The SW30: Day 14 ~ Describe the Last Moment You Felt Really, Truly Blissful


Generally speaking, I'd like to think that I am a happy person but I think the last time I felt extremely blissful was during my birthday weekend.

I decided to go to my hometown/city of Philadelphia and spend time with my friends and family.  It just so happened that as my birthday got closer, the pieces simply fell into place.

One of my cousins took time out of her hectic (that's an understatement) schedule to meet me for dinner in one of my favorite parts of the city.  We had a delicious dinner at Landmark Americana in University City.  (I definitely need to get back there!) I truly enjoyed the great food, company and conversation!  To know that she made time for me- before 2 gigs really touched my heart :-).

The next day, I made my way across town where another cousin generously offered to let me and my girlfriends spend the night at his place instead of having to pay for a hotel room. Once my girls arrived, we got ready for the main event-> a concert at World Cafe Live. 

One of my favorite bands, Snarky Puppy was performing.  Before the show started, one of the band members came up to the balcony to talk to my dad. So, I mentioned a couple songs that I would love for them to fit into their set. I really would have been okay if my request wasn't met but when I heard the first few seconds of the 2nd song of the night, my weekend was made! (This is the video I recorded of "my 2013 birthday song.")


I was truly happy that weekend! I felt blessed to be celebrating another birthday in a city that I love... with some of the people that I love!  I really have learned to appreciate the little things in life so that I won't take the bigger things for granted. I'm excited to see what other blissful moments are ahead!

KCC - Vertical Current's Bright Side of Midnight

*I am super late with this post but. . . better late than never ;-)* I really love good food and good music! So I love being able to combine the two- especially if I also have great company! Saturday- August 2nd was no exception!  With the release of their first full-length album, Vertical Current took to the Warmdaddy's stage to celebrate! I was happy to have my girl friend/lil sis there with me! While the members of this exciting band are able to complement one another's strengths, they also bring on guests that seem to add an extra  oomph  to their shows! To start the night off, the audience was introduced to the group-   Ode to Omni !  It was the first time that my friend and I had heard them and we were definitely impressed! Other special guests (who also appear on the album) were Chartel Findlater, Shelia Moser (aka Lee Mo), Rick Tate Jr. and El' Ahmad Barak! Bright Side of Midnight was released on July 29th and it offers 11 tracks of ama...

The Unexpected Temptation

I know. . . It's been time for me to write something new.🙈 However, coming across this video from Jackie Hill Perry to prompted me to actually get this post out. One line pierced my heart. "When you have a gift that involves words, one of the ways the enemy will tempt you is to be silent." Wow!  I hone stly think silence is one of the last things that comes to mind when people think of temptation. According to Oxford Languages, the definition of temptation is  the desire to do something, especially something wrong or unwise. I can hear someone asking, "How can silence be wrong or unwise?"  Oh. . . Hold on for just a minute and it will come together. There are times when our obedience [to speak] may be the key to someone else's blessing . Your words and actions could essentially provide healing for your brother or sister in Christ! In the book of Revelation, we read, "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony.....

He Was Into Me {8.18.14}

He was into me! And I thought he was fine! Tall, dark, and handsome. I smiled at the thought of him being mine. He was into me! He made me laugh and smile. Felt like I'd known him for years but it was only a short while. He was into me! We would talk for hours! I'd try to hang up the phone but it felt as if he was pulling me with superpowers. He was into me(!) but it was clear to see. . . A relationship with him just could not be. You see. . . I was into him! I mean- I was impressed! Still- something about the situation had me feeling distressed. I was into him(!) but I'd soon have to choose. And my relationship with Jesus was way too much to lose! I was into him! Yet God meant more to me. And I knew- from temptation I needed to flee. As much as I was into him. . . I'd made a vow to maintain my standards. I couldn't and won't abandon them now! Whether you're into him. Or he's into you. Here's some ...
