Show up and Show out.

Why HELLLLLO there!

It has been entirely too long since I have written. Its funny during the last few months it has been some of the biggest steps I have ever made but i didn't have any inspiration to write. HA! I have moved back to Tulsa, OK and have started singing at the Prayer and Healing Center three days a week, I sing frontline on Sundays and Wednesdays, I start traveling with the crusade teams next month, I have had more transitional stuff happen in 4 months than ever before and its been the best thing ever. God is so faithful that when you obey and follow His voice that He always leads you down the right path. His steps are always up one. You really do know the voice of the Holy Ghost... now for crying out loud LISTEN!! Stir up that gift on the inside of you. Pray out the plan! The biggest thing that I battled before I came here was this insane feeling that it would be such a huge step backward. But, just like I said and recognized myself, it was just a feeling. Don't ever be lead by your feelings. God is the all knowing all powerful, stinkin awesome Father who knows you best and planned out your life before yo mama's water even broke. Trust that He has your best intentions at His heart and He desires a relationship with you that even exceeds your expectations. In Psalm 18:35 it says " You give me Your shield of victory, and Your right hand sustains me, You stoop down to make me great." It is God's greatest desire that we are great and goes to any length to have that happen! Think about the significance of that! He wants you great. SO listen to Him. Trust Him and watch Him show up and show out on your behalf.

new chapters-- greetings from the oc

hi everyone!

to my slight embarrassment and awe I found out that people actually do read this so i thought i would update.


life is good. i now live in orange county and have been since dec 2nd. things couldn't be any more different i think than they were for the last 3 years. i now live with an amazing married couple who are a testament of strength love beauty and perseverance. their love and commitment to each other and to growth honestly pushes me forward everyday-- believing that one day i too will soon find my counterpart. i no longer hang out with a bazillion people, go out on the town, walk down state street, sing at two churches-- just one and yet i feel remarkably confident that this is exactly where i am supposed to be. its funny how god can move you around and shake things up and how no matter how great the trials or the seemingly dry seasons are, as long as you are rooted and ground in Love, not only will you make it but you will come out on top. i am thankful that this is a new year. a new year of growth, a new year of awesome accomplishments and a new chapter to my fastly growing book with some tales that only a few people could see to believe.
