn't want to wear them... but my friends thought it would be best that I did. I completely honored their suggestion because they know better than I do how to wear dresses... and what to wear with them. When that happened, I was frustrated! I quickly did my makeup, put on the rest of my clothes, and made my way to Macy's. I get there and they DID NOT have the stockings that I originally bought. I went with some very similar!

I was still making good time. My plan was to make it to the wedding at 1:30... but as long as I made it there at or before 2pm I was good. Well guys, at 1:55pm I was just about there! I could literally see my exit and......

I HAD A WRECK!!!

I hit this car from behind! I remember (it all happened so fast) looking down and when I looked up my head hit my steering wheel... HARD!!! I could not believe it! God is so good... My friend Melissa called me IMMEDIATELY after I hit the car asking where I was as if she saw the whole thing! She was at the church saving me a seat! That was GOD... I needed someone to know what was going on... someone I knew would intercede for me!!!!

So that happened... and I sat there for what felt like 2 or 3 minutes completely disoriented! I mean... I didn't know what to do! I wanted to check on the people but I had to get myself together first. I was out of it... I was shaking... my head was hurting a little! I just needed to breathe!... So I did, and tried to make my way out of my car!... MY DOOR WOULDN'T OPEN!!! What the heck?! I climbed over to the passenger seat, in my dress, to go and check on the people I hit. They seemed to be doing fine... shook up just as I was! The passenger in the car was a bit of a drama queen!!! LOL!... but hey!... We'll see what comes of that later. They called the police, so from there I waited.

I knew my friend Renee wasn't far behind me. She was on her way to the wedding as well. I called her and she was there in no time! I NEEDED her there! She was so supportive! I called my mentor as I waited for Renee and she drove FROM MURFREESBORO to be there for me! I love her sooo much! She is like my second mom! She always looks out for me!... definitely a Godsend!

The ladies that I hit went to the hospital! I was hurt, but I didn't want to go to the hospital... I just wanted to get my ticket and leave! The process was a lot longer than I thought! There were a few issues that needed to be resolved. Tamara, my mentor, took over from there and asked Renee to leave! From there... LOL... I'll have to throw up the "To be continued..." sign!...

A LOT HAPPENED from that point on! It looks like the worst situation of ALL TIME... but I know this will make for one POWERFUL testimony! I can already see where God is at work! Today's sermon "Fight On" was confirmation for me! I have a lot of fighting to do... but once this is over!... You better believe I will let you guys know! I WILL say that I have some PRAYING FRIENDS! The situation could have gone A LOT differently than it did! THANK YOU GOD FOR GRACE!!!!!!!!!! I could tell they were praying! After calling them later, I told them that someone was praying!... they told me that they were in the bathroom praying for me!! ! LOL... I'm crying just typing this! They were there for me and I APPRECIATE IT SO MUCH! Remember this blogger friends... YOU NEED FRIENDS!!! They are a few of the many vessels that God uses to help, encourage, and bless you!!! I'm learning that more now than EVER!!!

After I left the scene, Tam took me to the reception and I had a great time. I almost went home because my head was starting to KILL ME!... but I wanted to see Jeremy... and I knew he wanted to see me. My friends told him what happened! I was a little upset about that at first. I didn't want him to be worried about me when he should have been celebrating on his sister's wedding day! It was cool though. I'm glad they told him... because I don't think I could have done it. I found out later that he would have been mad if he didn't know as soon as it happened!

I thought I was gonna cry when I saw him. He was sooo compassionate. He cared sooo much! You would think I would be used to it by now! He's just so dang on sweet! He hugged me tight... kissed the knot on my head... and didn't force me to tell him anything. His main concern was that I was ok... And I was when I was with him. We danced... and laughed... as if nothing ever happened! It ended up being a really good evening! I'm glad I decided to go!

Kim (his sister) and Rashad are the cutest couple I've ever seen in life! My favorite couple in the world is Heathcliff and Claire Huxtable! Kim and Rashad make for a close second! They are best friends... and it shows! They had such a good time together! I LOVED IT! I'll be praying for them! God definitely had something to do with their relationship! BEAUTIFUL!

Here are a couple of questions I've been asked a lot! If you have any questions... feel free to ask!

HOW DO YOU FEEL?!

A lot better today! After the reception I was in so much pain. I'm not sure if I did too much... or if it was just the aftermath of the accident. I did have a huge knot on my head. Thank God that's gone. I have a small bruise now!!! I've been popping pills like crazy though. If my head still hurts tomorrow, I'm gonna have to go to the doctor! 4real! Ugh... You guys know I'm not too excited about that one!

WHAT ABOUT YOUR CAR?!

I can't really say right now. I hit them pretty hard. I didn't really look at my car... lol... I mean, I looked at it... but I didn't really look to see what kind of damages were done. My grill is destroyed, the hood of the car is pretty much scrunched up like a balled up piece of paper, and under the hood... IDK! Tam said my battery and engine looked pretty jacked. I'll keep you guys updated on that one!

DID JEREMY LIKE THE DRESS?!

Lol... Everyone knows that I DON'T LIKE DRESSES! I wore that dress for him!... and he LOVED IT! He complimented me all night! I'm glad he liked it! I've actually decided to wear them more often.... I wasn't as uncomfortable as I thought I would be! I've decided that I will wear one dress a month to church until I am completely comfortable! lol Jeremy will be happy to know that!

Soo...WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS...!?

lol... Ok I made that question up! I said all of that to say... I HAVE NOT ONE PICTURE FROM SATURDAY!!! LOL... Maybe I'll put the dress back on... and style my hair the way I had it that day while I still have the curls... Umm... naaawww! I probably won't do that!... but there will be other times where I wear a dress!... TRUST! ;)

I think that is it!!!!

To allll of my friends, THANK YOU! You know who you are! I shouted you guys out on Facebook! You guys are a blessing! Thank you for your encouragement, your love, and your prayers!!! Thank you Sabrina, Melissa, and Sophie for letting me stay over the other night and for watching over me! You guys are awesome!!! AJ!!! HOMIE! Thank you for praying! I know you would have been there if you could!!! I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!! God couldn't have given me better friends!

BABY!!!! YOU ARE THE BOMB.COM!!!!! Thank you for being there, for keeping me distracted, for all the LOVE you've shown! You know you're the best boyfriend I've ever had right?! LOL (how many times have I said THAT!!)

Ok... I'm done! Keep me in your prayers... and I'll continue to pray for you! ;) lol I love you guys more than you know!... Those I know... and those I don't! BE ENCOURAGED!

Until next time,

P-ce
