How's your record?

I was driving home from work and 'Oh My Record Will Be There' by Bishop Gilber E. Patterson on the Singing the Old Time way project began to play. This song really brought me back to a proper perspective of viewing some of the situations in my life.

It doesn't matter what people see, acknowledge or do; what matters is that I do what's right and it will be recorded. When I stand before the judgement seat of God I will be there alone. No excuse, No explanations no more chances to get it right.

So in a world where people are not being held accountable and we are enabling each other in abyss of mediocracy there is one standard that we will give an account to in eternity. Even that secret thing done in the dark will be recorded.

I'm thanking and praising God for this brief and simple song. I hope it touches your heart like it has touched mine.

Lyrics - "Oh My Record Will Be There"

Oh my record will be there - be it's pages dark or far
When I stand before - before that judgement bar
Oh and when the book shall open wide - In that morning by and by
Oh my record, oh my record, it will be there

Podcasts #1 .... My New Ear Hustle

Quick post.

I hope everyone is well. I just wanted to share with you a podcast (is like a web based radio show) that I love to listen to is Jillian Michaels Podcast. 

This week's topic is "Holiday Control and Firing Your Doctor"

Take a listen and peruse her playlist. I absolutely love Jillian.

Enjoy!

Be beautiful inside and out just like God intended.

Song of the Day - 12-08-11 "Cover Me"

Good morning people of God! I hope all is well. This post will be short and sweet.

On of my favorite songs this year is "Cover Me" by 21:03 featuring Fred Hammond.  I was watching the "Blessed & Cursed" movie by Deitrick Haddon and it was one of the songs the praise team sang in rehearsal. I have been on this ever since.

This isn't new but I love it because sometimes we need some one to intercede on our behalf. Sometimes we forget that Jesus is interceding for us at all times so we ask our brothers and sister in the body of Christ to pray for us.

As christians our prayers should be for others more than for ourselves. We should esteem our brothers and sisters above ourselves. I'm not saying that we shouldn't pray for ourselves but sometimes we are so wrapped up in our wish prayer list that we are selfish and don't recognize the struggle of others.

So this season give the gift of prayer. It will go farther than material things.

You can go as far as to type it up and frame it and gift it to someone.

Be blessed.

Guess What I'm doing now??

Did you figure it out yet? Huh? Huh? Did ya?

I'm back to crocheting. YAY!!! (party horns and confetti) One of the many things I'm working on this year is finishing what I start. I was feeling down the other day because I just didn't have the money to give gifts during the holiday to my circle of fam and friends. Then a thought came to me that I could crochet some things to give away. Kill two birds with one stone if you will. So I started with taking apart a scarf I started almost 2 years ago, that was black friday evening and I finished it on Saturday morning. So I have to make some finishing touches you know trim the tails and wash it. I will take a pic of that one later.

Now I'm on a project for my sister. It's a Beret and Scarf set from the Bernat Silk Accessory Crazy book. So I am currently working on the top of the hat.

I'm using Red Heart's Super Saver in Lavendar.

I will keep you guys posted on the progress. Crocheting can reallly be a calming experience.

I also want to learn how to knit.

If any of you are on Ravelry.com please look me up under Sheetaboo930.

Smooches.

Oh Give Thanks!!

Hello beautiful people!! It is time to give thanks!

The wonderful thing about remembering what you have been blessed with is it removes the complaining spirit and moves the focus off of what you don’t have. We all have had a time in our lives where we didn’t have the things that we now haves. When I say things I’m not just talking about the tangible but the intangible as well.

I believe that we should make the effort to be thankful all the time but this time of year is a reminder of all people that it’s good to be thankful. It’s good to help those that are in need and its good to know that there is always someone worst off than you are.

So I’m going to share some things that I’m grateful and thankful for. Remember that this is not all inclusive and its not a prioritized list.

Live

Health (Good)

Shelter

Food

Clothing

Employment

Sanity (that’s relative lol)

Growth

Self worth

Integrity

Love

Family

Friends

God

Jesus

Holy Spirit

Salvation

Forgiveness

Repentance

Prayer

K-Love Radio

Leslie Sansone (she makes those bad workout days better)

My love for singing

My love for Praise and for Worship

My Love for learning

Have a safe, happy and blessed Holiday Beautifuls.

Week 1 of Beautiful Transformations Challenge - Green Smoothie

Good evening beautiful people. I have had a challenge week but I have had some small victories. One of them is that I made my first green smoothie.


My recipe can be found here if you are on MyFitnessPal.com.

When I shopped I didn't have anything particular in mind but after watching a view videos yesterday I decided to use spinach as my green base.


Spinach, carrots, avocado, banana, frozen blueberries, mango, pineapple and vanilla coconut milk.

Ok let me back track. Originally I wanted to buy a juicer and do green drinks but a good friend suggested revisiting smoothies because the texture will make it interesting. So I pulled out the trusty blender filled it with spinach put the carrots in and banana and some coco milk at first it wouldn't blend but after I added more milk it was easy to blend then I added all my frozen fruit (no sugar added).

I was sooo excited and it was soooo good. I didn't add any sugar. I thought I wouldn't get past the green look but I didn't have a problem at all. It was good and filling.


Feel free to leave recipes suggestions and your smoothie stories.

Smooches.

The Pursuit of God - God and God alone...Thoughts

I’m currently reading “The Pursuit of God” by A. W. Tozer. This book was written in the 1940s. I love the way it reads. It's poetic. I also the love the word usage a lot of words and phrases we don't use in the context as he does but it is very easy to understand. He's like a Shakespeare for God. :-)

I want to share an excerpt with you all. I believe this is relevant to today’s church and society. Do you agree or Disagree? Please comment on your feelings or reactions to this.

“Every age has its own characteristics. Right now we are in an age of religious complexity. The simplicity which is in Christ is rarely found among us. In its stead are programs, methods, organizations and a world of nervous activities which occupy time and attention but can never satisfy the longing of the heart. The shallowness of our inner experience, the hollowness of our worship, and the servile imitation of the world which marks our promotional methods all testify that we, in this day, know God only imperfectly, and the peace of God scarcely at all.

            If we would find God amid all the religious externals we must first determine to find Him, and then proceed in the way of simplicity. Now as always God discovers Himself to “babes” and hides Himself in thick darkness from the wise and the prudent. We must simplify our approach to Him. We must strip down to essentials (and they will be found to be blessedly few). We must put away all effort to impress, and come with the guileless candor of childhood. If we do this, without doubt God will quickly respond.

When religion has said its last word, there is little that we need other than God Himself. The evil habit of seeking God-and effectively prevents us from finding God in full revelation. In the “and” lies our great woe. If we omit the “and” we shall soon find God, and in Him we shall find that for which we have all our lives been secretly longing.

We need not fear that in seeking God only we may narrow our lives or restrict the motions of our expanding hearts. The opposite is true. We can well afford to make God our All, to concentrate, to sacrifice the many for the One.”

Hey, Hey, Hey

Hey Y’all,

Ok here’s what’s going on with me.

Hair:

Monday Night I started installing Yarn braids. So each night I’ve been braiding. So Tuesday and Wednesday I wore hats to work with a bang. Thursday I had enough braids to pull into a ponytail over the center that wasn’t braided yet.

Tuesday's Hat

Wednesday's Hat

Thursday's partially braided ponytail.

I received my gift from the giveaway  for the KinkyNappyHappy Protective Style Challenge which was a Satin Scarf.  I will do a review video on that later.

I also received my prize from Curly Nikki’s Forum Giveaway. I received some Pantene Shampoo and Jane Carter’s Solution Curl Defining Cream.

Weight loss:

BeautifulBrwnbabyDol is hosting a 2 month Weight Loss Challenge on her website, YT and FB page. I have decided to participate.

I will post my goals and plan to come out better than when I began.

I ‘m also thinking about trying my hand at juicing that will be very interesting.

Finances:

I’m still reading the book I have bough but I haven’t any action plan together yet.

YouTube:

I’m celebrating my 3^rd year of wearing natural hair so I’m working on some beautiful things for my subscribers.

Spiritual:

I’m still working on my memory verses. I have slowed down the pace though. I went from learning a verse a week to one every two weeks but progress is progress. I’m also working on being more thankful and giving God all the glory, honor and credit for everything that has taken place in my life.

This is a picture of the sky as i was leaving work yesterday. Looks like a storm in them there clouds!

Talk to you later.

Be blessed.

Song of the Day

Check it out!!
(drafted 8-5-11)

Yet another "Re-Commitment"

Listening to Jillian Micheal's Podcast the last couple of weeks has really helped me to know that I'm on the right track. I also learned that somethings take time. Not everyone is going to lose 100lbs in 12 months. Sometimes we have to work with being honest with ourselves. We have to acknowledge our issues and deal with them to move ahead. We have to adjust our self talk. The way we think, believe and see ourselves plays a large part in believing what we can or cannot accomplish. There are reasons why we self sabotage or refuse to do the things we know are better for us.

I have to realize that I am worth it. God doesn't make junk. He gave us a mind to think and a free will so we can change and grow. If we choose not to do that, it isn't God's fault because He didn't swoop down from heaven to be our hero and take away our problems and give us the easy way out. He has already given us everything we need to accomplish every dream and goal imaginable.

We are made in God's image. We have the power and knowledge and strength to do the impossible. The faith to dream and make those dreams come true. We have the power to speak things into existance. We can speak success into our lives. We can create change in hopeless situations.

I have recently gotten back to working out but I am still struggling with this food thing. At first I was thinking that I would just not do anything while I get my head on straight. I'm working on my self talk and completing the 6 session course of Made to Crave and reading the book, in doing this I realized somethings.

I realized that I had made progress in the last year. No I didn't lose a lot of weight while I was weight watchers. No my numbers aren't much better. But lets look at the victories.

• I stayed with WW for a year (a first) I learned and participated more than ever before.
• I walked my first 5k. It took me an hour but I finished it.
• I joined a Coed gym (never thought I could work out infront of guys).
• I am under 300lbs no matter what my faults are 300+ is a danger zone because my knees can't take it.
• I learned not to stick my head in the sand but to acknowledge my problems. I've also learned to take those problems to the Lord and allow Him to work on me.
• I've began doing the work and not just talking about doing it.
• I went to Baltimore on the train from DC to meet people that I've never seen before. I was afraid and at some points downright scared but I did it afraid and I am so glad I did.
• I have started to invest in workout gear.
• I am learning to go at it even when I have to go alone.
• I'm gaining more esteem.
• I'm giving me more grace and love.

That's what I have for now. I'm sure I could ramble on forever. I'll talk to you all later.

Be blessed and be a blessing.

Encouraged by a Coworker

Written  June 2nd.

Good morning lovelies.

Just wanted to share a lil about where I am at on this journey to health. I have been with Weight Watchers (WW) this time since August of 2010. What prompted me to go was leaving a doctor's appointment on the verge of tears. I was going to do some dangerous and unnecessary retail therapy. As I drove to the mall I remembered (thank You Holy Spirit) that the WW place was on the way so I went and checked out the hours and planned to go back. So instead of retail therapy I got me some breakfast and went to my first WW meeting. Since then I would lose then gain. I'm not talking about the weekly fluctuation due to water and our body because as long as I see a downward trend I am doing fine. Then as time passes I would get discouraged then when I jump back on the wagon and start losing I got sick. The doctor put me on an antibiotic that made me sick to my stomach and a steroid that made me hungry. So everytime the naseau pass I would eat up the House!!

After that fiasco it took me a minute to get my strength back I did and then the Holiday's came. I was able to maintain +/- 1 or 2 lbs.

After that I fell out of my back door into a couple of feet of snow and sprained my ankle. So that put my workouts on the back burner and if I'm not exercising then I'm more than likely not gonna eat right.

So anyways a few weeks ago a coworker joined WW with his wife as a support. She has been the poster child for WW losing on average 2lbs a week consistently. My coworker (like a typical male) has been dropping 5 - 7lbs a week. So we keep updating each other on our meetings and their progress. Notice I didn't say my progress because I have been with weight watchers almost a  year and haven't made my 5% yet! I was not about to share that but I could encourage someone and share what I've learned and what I struggle with. So this week we were talking and I told my coworker to let his wife know that I was rooting for her and I'm here to support her even though she may not know who I am. My coworker responded oh she knows about you I talk about the office ladies and I also told her how great your doing in WW.

I was dumbfounded and almost burst into tears!! I didn't think anybody noticed or if any improvement was visible. Sometimes I just resigned myself to the fact that I was just going to be fat the rest of my life. I know my clothes fit better and I don't retain water like I use to but this scale just doesn't show that progress.

I know I should be monitoring my measurements to keep a more accurate record of my progress (i'm a procrastinator) but I haven't gotten to it yet.

Anyways I was thoroughly suprised at his comments on how I've come a long way. So I'm back on the wagon.

So if  you know someone that's working on losing weight or improving their life, let them know that they are doing a good job and that you are proud of them. It'll mean the world. It'll will help determine if they perservere or give up.

Have a good day!!

Great Weight Watchers Inspiration

This is a great quote!! It was on the weight watcher's board today. It can be applied to all areas of your life.

"Don't exchange what you want most for what you want at the moment!"

Declarations

Happy Memorial Day Weekend!!

It has been an early and busy Friday already.

I'm at the gym with my music on shuffle. As I'm inviting the presence of God in my workout Marvin Sapp's 'He Has His Hands on You' from his 'Here I Am' album began to play and it was exactly what I needed at this point in my life.

Ever declaration and determination of change for the better has been met with challenges. Dealing with a job, family, church work and working on growing spiritually, financially and educationally can become overwhelming and down right stressful. I was sharing with my bestie about how overwhelmed I was and she sent me this in a text yesterday and it really helped.

Psalm 61:2
From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

I've been told that I'm "at that age" were hormonal changes will amplify stress and irritation. Well I bind that in the name of Jesus. Lol seriously though a lot of days the simplest words or phrases will bring me to tears. I am by no means a cry baby but lately I have begun to wonder.

This song has begun to comfort me because I had forgotten that God has His hands on me. He sees and He cares about every area of my life. He said he would never leave me nor forsake me. He said I could bear whatever He allows.

I know that this is a rough patch and some things I have to face and decisions I have to make will be difficult but as long as He has his hands on me I will come out all right.

“Romans 8:28 (King James Version)

28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”

So now I’m encouraged and stopped beating myself up for my shortcomings and just walking in faith that God is allowing me to live and learn and grow. I am by no means quitting or giving up. I will not be deterred from my goals and my destiny. I have dominion over every area of my life and God has given me the authority to declare and decree change in the world. I will stand on His Word!! That’s it!! And that’s all!!

Take a look at the lyrics and listen to the song and enjoy!!

Prayerfully it ministers to you as it did to me.

Smooches!!

Who Switched Numbers with Jesus

Written November 11, 2008 by Roscheeta Brundige

One night I was watching TV when the phone rang. It was one of my god-sisters. We greeted each other then she asked “Who switched numbers with Jesus?”

I asked, “What?”

She says, “Who switched numbers with Jesus?”

I said, “Ok.Say that one more time.”

She says, “Who sings ‘Falling in love with Jesus’?”

After I answered I relayed to her what I initially heard. We laughed for a while and I actually laughed for a few days and still chuckle when I think about it now.

I had so many jokes. I could’ve answered, “Well who answered when you called.” or “I didn’t know He changed His number.” “If He didn’t answer He probably didn’t want to talk to you,” etc.

But when I seriously thought about it, it’s sort of sad.

When we first accept Christ we are excited and full of zeal. We put Christ first in everything. Prayer isn’t a struggle. Obeying His voice isn’t a struggle. Taking all your issues and concerns to Him in prayer is automatic.

Then something happens. We shift Him from #1 to #2 from #2 to #3 so on and so forth.

Slowly but surely our life becomes more important than the Lord. Our job, our children, our spouse and even church work takes becomes a greater priority.

When problems arise we don’t even consider Him as our first and only resort or resource.

We call our friends, family and church members before we even consult God. We move from acknowledging Him in all we do to only coming to Him after we have tried to fix our problems ourselves and when things were good we didn’t consult him at all.

We forget about “Thou shall have no other god before me?’ “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart and with all thy soul and with all thy might?”

“You can’t serve two masters you hate on and love t he other.”

Recently I’ve reprioritized my life and put Jesus back into #1 position.

How about you? Do you want to join me?

I promise it will be worth it!!

With Love prayers and blessings,

Roscheeta

Midnight – Brent Jones

Don’t wait til midnight

When there is no sunshine

You are a stranger until there is danger

You say that you love me and can’t live with out me

Then when do you call me only when you need me.

Check out "Her Best Hair"

The "Her Best Hair" blog is one of the best blogs ever. This is the work of my Curly Nikki sister and hair idol Tiashautee. We share a love of natural hair and Gospel music.

I really enjoy her concise and to the point videos and writing style. Her posts aren't full of filler. She isn't trying to mimic anyone's blog or writing style. She's just being herself and doing what she does best.

Check her out and show her some love.


Smooches!!

Have a great Friday!

Living so God Can Use Me

I had a talk with Jesus! I want to live so God can use me. Any time and any where.

I want to keep my relationship with God on point so that I can pray for others and hear God's voice  and obey. I don't want any blood on my hands. For example I was lead to call and pray with my sisterfriend one morninh. The same day she and her son were driving and something (not a bullet per the police) broke out her windows. Glass flying everywhere but she and baby Boy were fine. No cuts no injury!! What if I was preoccupied, what if I wasn't listening. I know it wasn't me but the power of God. Will God have still intervened? Would someone else had prayed a hedge of protection? I don't know but I do know I want to do my part. I will keep my line clear so when you need me I don't have anything blocking my ability to pray and reach God! I will not let my desire to be married deter me from my calling. I will not let feelings or emotions be the basis of my relationship decisions and be a distraction from doing a work for the Lord!! A lot of single people are distracted from the work of God just becuz we refuse to let people go that hinder becuz of it doesn't feel good.

Well I made a decision that didn't feel good. Yes I cried. I moped but I did it. God has sent comfort and a word to encourage and remind me that He is faithful and that what I desire in a husband He is able to do. So while I see others compromise and try to work it out with the counterfeits or while people judge me about being too picky or being hard on a brother. God will uphold me even if I have to stand alone. I refuse to give in. I refuse to give up and I refuse to be jaded. I refuse to be swayed.

At the end of the day as long as I please God is all that matters!!

God sent an Angel

Tuesday, May 17th 2011

OMG!! You all know how I say God has jokes. He sits on His throne saying "Now watch this!!", as He chuckles.

Well this one was funny but I'm so grateful for it!

So I'm walking to my car a lady says 'Hi. God bless you'. I say 'Thank u. God bless u as well'. She asked if I was affiliated with any church. I say yes. She asks the name. I say Eureka Bible Church. She says 'that's pretty what does it mean'. I reply 'It means, I have found the bible teaching church. Our motto is we are a church where fellowship is real and the Word of God is preached. She asked if I have children. I say, "No, I can't do that until I have a husband". She says that's right and remember to be picky. Be very picky. Its the second most important decision in your life. The 1st was accepting God in your life and that effects eternity your husband will affect your life and your children's lives.

That whole exchange made me laugh then I began to thank God. Now I'm in tears becuz the hard choices aren't always easy even though they are right. I'm crying becuz even though I know God cares and is concerned and is working things out for me he showed His hand thru a lil lady who obeyed His voice. Just to say 'Daddy's here to take care of you' it may hurt now but it'll pay off in the end!!'

I know it may not mean much to some but it means the world to me! Who wouldn't serve a God like that!! So I'm not compromising!! I also want to encourage others not to compromise either. I promise you if you do what's right even if it hurts now it'll pay off later. Sometimes we hold on to relationships becuz it hurts to let go but when you do I promise you God is faithful!!

Trust him its worth it!!

I'm back.....I'm seeking to be "Lost in His Presence"

I know I have been away for a long time.

On the hair front not much has happened. I did install another set of yarn braids. I have retained some length but I haven't been experimenting with styles just working on tweeking my regimen.

On the music front. I have new music but I'm not quite ready to review yet.

But what I am ready to talk about is Vashawn Mitchell's "Believe in Your Dreams" CD.
I'm listening to the track title 'Lost in His Presence'.

Now I'm wondering why does it seem that the body of Christ has lost its desire to be in the presence of the Lord. Lost the desire to be consumed by the things of God. Lost the desire to want to please Him above all others. How has the body become a people that search for loopholes to fulfill the lusts of the flesh and still believe that we are in the will of God and He will still say Well done thy good and faithful servant. How do we expect a well done if we aren't doing His will but our own will?

Now is the time more than ever to really seek the face of God and to get to know His voice and His will for us. Now is the time for praying and fasting and consecrating ourselves before God. We have chased our own agenda for so long that most of our prayers are spent asking God to do what we want, how we want and when we want instead of praying His word and His will for our lives. We need to sacrifice our will and way for His. Then all these things will be added unto us and He will give us the desire of our hearts.

So the next time you call someone "deep" or say "they are so heavenly minded that they are no earthly good" think about it really hard....is it really wrong to want to spend time with God, to worship Him, to have an intimate relationship with Him. To live for Him and not just offer lip service. Are you saying that because they are daring and striving to reach a standard that you are not willing to sacrifice to meet.

Just some thoughts....feel free to comment.


May the peace of God and the Sweet Communion of the Holy Spirit rest, rule and abide with you.

Smooches.

Here are some of the lyrics.

Lost In His Presence
by Vashawn Mitchell

If by chance you look for me
And you cannot fine me
Don't you worry, I'm alright
I am where I want to be
I am lost in His presence
I am consumed
By the glory of Jesus
The everlasting King

I'm rejoicing with the angels
Lifting my voice to sing
Of the power
Of the everlasting King

In His presence
In His presence
I'm so honored to be
In the presence of the King
I am here
Don't wanna leave
The presence of the King

In His presence
In His presence

I'm so honored to be

In the presence of the King
In the presence of the King

I am here

Don't wanna leave
I don’t wanna leave no, no, no

The presence of the King

I am here
Don't wanna leave
The presence of the King

I am here yea, yeah
I am here Lord
I don’t ever wanna leave oh…
Oh thank you for it allow me in your presence Lord
I’m not worthy
But I don’t ever wanna leave no ho, ho…
Oh I worship you Lord
I worship you Lord

Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Don’t nobody bother me hey
I’m in his presence
I am in his presence
I need my joy
In his presence the fullness of joy
So I’m not gonna leave no
No…
I am here hey
Hallelujah Jesus
Oh my God I worship you yea… oh
Holy, holy, holy
Holy, holy, holy
Holy, holy, holy, holy, holy
The presence of the King…
Hallelujah Jesus,
