5 minutes

Hey all
I am recovering from a LONG weekend, yet God is still God and he is still good! This weekend my brother ministered so powerfully at a youth service friday night. The theme of the service was "Called to conquer". He preached about Daniel and his three friends, how the King tried to change their mindset, the way they see themselves and their intake (all by creating new habits for them to take on). Long sermon short, by the end of three years, the king had already created 37 new habits for them to take on and change who they were as children of God.
Scientists say it takes 28 days to form a new habit, so my brother challenged us to create a new habit by committing to read the bible for only 5minutes a day for 28 days!
Just 5 minutes everyday, starting yesterday (sunday). I committed to it and I hope you do too if you read this blog.
God makes so much time for us, how much do we make for him?

love ya

what matters

Hello World

I wasn't going to blog today but I saw some stuff on Youtube and it got my spirit stirred! No I'm not go rent and rant for a long time, but I'm just going to get something off my chest right here. In my spirit right now, i'm praying God "when are we going to get back to what really matters?" We argue over music, traditions, the way we worship, the days we worship___All distractions from the enemy! What matters is Christ and him crucified!! I'm looking at the bible and I'm like, why is that what we do, is So different from what Christ did??? He said we could do more than what He did, but it seems to me like we're running in the opposite direction of what Christ taught.

Do you love Him? then tell people about Him, spread His love and let's come together. We're all hurting and we ALL need Him, Blacks, whites, old, young, men, women--Nobody is exempt. I just want to do what matters, preach Jesus and live the life I preach-it's that simple. I pray that we stop complicating the beautiful word of God, stand for the TRUTH, live the TRUTH and preach the TRUTH-Jesus Christ and Him crucified. He loved the world, died for the world and HE charged his disciples to tell the world about it!!!!

love yall

Father's Day/Son's birthday

Well
this weekend was exhausting! I made it through the spongebob birthday party with a bang. My son had a great time and my guests did too. I decorated everything yellow (spongebob inspired) and I even got a paper pineapple centerpiece (spongebob's home) to add to the decor. My hubby grilled up some good food and we had some good fun. Then I moved on to planning my father's day suprise! I wanted to take him somewhere special we had been a few weeks ago, I knew it would be a great surprise because he loved the place...but It rained! So I went for my backup plan and the place closed early! Yikes
Everything was seemingly going wrong for my Father's Day surprise. so....we brought a brand new umbrella and I decided to do dinner and a movie. But I took him to a place neither of us had ever been "The Elbow Room", it was really cool American Joint, as they say. the atmosphere was perfect, he loved it. we ate some food by candlelight and headed to the movies!
Everything was in the same area, so we took out the umbrella and took a stroll in the rain to the movie theatre. the rain really helped, I thought it ruined everything but it really helped us relax and spend some good time together (without the rugrat) LOL>
I thought we couldn't see "The proposal" because the showing was at 9 and we didn't leave the elbow room till about 940, but thanks to God, they had it playing at 10!!! I loved it, he loved it and we had a grand time!

So what I thought was ruined, turned out to be the greatest date ever!
Note: Sometimes what you think is a set back, is really a setup!
Be blessed people of God

The Proposal

Movie time!
Over the weekend (part of my father's day gift) I took the hubby to see an awesome movie called the proposal. It stars Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds, this movie is a MUST SEE! It was funny, romantic and everything in between. Good love story for all you couples out there. Sandra plays this pushy boss (Satan's mistress, is the nickname her assistant gives her), she forces her assistant (Ryan) to marry her, so that she can stay in the country and keep her job_if he doesn't marry her, she will be deported and her job will be given to a man named 'Bob' that she fires, in the first half of the movie. LOL. They end up going to Alaska where (ryan) her assistant is from and the rest is a funny, funny, movie. The movie was clean and the story line was great. Go see it! Good movie for couples! I give it two thumbs up.
Have fun

the day before

Hello All
It's the day before my son's birthday party and I am in the zone!!!!!!
I have a small budget, which both dissapoints and excites me. I have learned so well to work on a budget and the challenge I have before me today is to get everything I want/need with only a few bucks! This will be part one because in a minute I have to go out and get the decorations. Got the house all clean yesterday so that's set. Have to go pick up the gift and he has to go with me. (so i have to hide it). Ordered the cake already (from a local grocery store) and it will have Spongebob Square pants on it. (his fav cartoon). Busy as a bee I'll be today, oh and did I mention that I still haven't picked up the hubby's father's day gift yet? Yikes!
Well I will keep you posted on my shopping and I hope this will encourage someone that doesn't have a lot of cash, that you can still throw a great party! I'll be back with tips and ideas for budget parties with a bang! Stay tuned.
Love ya

So Good

Just getting ready to do some 'spring cleaning' once again and I'm thinking, man it's so good just to know God. I admit, I am dreading the big cleaning day I have ahead of me, as I prepare for my son's birthday party, but a part of me is just thankful to God. Sort of like a break in the day, I just sat down and started feeling thankful.

Well can't blog long today have to get cleaning. I think I've missed the concept of spring cleaning, I was always under the impression that it was like a one time thing, but lately I find myself spring cleaning about every two weeks. Maybe I'm just obsessed with keeping things clean, how about you? It's something about a clean space that just frees me and gets me inspired to do something great.

Oh, don't forget, Father's day is fastly approaching. Let's not complain or reflect on the negative, but let's just be thankful for a dad (even if you don't have one of your own) i'm sure some dad, somewhere, has touched your life and you should show him thanks on Sunday!

Be back soon with a father's day/my son's birthday post (they are both in the same week, yikes!_)

Love ya

It's Monday!

Hi peoples
Hope all is well.
I just saw a movie called '21'...its the story of this math genius who wants to go to Harvard Med School, but he's too broke so he applies for a scholarship. He doesn't 'dazzle' the scholarship folk so he has to find another way to get the money for school. So, he ends up joining an undercover gambling team, (that have mastered the game of blackjack) under the leadership of his college professor. they teach him how to 'count cards' and the rest is a great movie! I liked this movie because it was real simple and clean cut, not too vulgar and an easy story to follow. Go see it! it's funny and great for a friday night.
ON another note,
I made a great meatloaf the other night. I typically ruin meatloaf every time I make it, but this time I found a great recipe off the net and it came out great. the key was the glaze that I put on top of it_I found a great way to spice up that boring ketchup we all use! LOL> check out the recipe at bhg.com, my fav place to find recipes and great ideas. In fact i'm heading there right now to pull up party ideas for my son's third birthday! boy time flys when your having fun. Be blessed and be happy today. YOu can be miserable anytime but make today a happy day.
Love ya

praise dancing

Hello all
As you may or may not know, I love to praise dance! recently I posted a video on youtube and to my surprise many people do not understand 'praise dancing' so I decided to post some knowledge today.
First things first, praise dancing is a form of PRAISE! yes it is biblical, all throughout scripture you will find people praising God both in song and dance!
The reason I dance is to glorify God, he loves to see us dance just the same as he loves to hear us sing or tell him thank you.
Praise dancing is amazing to me because more and more churches are accepting this ministry and it is blessing people tremendously. God should always be glorified in any dance and the music one dances to should glorify him as well.
Now as with any ministry of God, the enemy is always going to immitate the annointing. So don't lose interest if you see some immitation out there, but pray for those that dance only to glorify God and to make his praise glorious!! It may be new to churches today, but praise dancing is very old, like I said earlier, it's biblical__Miriam the prophetess danced with the other women before the Lord in a time of celebration and we all know David was never ashamed to praise God in a dance. there are many many more examples, but I don't have space (check out the old testament scriptures and the Psalms) So encourage, pray and help a praise dancer or a group of praise dancers any chance you can. As I lift up God's name in the dance, I am always praying that someone will watch and see the God in me and He will touch them with his everlasting love. Once you've been touched by God, you'll never be the same.
Dancing in His name

I got a Praise

Open your mouth, scream and shout: I GOT A PRAISE!
That's what i've been doing since about midnight last night.
I spent some time crying out to God and feeling all hopeless and then He spoke to me, so gently and so simply_Praise!
Mind you, God has been telling me about praise for a week or so now, but I think I've really got the picture finally. I need to offer up Praise ON PURPOSE to God! You do too! I know you praise, but there's always room for more. Step out of your comfort zone and praise God in a new way, how about a dance? Any praise dancers out there? You don't have to be an expert, just say a prayer, turn on some music and use that body to give God some true Praise! He loves it, He wants it and you got it right in your mouth! and hands, and feet and.....you get the point.
So this blog is to encourage you to Praise God today, open your mouth and your heart and tell God how awesome he is to you and don't forget, tell somebody else too.
I love you all, start praising and keep praising. Go ahead
I dare you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
