If you know me, I have many random thoughts...
So on Sunday morning I woke up and the VERY first thought on my mind was, why don't we sneeze while we sleep? Isn't that a good question? I don't ever remember waking up out of my sleep because I had to sneeze. Not even when I've had a cold. I've coughed in my sleep. I've burped while I sleep. I've even woken up in the middle of the night because my stomach was cussin (I was hungry--Jamila) And dog on it, we even fart when we sleep! But why don't we sneeze? There's gotta be an explanation. Just some food for thought....

Loss of a great blog gave birth to an even Greater...
Ever write something that may have been one of your best writings and then all of the sudden you lose it? Dag on computers. I just lost one of my best blogs. Technology is great isn't it? (sarcasm) I tried to sit and rewrite it but it didn't have the same feeling. Maybe I'll give it another attempt later.
Anyways, this is my first entry of many. I've decided to create this blog so you can follow me on my journey. Journey to where you may ask... Well I'm glad you asked.
A few months ago God instilled this yearning within my spirit to get more focused on my ministry. I was challenged by a certain minister who has been attacking the form of ministry I am a part of. Immediately my flesh was offended and angered by the words I heard and read, not knowing that this minister had already been stirring up some misconceptions within the ministry. So it challenged me spiritually, as a Christian to truly search my heart and question myself, why is it that I do what I do? And in the midst of my search God has been revealing himself to me and revealing more than ever my purpose and role I will play. Just as Paul defended his ministry in 2 Corinthians, this too will be my stance. So in that chain of studies, I've made a choice like Paul to defend why I do what I do and whom it is for. Isn't it great when a challenge is set before you? It's up to you to either step up to the challenge and be ready for the fight or you can back down and allow some else to fight for you. But like David, he was a man after God's heart. He didn't care that he was a little guy fighting a giant. A lot of us fight giants everyday of our lives. But we must know when it's time to rise up and accept that challenge.
My heart has a burden for the youth, specifically youth that have been raised in the Hip-Hop culture. Hip-Hop has become as mainstream as music comes. And unfortunately what society sees today as "good music" is infecting our minds with garbage. Honestly it's not about the music I do, it's the way I do it and what I'm saying in it. I'll get deeper on that as time goes on. But in the meantime just pray that God will continue to do his work in the midst of the storms. Christian Hip-Hop is an art form, but we need to make sure that what we speak on, will have substance. Yeah it's fun to "entertain" the ones that are already saved. But my heart, my focus, is for the youth struggling to get there....
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you ready to ride wit me on this journey...
