It's been a minute

Okay...so it's been a little while since I've blogged. Where to start???

Well, God has blessed me with some pretty awesome new friends. I've written about them before: Sabrina and Melissa. The past couple of days I've gotten the chance to hang pretty tight with them. Let's see, we went down town a couple days ago to go to this art show and I'm sure can guess what happened...yup, we had fun, looked at art, and pretty much acted a fool. My friend Leah (with whom I never get to chill) came too! It was sooo nice outside. After looking at art we preceeded to make up the next biggest dance craze..."ANKLE ALL TWISTED." We haven't come up with all the words yet but so far we have "ankle all twisted, lookin' like you lifted." Don't ask what "lookin' like you lifted" means because I don't know, it just rhymed. But as you and I both know, song don't have to make sense these days to be a hit. So..."ANKLE ALL TWISTED LOOKIN' LIKE YOU LIFTED." Now the dance is quite simple; you simply stick one of your legs out and move your ankle in a twisted fashion. You can add your own little twist to it as well...look out the for the single LOL. (You know I'm playin right??)

After patrolling the town for a bit and observing the classy attendees of the Gucci Mane concert dressed in supreme haute couture, we went to eat at Cafe Cocoa. I had this like...chicken salad wrapped in a tortilla with honey mustard and some other stuff. It was freaking awesome!! I could kinda use one right now...I wonder if they're open this early in the morning..hmm

So yea, we called it a night. THEN I believe it was like two nights ago...we watched a Tye Tribbet DVD...all I can say is if you don't know about Tye Tribbet...get to know. Sabrina then proceeded to give me a great present...we watched a Cece Winans VHS!!! You know...I have got to break this fascination with Cece Winans. There is no logical reason why watching 15 year old clips of Cece brings me this much joy...is that healthy?? lol oh well..what can I say other than I love Cece. At the end of the tape were some Whitney Houston clips. OK, Cece clips are enough to make me happy for like 2.854 days, but Cece AND Whitney clips...I was overjoyed! lol. There was this performance of her singing My Name is Not Susan and it was amazing...it was like she really wanted you know...her name is NOT susan/"so watch what you say/and if you still need her/then be on your way/don't wanna"...sorry, I'm really jammin right now ;)

We didn't end up going to bed until like...3am, so AJ Keezy and I spent the night. Ok...Sophie Bellevue has the cleanest room EVER. I slept in her room and took and blanket and pillow in there b/c I didn't want to mess up her perfect sheets!! LOL Seriously...who keeps their room THAT clean? I mean, my room is far from dirty, but still...THAT was the cleanest bedroom of anyone under 70 that I've EVER seen. Good job Sophie...one day i'm gonna be like her...one day...

BLU21 Update:

So after our last gig (which went pretty well), we didn't have another one lined up. So I'm like...we need to get busy, but the thing about it was we weren't really rehearsing either. At first Stix and I would just play in our apt. for fun and just to worship, then we started getting requests to perform and it seemed like once we the requests started, we rehearsed less. Well, I have turned a corner. I am more excited than ever about BLU21. I mean I was excited before just to be in a band, but now I'm excited for what God is wanting to do with us. We stopped by Sister Kitty's office yesterday after intercessory prayer (which I will have to tell you about) and she was tellin us how excited she was that we were bringing our guitars with us on the mission trip (Did I tell you I'm going to Jamaica now?? A testimony for a later blog...) I cannot wait to play down there and attend their worship services (which we are having every night). Me and Stix were playing yesterday (not really rehearsing for anything in particular, but playing just because...it felt good to do that again. No pressure of a performance, just worship), and we learned "I Pour My Love On You," and I LOVE that song. Its one of those songs that when you sing it...there is no one else in the world but you and God, and you're giving every part of you to Him. Amazing!!

Like oil upon your feet
Like Wine for you to drink
Like water from my heart
I pour my love on you
With praises like perfume
I lavish mine on you
Till every drop is gone
I pour my love on you


I CANNOT wait...so, now that BLU21 is reaching new levels in worship and continues to develop, please continue to pray for us.

Time: Tuesday, 12 noon
Place: Born Again Church
What: Intercessory Prayer
Attendees: 3!!

Ya'll, Stix and I went to intercessory prayer yesterday (which I am going to do at least one a week now...hopefully...i'll try) and we walked in to no lights in the sanctuary and no people in the sanctuary. I was like...ok, well, let's just go pray. We prayed for about an hour and let me tell you...at first I was like...there isn't even anyone here to lead prayer, what is this??!!...but like 5 minutes into praying y'all I had tears runnin down my face and I was totally enveloped in the glory of God. I couldn't even lift my head. It feels sooo good to spend time with Him and to cast everything on Him, and then to listen to what He wants you to pray for and know that He is sending angels to that very person you're praying for. I love my time with God. I was actually glad that there was nobody there and no one leading because that day, I didn't want to hear anyone else but God.

Ok, well I guess that's about it. I will update you on my "Jamaican Testimony" on my next blog, so until then...
