Have you ever felt alone becuase the way you think is sooo different? I have felt this way many time before becasue my goals and visions, and my morals are soo different and not normal or odinary. Today a man named Domo came to our class and when he bagan to speak I instantly saw that this man is great!! I knew that this man shares little peices of my heart which is Gods heart! He as revolutionized my way of thinking, literally with his amazing words and examples. His presents alone brought love, peace, and joy into the atmospere and he glowed! His personality jumped out at you and said "hey, I am a normal guy, living an extraodinary life. And you can do that too" By him comming to our class and giving such inspiring words, I feel empowered to prosper. I feel rejuvinated and reshreshed by his way of life becuase of his wanting to be a secret superhero!! His thrist and hunger to help helpless people is awesome and gives me more courage to do the same. I know that God has given him a gift and I pray that he used that gift to establish the Kingdom of God. I am overjoyed becuase of his realtionship with Christ and I am please that he is a man after Gods heart. I believe that he will accomplish great things and he will inspire others who are just like me to also accomplish greater things!!!

Resurrection Sunday

Sunday was the day where the body of Christ celebrates the death and resurrection of our saviour Jesus Christ. At my wonderful church Harvest Worship Centre, we celebrated with a Good Friday service and a resurrection service Sunday morning.

On the Friday a messianic Jewish Priest came and explained pass over and it truly was an amazing experience as the whole church was able to do it together. I received a new revelation about the Jewish culture and how they are Gods chosen people. Sadly they just don’t believe that Jesus is Lord, and they are still waiting for him. Thankfully the priest that came believes that Jesus is Lord and is trying to convince many other Jews the same.

On Sunday we had an amazing service. People came from many places just to be a part of what we called the miracle Sunday!!!! The church was anticipating and expecting God to work in people's lives and give miracle to people who have sowed good seed. We also had a fire tunnel, which was also very awesome!!! A fire tunnel HWC style consists of all the elders of the church create two lines and people of the church walk though the line while the elders pray for them. Then the pastors of the church are at the end and they pray for you and you are able to worship God at the altar.

When I went in, I was very excited!!! I love when God moves and working in my life. I offered myself to him as a living sacrifice so that he can clean me and make me new again. I was able to leave my hurts from the past at the altar. Also the people praying for me confirmed what God has been telling me.

I just want to give praise and thanks to my Lord who is Lord of lords and King of kings. He is alpha and omega which means the beginning and the end. He is my provider, my tower, my safety guard, my love, peace, and joy, he is my everything. I thank him soooo very much for dying on the cross for my sins. He took the punishment so that I wouldn’t have to. I love You sooooooooo much and I give you my life. I put you above everyone else in the world and all I can say is that I love you!!!!!! AMEN

Prom

Why am I not going to prom???? Hummm???? Well I am taking a stand in what I believe in!!! I am a Christian, I believe that Jesus Christ is Lord and realize that he is the only way we can get to heaven. I also try to obey all his commands and I follow the bible.

The bible talks about how we as Christians should not conform to the ways of this world!!!! What is prom? Prom is something that the world has glorifies for centuries. I thought that the idea of prom and seeing all your friends for the last time is a beautiful idea. But sadly and like always the devil has distorted this celebration and made is bad.

I went to prom two years ago with my x-boyfriend, I saw many girls half naked, drinking, dirty dancing, and I mean like real dirty. It basically looked like sex on a dance floor. Prom has become worldly. Just like I would not go to a club or any school dances, why is prom different?

Before, I always said that Christians need to be lights, and that light is best seen in darkness. Unfortunately that scenario doesn’t work with prom. At prom everyone is blind, and as we all know, blind people can’t see. So my light would make a difference. When I came to that realization, God told me that I need to stop fighting him and just not go.

So, now I am not going. Yes, I do feel left out, but that is a good feeling. I am left out of the devils plan for my life!!!!! YES!!!!

Now I am not saying that everyone who goes to prom is horrible people who are going to hell. I cannot be compared to my fellow class mates because I have allowed God to bring me to levels higher than the rest.

I will never find happiness or joy in what the devil promotes. I will never associate myself with things that Jesus died for. I will never say I am a Christian and act like the people in the world. By me not going to prom, I am standing up and standing out which is exactly what God wants me to do!!!!!!!

Auditoning for Mainstage

Hello world!!! Today I auditioned for my schools production of the 12 Angry Jurors which is a adaptation of the 12 Angry Men. I have always wanted to me in a major school production and do what I love. I would have loved even more is the play was a musical but you can’t get everything in life.

During the actual audition I thought I did terrible, I totally forgot my monologue which is very weird. I practiced many times and I have never had problems with memorization. It was so bad that I actually stopped in the middle!

So now I am just waiting to see if I get a role in the play. I would absolutely love any role that they give me and I know that I will.

Branded by God

In this generation, we have an egotistical view of our selves. It is all about us. We buy clothes that make us look good; we use Facebook and Twitter to allow others to see us and what we are doing. We do so many things that glorify us, our image, and our personality. To prove my point, let me ask you some questions. Would you ever put an ugly picture of yourself on Facebook? Would you ever tweet that you’re going poo, so that everyone you know would look at you differently? Would you ever tell someone important that you are selfish, rude, unorganized, and never on time???? If you care about your image, you would never do these things!!!!! I am the same way; I have the same picture of my on Facebook because I know I look good!!!

The problem with this is that while we are focused on our selves, God therefore has no say. We should be spending the time figuring out what God wants for us, not what we want for us. You should know that God always has the better plan, because his ways are soo much greater than ours. His plans are so much bigger than ours. Our minds can’t comprehend his dreams for us. So which is better, our view of who we should be or God’s view?

I personally think that Gods’ plans are so much better than mine. So knowing this, we should discover what He wants us to do and the plans He has for us. Essentially we have to be branded by God. He already has given us a specific identity, gifts, and character traits.

Unfortunately this task of being branded by God can sometimes be very difficult. If you look in this world, there are soooo many different brands that are very successful and unique. We look to those brands and are moulded and shaped by them. In the world, there are sooo many young girls who wish to be like Beyonce and do everything she did and does so they can be like her. As a Christian we look at other influential pastors and evangelists, and we read their books and buy their CD’s and try to preach like them or sing like them. We become second rate, no longer unique or different.

God has called us to be set apart, different, and unique. He has called us to allow him to shape us, mould our future, and make us great. He wants to brand us, and from that we will create a following of people who will do the same. God intention is never for us to be a no name brand or second rate to someone else. There is something inside of every one that God has already placed there, that we need to uncover and develop. That something could be talent beyond our wildest dreams, or that something could be an idea and will change the world. Imagine if every one allowed God to brand them, our world would be transformed.

So, are you going to answer the call? God is knocking on your door, will you answer? You are called to be soo much more than what you are! God wants to establish a kingdom of people who He has touched and helped so that we can help others so that they can be helped and touched by God. GOD IS CALLING YOU!!!! YES YOU. It is not a coincidence you are reading this Blog, God is calling!!

If you want a change, and you are serious then you can join me in becoming branded by God!! Know that He loves you unconditionally and he wants the absolute best for you. Therefore seek God diligently, ask him what he wants to do. Ask him to reveal the plans he has for you. Become desperate in knowing. Don’t give up when he doesn’t answer right away; He wants to make sure you are serious. How bad do you want this??

Let’s pray “Heavenly Father, I ask that You reveal the plans You have for your people. We love You, we want You, we NEED You, we crave You. We want You to shape and mould us into new creatures that You have designed. God please, show us in a clear way so that we can understand what You want. We understand that our timing is not your timing so we will wait patiently for your answer and we will keep asking You and keep seeking You until You show us. We thank You and GIVE YOU ALL THE GLORY. Amen”

Precious

The movie precious was a heart wrenching, brilliant, thought provoking, movie. I found myself forgetting about my surroundings and all of my attention was devoted to this amazing movie. There was so much depth in this movie and it was filmed in such a way that made the viewer feel as if they were there and in the mind of Precious.

My Mother, my Aunt Ericka, my Nana, and I decided to have a girl’s day. We had some tea (my aunt use to own a tea shop downtown Toronto called La Tea Da), some chips and dip (my mom’s favourite) and got comfortable on my nana’s amazing couches and watch the movie together. It was a very peaceful and relaxing time. We put the movie in and pressed play and the moment of peace and relaxation was stolen and replaced by sorrow and panic. We were about to go on a rollercoaster called Precious!

During the movie, all of us women, especially my mom, nana, and my aunt were triggered by past events that happened to them that were shown in this movie. They were able to relate so some degree to the pain that was felt by precious. I was analyzing the acting, the scenes, the nuances, and so much more while still grasping what was going on in the movie.

When the movie was over, we literally didn’t know what to do, say, or think. We were all still taking in what just happened and we were trying to formulate a conclusion for this movie. We eventually started to talk about how we felt and the things we liked and disliked.

One of the comments that were made was that major events that happened in the movie ended so suddenly, and the movie never concluded the emotion that the writer wanted the viewer to feel. My comment to that was that by not specifying the emotion that should be felt by the viewer, it left room for the viewer to feel their own emotion. I felt that this movie allowed people to feel emotions that are true to them. For example, if someone who gets angry at abuse were to watch this movie. They would be able to feel that angry instead of another emotion such as sadness because that was what they writer wanted to viewer to feel. I thought that this method was brilliant. People were able to relate to this movie sub consciously, and they had to freedom to feel what was natural to them.

Another thing i loved about this movie was its rawness and the realness that was given from all the actors. It felt that real life. I left the movie thinking that what i saw could be a reality for many people. The camera shots and movements made the movie even more authentic and real.

I can go on, and on about how much I loved this movie. I felt like there was soo much depth, sadness, and moments that can never be forgotten. Gabourey Sidibe and Mo’Nique were amazing in this movie. I thought that Mo’Nique was brilliant. I never once saw Mo’Nique the queen of comedy. I saw am sick and twisted abusive mother who has gone through hell. Gabourey Sidibe played precious soo well that if i were to see her on the street i would want to hug her and cry. It would be very hard for me to separate the character from the actor because her performance was so amazing and memorable.

LOVED IT!!!!! I would give it 4.8 stars out of 5. I feel like watching it again!!!!
