These are a few of my favorite songs...

I LOVE Kierra! Ever since "The Safest Place" duet with her mom in '96 KiKi has been singgging...!! And not just singing -- ministering, worshipping... and introducing Jesus in a way that is so unique and tangible to young people.  My absolute favorite song on this project is "In YOU." It takes me somewhere else!! But I couldn't find it on YOUTube, so ... here's my 2nd favorite : ) #MOVINGFORWARD

Honorable Mentions: "Flaws," "Kill the Dragon," "2nd Win," "Reppin' My God," "No Graceland,"and every interlude that reminds us of her family's legacy of singers. That spin on The Clark Sisters' "Balm??" I LOVE. Basically the whole album is amazing, but she's from Detroit ya'll... so you kinda have to be cool to blast this in your car ; )

"Dear Church Baby..." Part 4

My pastor has been teaching recently on the Word of God as a seed, ready to produce -  that God is a purposeful Sower.. sowing Himself into His children and His word into our hearts. We learned that our hearts are like soil, only capable of  producing if tilled well and ready for receiving. 

Are our hearts fertile? Are they good ground?  
Are we open for growth? Are we surrendered to the planting? 

"Dear Church Baby..." Part 3

Dear Church Baby, 

Where are you going?

It was because I knew I needed to stay, in life's hardest trials, that I did.
...Not in my own strength - just relying on His.

These Girls...

I like them -- #mysisters

For Every Time..

... for every time You didn't give me what I asked for..
... for every prayer you "didn't answer.."
... for every replacement, every removal -
... for every clear path, out of the rubble...


... for every time You called me closer when loved ones pushed me away.
... Your hand, Your leading...Your peace and unmatched comfort...
... for every time I didn't hear You, and You spoke a bit louder..
... for every time I didn't fit in, and it was because I wasn't meant to...

... for every time I had to walk away; You put the want-to in my feet.
... for every time I needed to stay and Your strength kept me rooted - more than planted, I was grounded.

... For being an "every time" God  - never leaving me without..

I'd just like to say THANK YOU, every time, I have a chance...

And this is what happens when you try to write a psalm..
