The Event

Last night my church had a ladies night out. I invited my mother to come with me. It was a great event. I am a bad blogger because I did not take any pictures. Hopefully they will post the photos online. Anyways, we arrived and they had four carriages to take us on rides. Mother and I skipped that. It was kinda chilly last night. It was however very pretty. People who did partake said they enjoyed it. They had tables and chair set up in the parking lot with a oversized tent that had goodies inside. The food was good. We had pastas, salads, and chicken. There were also many deserts and a chocolate fountain. (yummy)

After partaking in the biddles we walked the red carpet to get our picture taken. I thought it was so cute. They had backgrounds set with our Rock Girls logo and the many sponsors for the event. It was very Hollywood.(LOL) We went inside the sanctuary and took our seats for the fashion show. It was cute. They had people from the congregation design, and sew pieces to be shown on the runway. I like this idea because I got to see the talent that we have in our church.

There were many giveaways including: purses, mall gift certificates, gift baskets, food gift certificates, audio sets of pastors teachings, new ipods, and two bridal gowns.

The choir then had to lead praise and worship. None of us knew what songs we were going to sing but it all worked out well. Then the guest speaker was introduced. Her name was Dr Stacia Pierce. She was outstanding. She had a right know word for us ladies. Basically she was telling us that we are in a moment that God is going to show us favor because we are his favored. She stated that it was time for us to get back to being what God intended us ladies to be. Praying women. Deeply planted in the word. She said two things that I know she was talking about me when she said it. 1) God has so many things in store for you that you could not even imagine but he need you to stop being comfortable with what you have and where you are. 2) Because you are his favored, he will align you with people who will work on your behalf. Meaning that sometimes you may not be the most qualified but you get the job anyway because there is something else on the inside of you that radiates to the outside.

It was powerful. Mom enjoyed it. I enjoyed it. Can't wait till the next time.

You Can Run, But You Can't Hide

Lately a few people that I know have been talking about relocation for various reasons. Don't like the city, need to get away from people or family, a man/woman. Some of these reasons not the right ones in my opinion. A relative of mine decided out of the blue that he was going to move to a whole different part of the country. He informed me of his decision 3 days before his move. I did not have a problem with him moving, he is a mature(in age)adult. I did however have and issue with his spur of the moment decision. He said that it was not. (whatever) Now this person is back after 2 weeks. Didn't work out. (What a surprise)

My reasoning for writing this post is that 1. I am plan tired of people dogging my home city. It may not be Chi Town, L.A or NYC but it's your home. It's what you make of it. 2. relocation is not a problem solver. If something is wrong with you on the inside, it will be wrong with you wherever you go until you solve the issue. 3. If you are going to move have a plan. Don't just make decisions and not know what the h.e. double hockey sticks you are going to do.

This person returned and blames things on other folks instead of themselves. Says that me and someone else called them selfish. I know I didn't say this.

Uggh............ I am not in the mood for this stupid crap.

Congratulate me ladies. If you can't tell I am really trying hard not to use any profane words in this post.Every time I go to use one I tell myself that there is power in the tongue. I am working on my deliverance.

Whew... Just needed to vent. Thanks for allowing me to.

It's That Time Again

This Wednesday's new song is by a man who probably the smoothest brother to ever exist. My auntie/cousin loves this man. She met him when he was living and they hung out together. She also plays his Star Spangled Banner every time we go visit her. Hee Hee. Gotta love her.

You guys know who I'm talking about. Marvin Gaye. I had to pick a song, and let me tell you it was hard. How do you pick you favorite Marvin song. So this is not my favorite because I don't have a favorite by him, but I do happen to love this song "After The Dance." Hope you enjoy.

Oh..........

I don't know about you but I loved Patrick Swayze. I was in the middle of rolling over last night and heard he passed away. Prayers go out to his family.

Ya'll Know What Time It Is

It's Wednesday. So I am still trying to stay with mellow songs to match my background. Let me just say that it was kinda hard to pick something. So I thought of the most laid back smooth male RB/Pop artist from the eighties. He was a huge singer, songwriter, producer. Some thought he was a hottie. That's right I am talking about Babyface. So I added "This is For the Cool In You." Upbeat but not too much.

Stay Cool......

So I have been bad on posting this month. No particular reason why. I guess I didn't have much to say. So I will let you in on what is going in my life right now. Nothing much. The fall semester started this week so I am back in the swing of things for that. I had my behavioral management class yesterday. I think I am going to like it. It is an educational psychology course I am required to take. Since my undergrad was in psychology and sociology it is a good fit for me. Finally a class that I don't mind being in till 9:30 pm. I have a foundations class tonight. Probably will be boring but I guess I shouldn't prejudge.

This month our church had a campaign (so to speak) called random acts of kindness. Everyday we are supposed to do something kind or nice for people. So I have been trying to keep up with that. What you don't realize is that you do kind things for people almost everyday like holding the door for someone or smiling at them.

I guess I could tell you that I love reality tv. Let me rephrase I enjoy most reality tv shows. Not all. I like Project Runway, So You Think You Dance, Top Chef,etc. I guess I could do another post just about that. Umm.........

Later.

What Day Is it?

Way Back Wednesday. This weeks selections take me back to when my friend's mother would drive us to school or the bus stop. It seemed like every morning one or both of these songs would come on the radio. Miss Jackie loved " Sittin on the Dock of the Bay" by Otis Redding. I can remember like it was yesterday. The song would come on and she would say " Hey, my song." Bill Withers " Lovely Day" was like a theme song. My friend would always challenge me to hold the note at the end. I also thought that these songs went good with the new background. I wanted something that would remind you of sitting on the porch with a glass of lemonade with mint, or sitting on a dock with you toes lightly touching the water in your cute summer dress.
I know you get the picture.
Happy Reminiscing!
