Hey, hey, hey fam!

Seems like it's been a while since my last post but there's been quite a few changes on my end. For starters, my macbook is officially D-E-A-D. Apple must be crazy to think I'm going to pay $800+ to fix my laptop, so I did the next best thing and bought myself a lil' netbook to hold me down until I can buy an iMac. Truth be told, it's just an object and I'm not that pissed about it (thank God for my external hard drive!), but I do miss the user-friendly interface of a Mac.

(insert sad violin music)

Second thing I wanted to talk about is my poetry. I performed a few weeks ago at a benefit concert for Haiti. Unfortunately, I don't have any footage but people showed me a lot of love. I praise God that I actually feel like I can make a difference in someone's life with words. I've also made the final cut for a talent show at work, which is really cool and nerve-racking all at once. It will be a side of me that people haven't seen so I'm anxious to see how they will react. There's also an open mic event going on in Ottawa soon that I'll be participating in so right now ya boy is writing and memorizing as much as possible. If there's one thing I learned about the performing arts is that you can never be too ready. I have a dream and I'm doing everything I can to make it a reality.

So that's about it folks, another day, another blog entry.

The flesh is weak

It's Sunday and we're on the heels of a new work week. This weekend has been an interesting one full of activities and discovery. I was listening to a christian hip-hop radio show and the host was interviewing two of my favorite artists: The Ambassador and Da T.R.U.T.H. For those who don't know them, you need to leave this page right now and check 'em out on YouTube. It's ok, I'll wait.......

Now as I was saying, these brothers have some amazing music that's uplifted me at times and even educated me on certain subjects. About a year ago however, both these brothers took a break from ministry because they had committed adultery. I remember reading the article and feeling shocked. Here you have two young men preaching the Word, having a career revolving around ministry and they fall to sin. It showed me that we are ALL victims to sin and none of us are perfect or will ever be perfect until God himself makes that transformation a reality. Now the host of the radio was speaking with them both about how their lives have changed and the reason they felt ready to come back to public ministry. The one thing that stuck to my mind was the theme of humility. So many times we think to be holier than our neighbour and forget to look at ourselves in the mirror. But we have to remember that none of us are exempt from sin's wrath. The Bible tells us in Romans 3:23 that we ALL have sinned and fallen short of the grace of God. Not most, not the majority, but everybody on this earth. That's something that we gotta remind ourselves everyday.

My prayer to y'all is to always keep your eyes on Christ and count on Him to give you the strength that we lack because without Him, we are nothing.


''...My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness...''- 2 Corinthians 12:9

Be careful what you wish for

I remember at the beginning of the year, I was asking God to open doors for me so that I can use my talents for Him. Well it seems like He not only opened the door but broke the hinges off completely! I'm rehearsing for a poem that I'll be performing this Sunday in Ottawa and the following Saturday, I'll be performing at another event. Two weekends in a row, back-to-back! Ain't God good? 

I just need to prepare for it all and make sure that I have some good words to share with the people. I'm not too worried because He who guides, provides as well :)

Shalom
