LET'S PLAY CATCH UP!

HELLO FAMILY!

So much has happened since the last time I've written! I promise to play catch up and inform you on everything!

Today I do want to write briefly on the love that we should one for another. This is something that has been on my heart forEVER! Have you ever wondered why God commands us to love our neighbor as we would love ourself? Why God commands us to even pray for those who use us or talk evil about us. Why would God ask us to do such a thing even though we are being treated so badly.

Well family what I have learned is He commends this because it works within the CIRCLE OF PRINCIPLE. This is a phrase that I have coined because I have come to believe that all of Gods principles at one point or another meet up. The principle of sowing and reaping meet up with the principle of treating your neighbor right when you are in need of Gods favor and you've sown that seed, the only thing you can do it harvest it!

My dear friends today, please take the time to love YOURSELF and then love your neighbor. Be committed to planting that seed! I pray you have received my heart today. Stay tuned for event up dates past and present!

"SPEAK TO ALL NATIONS" Benefit Concert..... Make a difference around the world!

The recent tragedy in Haiti presses us all to look at how fragile our lives are and to recognize that we were touched once again by His gentle hand of life this morning, as he breathed life in us again to see another day---we are truly blessed. So, the bible tells us to "let everything that has breath, praise the Lord!" Our praise demonstrates our thanksgiving to him for his grace and mercy and is a testimony to those who do not know Christ. Won't you join me this Sunday in a fellowship opportunity of song entitled "Speak to All Nations"? The details of the engagement are outlined below.

"You are the light of the world---like a city on a mountain, glowing in the night for all to see. Don't hide your light under a basket! Instead, put it on a stand and let it shine for all." Matthew 5:14-15 (NLT)

Speak to All Nations This is an all-out praise party, with music to speak God's word to All Nations! Artists include Samantha Cardwell, Kimberly Sky, Leon Timbo, Tribe of Levi, and Poet D. Love. The concert is in support of Haiti and missions to Kenya, Africa. You will be blessed by the music and ministry of this fantastic event! Defoor Centre January 31, 2010 7:30 p.m. 1710 Defoor Avenue Atlanta, GA 30318 Admission: FREE Make a difference in the world by supporting!

Prayer brings Relief!

As everyone has been watching on the news, Haiti was hit by a devastating earthquake this week. It is the worst earthquake to hit in over 200 years. This really hit home for the Kim Sky Band. Jay, our drummer, whose family is from Haiti lost family members. By the grace of God, he does have family members who survived and we are eternally grateful for this. He is one of many who have been affected by this horrific act of nature.

There are many ways you can help:

By texting "Haiti" to 90999, you can donate $10 to the Red Cross. Funds will go to support American Red Cross relief efforts in Haiti. (You will receive a text to confirm donation before it is applied to your account).

Please stay informed on how you can help by accessing www.redcross.org or www.yele.org

The relief efforts have only begun! I am proud to share that in one day this week, text message donations exceeded $4 Million dollars! That is something we can all be proud of.

You can also stay involved by joining us for our 2nd "Speak to All Nations" (STAN) Concert on January 31st! This event will be amazing and a portion of all proceeds will go towards relief efforts in Haiti!

Random Inspiration moves us to VISION

Inspiration is so key to life! Being inspired is the first step to Vision! Today was certainly a day of inspiration. First I woke up this morning to snow and ice... In Atlanta, EVERYTHING shuts down when this happens! All of my fam from up north was LAUGHING at how we just shut it down, but this was such a time of reflection for me. First the day was BRIGHTER! With the white snow reflecting the sun you could see so many more things you didn't see before. I had a few conversations that S--T--R--E--T--C--H--E--D me! Yet it was a point of inspiration. Sometimes making hard decisions puts you at a place of inspiration. You are inspired to think differently or do things in a way that you may not normally do it! I wanted to share something someone wrote today and then my response to them:
WHAT THEY WROTE
Dreams, dreams and more dreams...ON TOP OF...Prayer, prayer and more prayer....ON TOP OF...Active faith, active faith, and some more active faith...COMBINED WITH...these DARN DREAMS that wont go away...::???!!!2010!!!???
MY RESPONSE
DREAMS: a sneak peak into your future PRAYER: private prayer produces public power ACTIVE FAITH: this is literally the definition of daily life DARN DREAMS THAT WON'T GO AWAY: VISION .....Inspiration+conviction+action+determination = Vision

NOTHING CAN STOP US NOW! We've gone thru enough now that nothing can stop our faith! BE INSPIRED!

Egypt, Thanksgiving, Christmas..... Tis the season to be JOLLY!

Hello Family,

So much has happened since we last spoke so lets get to it!

STAN Concert

The Speak To All Nations concert was a huge success! We were able to raise the awareness needed for Global Outreach and we raised a little money for our Egypt trip. 2010 is going to be an awesome time in this aspect of our vision. I have several things planned and today I will be meeting with a Global partner Allan Wiltshire with Mission Minded Artist to discuss our 2010 calendar. We will have several Benefit concerts next year and I want ALL of you to come out and be apart. Our next concert is Friday, January 29, 2010. It is going to be an awesome time!

EGYPT TRIP

Wow, what can I say! This trip was life changing! The people were so awesome, the country was an unbelievable site to see, words cannot express my heart towards the matter. I learned so much about surrender and how important it is to truly know who YOU are so you can help others. (Stay tuned.... I will dedicate a few posts on Egypt only)

THANKSGIVING

Thanksgiving in my world is always an awesome time! My family is fantastic and we had food, spades and trash talking! I love them so much! I was so THANKFUL the entire time to just have them and most of all enjoy them! You know relationships are the most important things in life! Take the time to tell the people around you that you love them and be thankful for them everyday

CHRISTMAS

Well tomorrow is Christmas. As we celebrate the birth of Jesus be thankful for God sacrificing his very best for us. Wow, when I think of that I am reminded of how selfish I can be at times. Most of the time we save our very best for ourselves. Just think if we shared our best with others how much better the world would be today. I love you all and MERRY CHRISTMAS!
