But here I stand
Unsure of where to go next. I can't believe it is already August of 2010! Looking back to where I was a year ago, and where I am now, I can truly say that so much in my life has changed.
I find myself doing more than I've ever done. I find myself taking the time now to do more of what I want to do. So why is it that I now find myself at a crossroad? Unsure of which way to go next...Unsure of my next course of action. How do I...? What do I...? When will I...? How will I...?
A few months ago I embarked out on a new journey. I stepped out on a journey.
Unsure of what the outcome would be, I stepped out on faith. The journey has enabled me to meet me new people, to do what I love, and to fulfill one of my dreams. That's right, I left the walls of Shiloh and began singing outside of church. Since the journey has begun:
I've sung background vocals for a local DC Gospel Artist: Lisa Gilliam. The video footage I had was removed from Youtube after the group changed...:: Le Sigh ::
I've joined/formed a Gospel Praise and Worship Group: (Video footage coming soon)
I started singing at Open Mic's in the area. (Below is footage of me singing "Summertime" the week of Lena Horne's death)
I've sung at music conferences, sung at weddings, and even on Bobby Jones...Well let me take that last one back. I was at the Bobby Jones taping, and I was singing Potter's House really loud and Bobby turned to hear who it was and smiled as I was singing lol Does that count?
And I'm happy, but still missing something. My life long dream has been to travel the world and singing. I want to use my voice to reach the people. Use it to give God the glory and to help others to know who he is...So how do I? I've stepped out and done things like, submitting video's of me singing to different groups in search of background vocals. As a matter of fact I sent it over to one of my favorite artists, Bilal, today.
I know, I know, I need to wait on God, and I am. I just hope and pray that he hasn't called me and I missed it because I was too wrapped up in my own mess to hear him.
But I'm going to keep pressing my way...and doing all that I need to do so that when opportunity does come my way, I'm ready.
BTW: This 9-5 ish is for the birds...but I need it to pay my bills, so I'm thankful.
Anyway, keep me in prayer...The journey is not over...
Peace, Love, and Blessings
Always
[LOVE]
Forever

So I haven't read your blog in a while. I'm working on staying up with this social networking worldthat we live in. Anyway I think I read at the perfect time. I have always been inspired by you, hey it was you who got me to Shiloh :). This new journey sounds like an exciting one and with your spirit and determination I'm sure you will succeed. This is a journey that I've got to follow. Love ya mama and I can't wait to read more.
