Da Ambassador Returns!

Well I just finished watching the very intense interview with The Ambassador(Amba), and I must say I was moved. I actually almost shed a few tears.

Many of you may be aware of the “fall” of The ambassador who is a famous rapper, who was signed to the famous Cross Movement. My first reaction to this whole situation was one of shock and disappointment which led to me being embarrassed for him, it has caused me to even delete all his songs and trash his albums.I really admired the character of Ambassador and I was truly moved by his passion and zeal for God and Gospel.

This interview with The Ambassador has opened my eyes, and once again God has pointed the mirror in may face. Now As I am typing this I am forced to examine myself.I didn't look at The Ambassador as a “human” or I have forgotten that he too lives in a world that is fallen and corrupted by sin. Sometimes we forget that celebrities, Ministers etc are humans too and that they are prone to the same ills as we are. So, while I was pointing fingers at him, God was pointing fingers at me. I felt such a strong conviction that I had to stop and examine myself. I am a sinner, I have “fallen”, the only difference is I didn't have to make a public statement and do all the other damage control stuff. But God has held me accountable for all the mess I have done, even the very ‘secret’ things.

So,the interview has sparked some sympathy for Amba as well as it has taught me a big lesson. We are all capable of sin, we all can trip. So what we need to do is hold each other up and stop pulling each other down.I want to apologize to Amba for being judgmental and so unloving,I truly admire your transparency and passion. I know God is not done with you and this is just another process.

If you are not familiar with The Ambassador then you can contact him Here or Here .God Bless!

THE WORLD SHAKEN .

What if God shook our world.
What if the earthquake was not for Haiti alone.
What if our children were the ones,
Roaming the streets alone.
What if we were under the rubble,
Desperate to be seen by the rescue team.
What if it was us in chaos
Searching for our love ones.
What if it was us mourning
Our lost ones.
What if Haiti was America
We would be the one’s crying
For deliverance,
We would be the ones
Grasping for air as buildings crush us.
We would be the ones spilling our tears
After news came that there’s not
Enough rescue team to save us
We would be the ones
Carry the remnants of families
That didn’t live,
Because the earth opened up
And sucked them in.
We would be the ones,
Digging through the debris
Hoping to save your wife
Before her life is seized.
We would be the ones in need,
Of the commodities
That we so often toss around
Like they are not necessities.
We would be the ones naked
Our clothes stripped from our backs
As the earth shook beneath us.
We would be the ones
But we aren’t.
So lets lend a hand to Haiti
Who are people much like us.

FIFTEEN YEARS by Kendra Norman Bellamy

Fifteen years of struggles and pain was scared on the heart of Josiah. He has experienced so much loss and rejection that even after fifteen years he still wrestles with his past.

This novel is remarkable as all books by this author, I truly appreciate her art for creating fictional but realistic characters that anyone can relate to. I love how the writer incorporates a bit of drama and romance in her novel without exhausting the two literary forms, each was moderately used which didn't make the novel overdramatic but it still sparked interest and curiosity that was enough to keep a reader stimulated and engaged. I love authors that put a little twist in events, I can always depend on Bellamy to keep me on the “edge of my seat”,this book was truly worth buying and it’s a great avenue to escape your own world and step into that of another. I was truly encouraged and ministered by the characters’ personal relationship with God, the book was not saturated with scriptures but it was still spirit filled. The references to worship songs by the famous saxophonist Antonio Allen was appropriately inserted in various scenes of the novel that allowed the reader to sympathize with the character Josiah as he tried to find that peace in God.Personally, I love the part where the Bishop was counseling Josiah about his issues, this part truly spoke to my spirit and I found comfort as I even began to think about my own pains and heartaches.

For fifteen years Josiah was tormented by his past, but in a week God undid all that pain and replaced it with love and Joy. Indeed your latter will be greater!!!!.

This is a great book written by an exceptional author, so purchase a copy or borrow it at you local library.
