It's been while...lots to add...

Uhhhhh...it's November 30th and it's been a while so I'm just going to post this Draft more than a month ago so I can get it out and move on to more pressing issues!
~Jazz

It's been a while since I've written but as I have been inspired by my girls Satra and Starr, I'll get back on it because I have a lot to add!
Let's see.....I'll just go backward. Dang, I'm thinking that sometimes I really just need to sit back and appreciated life a little more often. It all goes by so quickly that I forget all of the amazing things that I have done and all of the blessings that God continually pours out. I love this blog, 'cause it jogs my memory....helps me keep tab of the good things in life (and of course the rampant thoughts I'm always having!)
Here's the run down:

So last night October 18, 2004: I saw the one and only, extraordinarily gifted (not just talented but GIFTED!) JILL SCOTT . Whoa! The Girl, sings from her gut...from her soul. She's reppin' for our generation. Yes, we have talent within this generation too and she is the epitome of it. A friend's significant other (I'll keep it at that until I get approval to post more) plays bass for Jill so we (Mom and I) had the pleasure of seeing him perform.

Saturday, Ocotober 16: Mom and I (we're kicking buddies once again) went to see ANGELA DAVIS. She is still the awesome sis that she was in 1969 when she got arrested at age 24!

I'VE FIGURED IT OUT!!!!!! HE TOLD ME

So that it...I'm a writer of the Gospel of Jesus the Christ himself! I was sitting here at work when I started to write. I new I loved poetry but I found out today that it's my method it's my means. I should say it His method and His means. I'm a poetic writer of the Gospel of Jesus. Oh man this is awesome. Before writing I prayed that God would simply reveal to me what the heck I'm passionate about; what truly makes me tick; what's something I could with or without pay what's been buried on the inside. I prayed that prayer in the bathroom (I know it's graphic but it's true) and when I came out I had to write cause you see writing is what I do. For real I feel like The Cat in the Hat. Poetry just comes out. See I'm not writing this right now. But I'm the vessel trough which it comes. I'm a writer of the Gospel. Don't mistake I'm not saying I'm adding to it. But I'm sent to put it in today's terms...make it real to the extent that someone will understand the message sent 2000 years ago. I'm a writer of the Gospel of Jesus and for real what a relief to know what I'm doing how I'm supposed to do it and why: to let the masses see that Jesus is a real guy who walked on this earth free us all from sin to let us know that we are redeemed though we sin time and time again. Now I don't have to rack my brain with schemes to make money. All I have to do is walk in His purpose and his guidance will provide. Dang this is hard to do with a job, because His word is always flowing inside. I have hard time containing it. It wants to come out all the time. But from 8-5 I need some discipline to do the job that's - WHOA I just prayed for some discipline and the flow stopped. Gotta go. Gotta get back to work.
PEACE!

Birthday To-Do's!!

So here are some options for this evening's Bday festivities:
Still haven't decided what to do. Everyone who knows me knows that Salsa music is the key. It's a lil' difficult as everyone doesn't latin dance but oddly this song keep popping up in my heard: "It's my party and I'll....." I'm going to try to consider others in the after-dinner decisions but it seems like that will be a fight between Heaven and he--.

The downstairs room hosts various local dj's for an intimate dance experience.
