This post is all over the place but I hope it can bless you!!!!!!!!

OK my fellow readers!
I must apologise again for my lack of commitment but I have been super occupied!
Not sure if I mentioned, but, the show I'm working on is fast approaching and you can only imagine the immense pressure in trying to make sure everything goes well.
One of my poetry acts just cancelled (with good reason) so I am keeping everyone else in prayer! As they say "every disappointment is a blessing in disguise" (hmmmmm) not sure how many people see it like that HOWEVER it is true in some cases.

So, this whole week has really been about MY NEW LIFE. I am really living a new life that is all about the renewal of self. Hitting the gym, not snacking after 7pm, reading more of the word and meditating, cleaning, and cooking. It is really me time. Instead of getting home and turning the TV I relax and take a time out. I think I'll go on a TV fast soon. It is a negative distraction esp. if you're trying to get closer to God. God speaks through his word and his word is in a book.. and yes there is the "WORD NETWORK" but its not quite the same as reading the gospel and experiencing the pages come alive.. I read Philippians for 2 days straight and this verse "He who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it until the day when Christ shall return" Philippians 1:6 that paul used to encourage the church gazzillion years ago just reassured me that God is still working in me. I had (past tense) a habit of condeming my self and ticking off my check list daily on how holy or unholy I was...but it takes God to save you and it is only through the blood of Jesus that we are saved. It is only God who can save! He draws you by his spirit! Oh hallelujah! I love the lord!!!!!!!!!
I am feeling so much joy that I have to pass it on to others.. The lord's word penetrates far deeper than anyone can imagine and I await its manifestation!!!
AMEN! Ooh how painful it has been to bite my tongue and receive insults, listen to myself complain and hear others complain too (arggghhhhh), I had doubts about the show coming together, considered leaving the church because of the behind the scenes fiasco BUT GOD. His love and spirit that dwells inside of me is more than the flesh I was born of... and HE who began a good work... y'all hear that! HE who started drawing me by his spirit, HE who instigated the change in me, HE who gives me the strength to hold my peace..will see that I make it to the end and MY FAITH WILL FAIL ME NOT!! GLORIA A DIOS!!!
