Paint & Praise: Your Blessings Require Work
Over the last few days, God has reminded me why my time in NYC has been sacred. I've long considered my time in NYC to be on-the-job-training for whatever God has in store for me. This is the place He chose to bring me to an understanding of Who HE IS and Who I AM in HIM. He's been romancing me this week. Gently walking me down memory lane.

Song & Verse: Nothing to Hold On To & Abba by Leon Timbo
I think that’s part of the reason the first line hooked me, I lean not on my own understanding. I've been caught in a loop and unable to see beyond the current cycle.

A good day to you all! God Provides by Tamela Mann God provides, so why do I worry about my life When you come to my rescue a thousand times Every other voice it is a lie God provides God provides In ways I can’t explain and can’t deny The little that I have he multiplies Just when I feel He won’t show up on time God provides He’ll come through When the clouds of doubt rain down on you And test everything you thought you knew Now you finally see what God can do, for you So tonight, Close your eyes There’s no more need to fight Watch God…

ACAD – Rejection: 1 Samuel 16
David Anointed as King The Lord said to Samuel, “How long will you grieve over Saul? I have rejected him from being king over Israel. Fill your horn with oil and set out; I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite, for I have provided for myself a king among his sons.” Samuel said, “How can I go? If Saul hears of it, he will kill me.” And the Lord said, “Take a heifer with you, and say, ‘I have come to sacrifice to the Lord.’ Invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what you shall do; and you shall anoint for me the one whom I name…

Song & Verse: Worth by Anthony Brown
You thought I was worth saving | So you came and changed my life | You thought I was worth keeping | so you cleaned me up inside | You thought I was to die for | so you sacrificed your life So I could be free So I could be whole So I could tell everyone I know

Prayer and a song
Waking up with a song in my heart, mind and spirit is one of the most encouraging and soothing things I’ve experienced in my faith walk. Last night I attended our weekly prayer service. I took a long way – a bike ride along the Hudson River Greenway with a pause on a park bench to contemplate the setting sun and my barren life. My spirits were low. My heart was heavy. My mind and my body were extremely tired. Eventually, due to the limited time I had the bike share bike for, I pulled myself from the bench and continued riding until I got to church. I was an…

Prince on Larry King: Sharing Hope and Wisdom
This is truly a phenomenal interview. I’ve never viewed Prince as a particularly spiritually-minded individual, but he very clearly knew his Source and Provider. It’s very interesting to listen to how he processed and manifested his belief and balanced it with a demanding public image.

Playing for Change – Stand By Me
This video brought tears to my eyes and clutched quite a few from my heart as well. The power music has to transform, incite, unite, uplift, commiserate, to express our deepest feelings is illustrated in this video collage of street muscians from around the globe. This seamless collaboration was produced without any of the musicians meeting each other. They just listened to each others words and instruments. Be a blessing and stand by someone.
