Been WAY too long... Press On!

Hey what up people!! I don't even know if anyone even reads my blog anymore... But I haven't hit this page up in a couple of minutes. Haven't had much time to just write. Been real busy with Rhema Soul stuff. I'm in love with what God is doing with us. I know that went from one thought to the next. That's me.. all over the place. But yeah... I just wanted to say how great I think God is. This past week, my faith was being tested to the point I was questioning the purpose of so many things. It's funny how in my point of almost a desperation of an answer to a question that really doesn't have one... God still rapidly gave me words I needed to hear. It wasn't an answer but a direction on how to continue moving forward in my Christian walk. God is amazing how he thinks so highly of us. In those times when you feel like you're just losing all type of hope God comes down and shows himself to remind you he is still there... press on. I just felt like writing this out in visual words I could read and not just keep it in my thoughts... that's how we tend to forget about God's goodness... Yep... another day I'm glad that I have God's grace!

Love yall!

What am I doing?

So I'm writing a blog because I am digitizing. That means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to you guys. I'm loading video into my computer... Anyhoo... I just finished reading all my crazy kids blogs. I love you guys. I receive so many comments about how we mean so much to you and how much you guys love us for all that we do for you. And I do appreciate it. Honestly it's great to hear it from time to time. We get so wrapped up in everyday life and we tend to forget what truly matters to us. Are the lives we touching really being enhanced by our teachings or is it all in vain? But the truth be told... alot of you guys have been such a greater inspiration to us. Our music would have no meaning if it weren't for the lives we are able to directly have an effect on. And more so, it inspires me because I am able to physically see that God still has the hearts of youth who truly love him and know what salvation means. To see you guys excited about going to another country to do God's work pushes me to that next level. To see your praise and worship be genuine in the midst of a generation where God is trying to be silenced causes my spirit to ignite. To know that the words of advice, encouragement, and love are truly being put into practice makes me feel that what I am allowing God to do in my life, in my ministry, is all worth it. As seasons in our lives begin to change, knowing that the group of youth I've had the privilege to work, worship and minister with, my inner being is calmed about moving forward with the promises that God has made to me. Your faces will forever be engraved in my corazon...

Stay Blessed,

How hard will you fight?

I've been faced with one of the toughest fights of my life. In the midst of these moments, I am reminded it is a spiritual battle that my flesh would never be able to handle. When you are called into ministry, and choose to answer that call, the enemy will do ALL he can to shake your world. And part of our Christian walk is understanding that God will allow this to occur in order for us to make it through the fire. As I'm in this moment, I must choose if I will walk the path of humilty or allow my flesh to throw fits of rage. How meaningful is the ministry I've been called into? How hard will I fight for it? ....... My spirit will fight until my flesh has had it's last breath....









Stay Blessed,

Sneeze While You Sleep

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...

Be Blessed
