This song describes a girl who is backslidden...she remembers the sweetness of Jesus but feels like he wouldn't want her again...
We all know that isn't true. He is married to the backslider! PRAISE GOD for his mercy and faithfulness.
Notice how HE goes after HER!
Backslidden Romance
She sits at the ball…and longs for romance…
Oh how she wishes that he would ask her to dance..
She remembers the song that is playing overhead..
It wasn’t that long ago that she sat down instead…of
Dancing with Jesus, feeling his nearness…
Moving in oneness, lifting her feet…
Twirling and laughing…this is real dancing..
If only she could dance again.
She thought long and hard…”I don’t remember the steps,
What if I tripped and messed everything up again?”
She watches the couples as they fill up the floor..
She is searching for comfort…but there is no more…
Dancing with Jesus, feeling his nearness…
Moving in oneness, lifting her feet…
Twirling and laughing…this is real dancing..
If only she could dance again.
She watches him as he looks at her now..
Her heart starts beating faster as she remembers the feeling..
He moves in closer and she can feel his breath..
“Dance with me Darling” and he pulls her to his chest…and she is…
Dancing with Jesus, feeling his nearness…
Moving in oneness, lifting her feet…
Twirling and laughing…this is real dancing..
If only she could dance again.

Love unraveling
Love unraveling
Wound so tightly…love always choked me.
I thought I was free…but I was captivated by negativity.
Dancing to the beat of my own drum...what I thought was love,
Wasn’t the same… as the love I felt after the pain.
Chorus
And now…love is unraveling…
the truth is showing me that I never knew love,
as it was intended to be.
Broken desires…fueled by dark fire,
I thought the love I had was pure…but it was no more,
Than my own ambitions…crazy superstitions.
How could it be that I never knew…the love that is true?
Chorus
And now…love is unraveling…
the truth is showing me that I never knew love,
as it was intended to be.
Bridge
Love is unraveling…
Love is unraveling…
It’s all powerful…it’s all knowing…it’s everywhere…
Love is unraveling...me
Wound so tightly…love always choked me.
I thought I was free…but I was captivated by negativity.
Dancing to the beat of my own drum...what I thought was love,
Wasn’t the same… as the love I felt after the pain.
Chorus
And now…love is unraveling…
the truth is showing me that I never knew love,
as it was intended to be.
Broken desires…fueled by dark fire,
I thought the love I had was pure…but it was no more,
Than my own ambitions…crazy superstitions.
How could it be that I never knew…the love that is true?
Chorus
And now…love is unraveling…
the truth is showing me that I never knew love,
as it was intended to be.
Bridge
Love is unraveling…
Love is unraveling…
It’s all powerful…it’s all knowing…it’s everywhere…
Love is unraveling...me

Homesick
My Grandfather, who raised me with my Grandmother from practically birth, passed away in Nov. 2007.
If there is one person that I wish that I could see again, it is him. I miss him more than any words could ever express. I used to talk to him all the time about everything...he was a great listener and always had wisdom to give.
Grandpa had the biggest heart of anyone that I knew. He was a true giver..always looking out for others and giving above and beyond to even strangers.
He donated a lot of money to Boys Town. I remember him writing out his bills (he would have either my Grandmother, when she was alive, or my Aunt do it for him, since his eyes weren't that great later on in life)..but he would always make sure that they wrote a check for Boys Town.
Since I can remember, I was always very close to my Grandfather. We shared a special bond that others said was unique. I praise God for that...and for him.
I lived with Gramps right up until he passed away...and even helped take care of him in his last months. They were the HARDEST months of my life. I knew that he was slipping away..but didn't want to let him go.
I often think about our memories together and I still cry over the loss of him...I also smile though, knowing that he is with the Lord now.
I am so blessed to have had him raise me...I wouldn't have had it any other way.
I was just listening to this song and the words...soo true...as I think of how HOMESICK I really am...I miss my old bedroom, my old kitchen....just the comfort of HOME...the comfort of having Grandpa there with me all of the time...I would give anything to have one of those days back. How quickly it can all change.
HOMESICK by MERCYME
You're in a better place, I've heard a thousand times
And at least a thousand times I've rejoiced for you
But the reason why I'm broken, the reason why I cry
Is how long must I wait to be with you
I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now
Help me Lord cause I don't understand your ways
The reason why I wonder if I'll ever know
But, even if you showed me, the hurt would be the same
Cause I'm still here so far away from home
I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now
In Christ, there are no goodbye
And in Christ, there is no end
So I'll hold onto Jesus with all that I have
To see you again
To see you again
And I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now

Once Upon A Time...
As women, we are almost born into a princess fairytale. By the time we are 5, we have already most likely seen Cinderella and every other magical children’s romance, played dress up and paraded around in another women’s clothing.
And even if you didn’t do these things, I am sure at some point in your life, you longed for a deeper meaning or your own “romance” of some kind. Well, God intended for us to live like this. We are ROYALTY. It is something that he has been recently speaking loud and clear to me. We are HIS princess and bride…
I pray that you enjoy this song.
The girl is searching for true love and doesn’t feel worthy of it at all. She doesn’t understand how God can say one thing, yet she feels another. She has no relationship with Christ. God is speaking back to her in the chorus and bridge. As I wrote this, I could hear it played as a country song. Picture the chorus being sung by Tim McGraw if you know him.
Once Upon A Time…
Verse 1
You tell me that I am a princess,
But why do I look all a mess?
Aren’t princesses beautiful? Wonderful?
If I am royalty and chosen by you,
Then why do I feel so rejected and used?
Aren’t princesses respected? Desired?
Chorus:
Oh, Cinderella may have had a castle,
And snow white may have found her prince…
But honey they didn’t have what you’re after…
And that is found only in this…
Once upon a time I sent him,
Oh but he was crucified…
He rose again and you’re the one he’s after…
Darling, won’t you let me be your guide?
Verse 2
If I have a destiny that is worth more than what I see,
How come I can’t seem to find what I need?
Aren’t princesses lavished? Blessed?
You say that you even know the hairs on my head,
But why don’t I feel you near me by the days end?
Aren’t princesses protected? Loved?
Chorus
Bridge:
I give you all that you could ask for…
Even more than you can think of..
If you would only look to Jesus…
He is the one you have been dreaming of..
Last Chorus
If you only knew what my kingdom was like,
Full of wonder and amazing things…
All of life’s blessings could offer…
And more than you could dream of..
Let me be your prince you’re seeking..
Let me sweep you off your feet..
Live with me and I promise you will see…
That I can give you all of eternity.
Happily ever after…love me.

I'm speaking at a luncheon!! WOW..Glory to God
Greetings my fellow beautiful women of God!! : )
I sent an email out a few months ago..an invitation for you…to attend a women’s luncheon on Saturday, March 21st at Family Worship Center.
I belong to “Victory Christian Church”, however, my Aunt Diane has asked me to be a guest speaker at her 2nd Annual Women’s luncheon, to be held at her and her husband’s church, “Family Worship Center.” What an honor!!
I am extremely humbled and blessed to be asked to share with everyone, especially considering I know this is part of my calling. I’ve been teaching the word of God to children for over two years now and also have had many opportunities to share God’s heart with teens in the inner city. Praise God!! Now I will be sharing with women from all different walks of life. I am praying and believing that God will bring forth the women who should be there. I will pray at the end and please agree with me.
I am asking from my heart and it is vitally important that you lift me up in prayer for this time of giving Glory to the Father. There will also be another speaker that day, Caroline Turner. Please lift her up as well.
I met with Aunt Diane earlier this week and we prayed for God’s hand to direct this event. It was a very anointed prayer and I am believing that God is going to honor our requests and meet his daughter’s in an intimate way that day.
I really hope and pray that you will ALL come out and feel the Father’s love for you…and invite someone!
Please stand in agreement with me in prayer:
Father God, I ask in the name of your son Jesus, that you draw the women to this meeting that you are looking to speak to. I pray Lord that you use Caroline and myself as a vessel to reach your daughter’s hearts that day. We are ROYALTY…we are co-heirs with Christ..seated in heavenly places…oh how you love us, God. We praise you and thank you for all that you have done and all that you are doing in our lives. Praise you for what you will do at this meeting on March 21st, 2009. You are faithful and we rejoice in you alone! I ask that you cover us and protect us all. Let your will be done on Earth as it is in heaven. Thank you Lord, amen.
Please RSVP and let me know one way or another if you can make it. I will need a head count ASAP. Please let me know by Monday, March 9th.

Praying the Word of God
Have you ever had a revelation of something that you always knew, yet it was as if a veil was over your eyes and you couldn’t see the truth in the whole thing? Then the veil was torn by someone speaking truth into you and you couldn’t help but sit there in awe…
Well, I had one of them this week. Someone said to me, “It is very important to speak the word of God over your life.” I was sitting there listening as I thought, “yes it is and I always do.” Then it was like the veil was torn from my eyes and I had a witness in my spirit that rose up and showed me that I don’t always pray scriptures over my life.
We are to pray the very WORD of GOD over our lives. According to Hebrews, the word is SHARPER than any double edged sword. It pierces, divides, knows the thoughts and intents of the heart…it is powerful!!
Sure, our simple prayers from our hearts are heard by God and answered according to his will….”God heal him/her…touch him/her..strengthen him/her.. etc” BUT how much more powerful is “By your stripes, we were healed!” Or “Your kingdom come, your will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.”
Quote the word of God over your life today…open up the bible and declare his promises over your life by using the actual words that were written years ago…for your freedom, your peace, your joy, your healing…
God bless you richly today and always~

I wrote this song sometime last Summer of 08'. I remember how hurt I was inside as I typed it, but I knew that God would get me through it all and he has. Thank you Lord.
This song is about a guy that I thought I would spend my life with. I now know that it wasn't God's will and I am grateful that I am over him. ONLY with God's grace and healing can I tell you this.
Time for Letting Go
Verse 1
It’s been so long since I’ve had these feelings inside…
I can’t tell you how many nights I’ve cried..
Just wishing you would come hold me…
It’s all I wanted was for you to love me…
So many memories of your smiling face…
Days spent with you, an echoing trace..
Of wanting so much more than what we had…
Oh, how I would have been so glad…
Chorus
But it’s time for those feelings to be let go
Its time for the void in my heart to be whole
Cause he is the only one to fill it…
He is the one who knows my heart and can set me free…
Verse 2
Driving round in your car every night…
Hoping you would shed some light…
On the ever present longing to be with you…
Oh, how I wanted for the dreams to come true…
Staying out and talking together…
The smile In your eyes, I can clearly remember..
But you didn’t want to be more than friends…
I wish this didn’t have to end..
Chorus
Bridge: (powerful, louder)
When there is a place in your heart,
That is longing for love…
Just close your eyes and keep your faith…
Because Jesus is all you need…yes, Jesus is all you need…
Verse 3
Hearing all of your desires for your life,
Just wanting to be by your side…
To be a part of your destiny…
Honey, how I wish you could have seen…
And Now I’m here holding out my hand,
Praying God would help me to stand..
Against the disappointment and the pain…
God help me to see the sun in the rain…
Last Chorus
But it’s time for those feelings to be let go
Its time for the void in my heart to be whole
Cause JESUS is the one to fill it…
Jesus is the one who knows my heart and can set me free…

Movin'!!!
This is the song that God put on my heart to choreograph.
Praise God! One of my biggest passions is dancing...specifically Hip Hop Dance...and now I am using one of my talents for HIS GLORY! What better way to dance than have it be a ministry!!!! WOW...
I am now teaching Christian Hip Hop Dance to teen girls at a community center!! I am not getting paid with money, but the spiritual blessings are being poured out. : )
