I'm getting back up again

hi world!

it's a rainy Saturday and I've been meaning to write in length on some thangs goin' on my life...

One day this past week, I was sitting at my desk doing my job. All of a sudden this gargantuic(spellcheck?)noise and shaking came from overhead of the building. For a split sec, I thought "My Lord is here!!!"..there was a fear, an uncertainty about what was going on. It lasted for a few seconds & then it was gone. I looked @the horror on my coworkers' faces. After it was over, I realized that a plane almost slammed into the building!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And that God had spared all of our lives! HALLELUJAH!!
A plane had flew too close to a couple buildings in the downtown area of Philly..there was a few planes & I believe there was some kind of air show going on. People were upset, scared and wanted to go home. I thought to myself "wow, it all could've been over in one split second...this life as I know it". I thought about the people who sat in their seats doing their jobs that day of 9/11. How a plane didn't miss them, but cut right through. Again I praised the Lord. And I thanked God b/c of the peace I had knowing that I would've been with Him INSTANTLY! I thought about the others around me who didn't have that same assurance. I must get to telling folk more about the Lord. I must. I can't be all happy and snug in my assurance and not care about others' uncertainty...God help me be a witness more...increase my compassion for lost souls all around me, in the name of Jesus. amen


So, the Lord has brought another person in my life who loves karaoke just as much as I do!!! She is a Christian and we've been fellowshipping together in different areas of our lives. Divine opportunity has come to a little coffeeshop in the Northeast for us to minister to hurting souls @karaoke. I've been broken by God recently concerning my resistance in singing Christian songs @karaoke. It was painful, but oh so necessary. Folks I've been karaoking for like 15 years now and all of that time I have NEVER once sang a song about my Lord!! how wretched!! God gave me His tears and I repented and sang "Tis So Sweet To Trust in Jesus" last week on the mic!!! Wow, it was such a freedom! I praised Christ for giving me Holy boldness. To put it bluntly, I was ashamed to sing Jesus name @karaoke!! Thank God for saving me from this!


I have been suffering some recent loneliness, as my previous post states. I thank God for since holding me and comforting me and giving me more grace to bear this cross. To whomever prayed for me, thank you.


Lately I been giving up on my recording and poetry dreams. I've been lazy and inconsistent. I've not been believing. God is slowly bringing me back from this and encouraging me in this area. No one's going to do this, but me. No one's going to do this for me. I've got to go forth in the name of Jesus to do all the things He's put in me to do. I'm getting back up again! in the name of Jesus. There's a few producers who want to meet w/me and some studio time coming up. Some shows are coming my way. Thank you God for restoration and new breath!

well that's about it folks. I love you all in Christ the Lord!

peering out from a black hole

loneliness is a stubborn old man
I declare it must be gone
I don't want it in my house
in my skin
in my experience

I hurt
b/c love is unavailable to me...

this is where I'm at

I await for the arms of Jesus to hold me, affirm me, validate me...

heal me

save me.

Oh Lord, yes...You are STILL my Saviour.
