Kelly Rowland “Motivation” featuring Lil’ Wayne

I don’t listen to the radio much but everyday my alarm clock sounds and they have been playing this song for weeks at the exact same time I wake up! When I finally listened to the entire song without hitting snooze, I fell in love! Since then I’ve been wearing this song out! I think its incredibly sexy and I love it! Luvs Kelly too! She’s such a cutie!

I’m not dealing with any relationship issues or anything of that sort but I’m definitely going thru changes (hence the lack of posts) and this song “Goin Thru Changes” by Ledisi has been stuck in my head for a few weeks now!

“Goin’ Thru Changes” Lyrics

ooohhh yyeaaah aaww baby yeeeaa
I wish that I could stay, but staying here confuses me more
So I’ll go cuz there someone else who cares for me like you do
You are my friend and I don’t wanna cross the line It’s so easy to make you mine
I keep you pushing you away cuz you give me what I miss at home

I’m goin’ thru changes and how do I let you go…(let you go)
My mind is goin’ thru changes..(going thru some changes) yeaa yeaa
And I can’t let you go

Please don’t touch me there temptation wants to rule me
I can’t do what my body is calling out for I’m so confused
You know what I like and you wanna give me all of you
And I think about it too but I keep goin’ thru these changes
Cuz there’s so much that I miss at home

I’m goin’ thru changes how do I let you go…(I gotta get it together)
My mind is goin’ thru changes And I can’t let you

aaaaaa I know what you want, I know what you want
Everything about us will change.. gonna chnage
Everything I feel says here with you… I wanna stay here with you
I don’t really know what to do.. I don’t know what to do
I can’t get nothing at home..nothing
Every time I think about it I’m so confused… so confused

I’m goin’ thru some changes..
I’m goin’ thru changes how do I let you go
My mind is goin’ thru changes (some changes) And I can’t let you

I’m goin’ thru changes(don’t know what to do.. don’t know) how do I let you go
My mind is goin’ thru changes (goin’ thru some changes) And I can’t let you

I’m goin’ thru changes

How do you deal with life changes?

Regardless to my personal feelings towards rap music, in my opinion Kanye West made some incredibly valid points relative to Christianity in his new single ”Devil In A New Dress”. Two stand out lines that made me re-listen to this song several times:

"We love Jesus but learned a lot from Satan"

"I seen good christians make rash decisions"

“Devil In A New Dress” Lyrics

I love it though
I love it though

Uh put your hands to the constellations
They way you look should be a sin, you my sensation
I know I’m preaching to the congregation
We love Jesus but you done learned a lot from Satan

I mean a n***a did a lot of waiting
We aint married but tonight I need some consummation

May the Lord forgive us
May the God’s be with us
And that magic hour I seen good christians make rash decisions
Oh she do it, what happened to Religion?
Oh she lose it
She putting on her make up
She casually allure
Text message break up, the casualty of tour
How she gone wake up and not love me no more
I thought I was the ass hole, I guess it’s rubbing off
Hood phenomenom, the Lebron of rhyme
Hard to be humble when you stuntin on a jumbotron
I’m looking at her like “this what you really want it, huh?”
What we argue anyway, oh I forgot its summertime

Uh put your hands to the constellations
They way you look should be a sin, you my sensation
I know I’m preaching to the congregation
We love Jesus but you done learned a lot from Satan

I mean a n***a did a lot of waiting
We aint married but tonight I need some consummation
(satan, satan, satan)

When the sun go down its the magic hour
The magic hour
And outta all the colours that are still up the skies
You got green on your mind
I can see it in your eyes
Why you standing there with your face screwed up
Don’t leave while your hot that’s how Mase screwed up
Throwing sh-t around, the whole place screwed up
Maybe I should call Mase so that he could pray for us
I hit the Jamaican spot, at the bar, take a seat
I ordered you jerk, she said “you are what you eat”
You see I always loved your sense of humour
But tonight you should have seen how quiet the room was
The Lyor Cohen or Dior Homme thats Dior Homme not Dior homie
The crib scarface couldn’t be more Tony
You love me for me could you be more phoney

Uh put your hands to the constellations
They way you look should be a sin, you my sensation
Haven’t said a word, haven’t said a word
To me this evening
Cat got your tongue?

This week I heard all sorts of disturbing news from those around me. In the midst of everything I deal with on a daily basis I still have peace and that alone is enough to be thankful for. While none of the negative situations directly affected me, I still felt like people were losing the battle not only in their minds, but also in the realm of their mouths. I heard nothing but negativity. I was reminded of this quote posted on the Total Life Prosperity Blog Facebook Fan Page:

“A mind ill with negative attitudes is more dangerous than a sick body, for its sickness is always contagious. Don’t associate with those who are afflicted with the mental sickness of constant negative thinking.”

Soon after my iPod was on shuffle and played Donald Lawrence “I Speak Life”. The song that reminded me how powerful it is to speak positive over my life and the lives of others.  We all need encouraging and this song did it for me!

Remember death and life are in the power of your tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit. (Proverbs 18:21) I’m off to St. Louis for my best friend’s wedding!

Have a great weekend!

Happy Friday Total Life Prosperity Family! I wanted to share something from one of my FaceBook friends. She writes:

“I do believe that everything we allow ourselves to see, say, and hear, on a daily basis shape the course of our lives. I’m very mindful to ONLY allow myself to watch and listen to music that enhances and empowers…and serves the purpose of fueling me even closer to my desired destination. I’ve Chosen To “Raise Up” and live the fullness of the life that was especially designed for me! What about you? Are you ready to “Raise Up” and share your beautiful gifts with the entire world? This is were is begins…..Watch this!”

After watching the video I wanted to know more about “Raise Up” and went to their website

About Raise Up

The RAISE U.P. (Raise Unlimited Praise) message is a very focused one . They believe Raise U.P. is the chosen generation responsibile to be the light in a dark world, salt of the earth, a city set on a hill, and to Raise UP to the standards of Jesus Christ. Their mission is to Raise U.P. leaders within nations. They intend to do this through strategic mediums in popular culture, whether it be in music, media, fashion, entertainment, arts, services, or occupations of any kind.

Raise Up is reflective of the TotalLifeProsperityBlog.com goal- dedicated to promoting wholeness in every area of life. As Christians it’s time for us to step beyond the church walls and out into the world. This responsibility stems from a decision that must be made within each and every individual. A response to God and his call to this generation. He is calling this generation to Raise UP and go for him. We must respond. We must make the decision to go, we must be willing vessels and allow God to shine his light through us for the whole world to see. No matter what our backgrounds, skill sets, or occupations, we are to be the leaders wherever we are. This begins once we believe God and take him at his word.

Will you Raise Up?

I’ve been keeping up with the latest news and specials surrounding Haiti and my thoughts and prayers are still with those people. Yesterday, on Oprah’s Haiti special Rihanna performed Bob Marley’s Redemption Song. There was so much talk about how terrible the performance was I had to view the clip myself since I refuse to actually watch the Oprah show. Oprah asked Rihanna why she chose Redemption Song and she said: ” it was one of her favorite songs, she always listens to it when her back is against the wall.” She added: “she  felt like the people of Haiti needed to hear it.” I won’t say anything about her performance or singing abilities but I did pay close attention to the lyrics. One line in particular caught my attention:

Some say it’s just a part of it: We’ve got to fulfill the book

Since I do believe we are living in the last days, could this earthquake be a “part” to “fulfilling the book”?

“For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.” {Matthew 24:7}

“For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines and troubles. These are the beginnings of sorrows “{Mark 13:8}

“And there will be great earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven”  {Luke 21:11}

 Just something to think about….

Song: Redemption Song

Artist: Bob Marley

Album: Uprising released 1980

In a previous posting Jesus and Jigga, I expressed my views towards rapper Jay-Z and his response toward the widely viewed video that suggests he goes against Jesus in his song “Empire State of Mind”  featuring Alicia Keys where he says:

“Jesus can’t save you, life starts when the church ends”

In a recent interview with radio host Angie Martinez of Hot 97, he addresses the rumors again but not once does he mention the name of Jesus.

Jay-Z:

“I don’t know where it started. I don’t know where it came from. I really think it’s really silly. For the record, I of course believe in God, but I believe in one God. If people must know my religious beliefs, I believe in one God. I don’t believe in religion. I don’t believe in Christians or Muslims. I think all that separates people. I think it’s one God. I think it’s all the same God, and I don’t believe in Hell. But as far as God, of course I believe in God. Am I a part of some sect or cult? That sounds stupid to me. It’s like ignorant to even say, and umm… I guess that’ll be the last time I address that. It’s ignorant to me”

“I can’t even get in a golf club in Palm Springs. I’m from Marcy Projects. Just think about that? People that control the world?”

Do you believe that those sort of organizations exist?

Jay-Z:

“I think there are cliques of friends that control things. I don’t if there is a devil worshipping sect. That’s a little Tom hanks. I believe there are cliques of people that control the world…but that’s just natural process. I’m sure Obama has his people and everything is good but as far as how far people are taking it…”

So you don’t intentionally do this to put people in a frenzy?

Jay-Z:

“I’m an entertainer at the end of the day. Maybe I’ll push your buttons but you know…”
