Welcome my friend, the more people coming together and helping spread awareness is more powerful. I started writing Just over SIX Months ago and have had over 27,500 blog reads! People from all around the world sending there success story’s to me how I have inspired them in so many ways! It is so wonderful! You ARE a Magnificent person for the fact that you care enough to take your time to help spread awareness. I look forward to knowing you. You can also HELP by putting me on your top friends to help spread the message! I overcame DV thru practicing what I know about ‘The Law of Attraction.’ My passion is to teach others how they can do it as well. READ MY STORY!! Look for… “THE BIG BANG, My husband tried to kill us both, then when he failed, he killed Himself” I was abused as a child then it followed me into my relationships as an adult. I HAVE TRIUMPHED OVER DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.
To God be the glory...the time has come again where the HolyGhost has led me to share another blog. Its actually two this time, but these are more or less my testimonies. Yeah...im cleaning out my closet. Both of these blogs will hopefully draw u closer to Jesus, cause u to repent of any sins you may have committed against God and seek him even more. Can i tell u a lil sumin rite now tho...i stayed in sin until the point i thought i was gonna die, but God sent me an inspirational word of hope bye way of blog from my big sis in christ, so with that being said I really hope u can find some time to ck these out. Oh and if ur in the choir, a musician,or hold any position in the church, i really really want u to swing bye. Its a sad thing to be in church and still be goin to hell. To God be all the Glory. Much love to ya! ps If i dnt talk to you again have a Blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year. Im gonna be fasting from myspace for the last 7 days of the year(thats gonna hurt lol) along with a few days of no food. Remember...Jesus is the reason for every season! Be encouraged!
Hey Mr. Jones. I have a few songs I have written, at least they are on paper as a bunch of words, I need a little help in getting them to actually "look" like songs that flow and all that... I currently have between 14 and 16 as it stands now (some aren't finished though). I would have more but I am working on the revisions to my first book and that takes up a lot of my time. P.S. nobody taught me how to write songs, or showed me how to write a book. Also, I have not had vocal lessons, been taught by anyone to dance, etc. If we can get my words to songs complete with music and such or if you could teach me how to do it then I can sing em'.
A MAN SHALL BE JUDGED BY HIS DEEDS. THANKS FOR THE INSPIRATION AND THE TIME AND WILL TO SHARE YOUR GOD GIVEN TALENT. YOU ARE A GREAT LIVING LEGEND. JAH BLESS ITINUALLY.
