1. I will sing of your love and justice; to you, O Lord, I will sing praise.
2. I will be careful to lead a blameless life-- when will you come to me? I will walk in my house with blameless heart.
3. I will set before my eyes no vile thing. The deeds of faithless men I hate; they will not cling to me.
4. Men of perverse heart shall be far from me; I will have nothing to do with evil.
5. Whoever slanders his neighbor in secret, him will I put to silence; whoever has haughty eyes and a proud heart, him will I not endure.
6. My eyes will be on the faithful in the land, that they may dwell with me; he whose walk is blameless will minister to me.
7. No one who practices deceit will dwell in my house; no one who speaks falsely will stand in my presence.
8. Every morning I will put to silence all the wicked in the land; I will cut off every evildoer from the city of the Lord.

OK...my body is certainly fighting me right now. So I'm going to write as much as possible before sleep takes over me.
I've never read this Psalm before but it seems so clear. It's wrapped up in verse 4. I will have NOTHING to do with evil...NOTHING. This Psalm requires some serious grace in application (as all Scripture does) but I know that there are some people in my life, some habits, that I have no business associating with. YES YES, I'm not out and about wildin' out, but people act like drinking, partying, lying, homosexuality and having sex are the only sins that can be committed. Yes, we all fall short, but I wonder how CAREFUL we really are to lead a blameless life. I can do all things through Christ and in Christ. Without Christ, all things are IMPOSSIBLE but with Him, all things are POSSIBLE. Father, we need you more than ever to put away our sinful nature. Our flesh is drawn to the world...Let your Spirit arise in us...this generation, that we may hate sin and draw nigh unto you...That we will not compromise in any regard...That we will stand up against sin without fear. That will stand boldly for righteousness . Give us the grace to lead a blameless life through your son Jesus Christ, whose blood has washed away every sin. Lord we praise you. Give us a heart that is humble, that is not prideful. Help us to cut off EVERY evildoer without hesitation. Guard every gateway that leads to our hearts. Only allow what is good and what is of God to enter. That which is not pleasing unto you, let it be blocked out. Father, we know that you have called us for a specific purpose on this earth. Let us not be a hinderance to the fulfillment of our destinies. Lord, we thank you for your love. We honor you because you are just and you have reconciled us through Jesus. Thank you Lord. We give you all the glory and honor, for in Jesus' mighty and matchless name, we pray. Amen...

On the City that Never Sleeps
I went to NYC for 5 days and had an amazing time. I got a chance to spend time with my BFF from high school and her roommates.  I  explored various areas of NYC (i.e. Brooklyn, Downtown, Midtown, the Bronx, Suburbs).  I did a little shopping and of course I hung out with mad friends from college. I had a wonderful time! Not much of a touristy vacation but spending time with my loved ones is really important to me...so I'm very satisfied and will be back!

On Crushes
So I, in agreement with one of my coworkers, have decided that it is pitiful that the only people in our lives that are crush-worthy are celebrities.  Like, I seriously cannot think of one person in my life that I would even remotely consider to be potential...Darn DMV...  While we're on the topic, my new celebrity crush is Lance Gross from Meet the Browns.  He is a gorgeous chocolate brown man with a beautiful smile. Darn Eva, she's a lucky lady. Somewhat on topic, while on spring break in NYC, I totally had NO contact with the coworker that was trying to date me...so I think it's kinda faded which is good because I totally have problems with rejecting people I see on a daily basis. Phew...

On Working Out Salvation
I suck...but I'm not doing anything about it. Not because I don't want to but I'm just not.  Maybe I don't have passion, maybe I don't really believe.  I don't doubt that Christ is King and Savior...but I sometimes wonder if I'll ever be who He wants me to be. It's like I barely try. I'm not wildin' out but I certainly am not 100% spirit minded. I feel like I'm that lukewarm person that the Lord can't stand but I have no idea how to heat it up. I take that back...I do know how to heat it up...I'm just a lazy bum...Pray for me PLEASE!!!!

On Career
I totally don't know what the heck I'm gonna do with my life. I hate being a teacher in Baltimore.  No money, no support...I need a career that's fun, that pays, and that doesn't require me to risk my life on a daily basis. But what can I do...I don't even know what I'm qualified for and I certainly have forgotten what it's like to interview...

On New Music
So there are a lot of haters on Diddy's new 112ish group, Day26.  However, I must say that I'm going to endorse them strictly on vocal ability.  They've got some good songs and some OK songs but vocally (minus one of the guys who seems to be very rooted in 90's R&B) they're nice.

On Grad School
I have this paper to finish...soooo...let me get to it...

On One of the Best Nights of My Life
The show was this weekend and can I just say that Remedy ROCKED THE HOUSE!  Remedy consists of myself and three guys (Nick, Justin and Greg). Everyone in the group is AMAZINGLY talented.  I love being in the group! The guys are believers, they're hilarious, and sooo encouraging.  Being around people that cause you to grow is the best!  Anywho, the event was going well but the guy who sang before us kinda put a damper on the place.  He vocals were ridiculous but for some reason, he just lacked favor (as Bona said).  People were talking throughout his WHOLE performance.  The whole night, no one had been on the dance floor.  By the end of our set, the floor was packed and people were doing the electric slide.  It was great! I loved it!  It was just a wonderful experience and the people who came to support me made it that much greater!  My pseudo dad from work, Mr. Spruill and coworker, Turkey, Onyeka and my bestest Bona!  Everything was PERFECT!!!! We're soon to be recording or at least that's what Greg said. Annnnnnnnd I hear there are more gigs to come. This is my dream and I'm SOOO grateful to God for allowing me to live it.  I remember last year wishing everyday that I could be doing this and the dream is manifesting right before my eyes.  It's such an amazing thing to know that God is mindful of me.  I LOVE HIM SO MUCH!

On Being a Vessel
Being used by God is probably the most amazing feeling EVER!  To minister while being ministered to is awesome. I love how GOD can touch each of us at our various points of need.  So thankful! So thankful!  God just wants us to be available to Him. We are all he ever wanted! With our imperfections, our mistakes, our bruises, our ALL! 

On Guys
Weird...

On Jumper
Jumper was such a COOOOL movie.  The special effects were really cool (i know i already used that adjective).  What's better is that it was set in Ann Arbor and featured University of Michigan!  GO BLUE! I was in the theater geekin'! "Hey that's State street! Hey that's Michigan! Hey Ann Arbor Public Library!" It was cool!  I should have taken my UM ID maybe it could have been free.

On Ndelible
My friend Bona is in this wonderful Christian group called Ndelible. They're great and I am suggesting that you all check out they're myspace page and listen closely!
