Album Review: Y'anna Crowley
The Season Two winner of BET's hit gospel sing-off competition Sunday's Best winner Y'anna Crowley
released her debut album The Promise today, Tuesday August 24th. Beautifully writter and perfectly arranged Y'anna's debut album is sure to be a blessing to music lovers young and old.
Her vocal styling is pure joy. The elegant runs, serious squalls, and her slight vibrato makes me smile from ear to ear.
Pick this album up!! Trust me, you will enjoy it!
My favorites from the release are: "You're still God" "Well done", "Stronger" and "Looking toward heaven"
Be blessed!

Morning Devotion: Damaged Goods
Happy Monday!
I had to share this small portion of my morning devotion, I hope it blesses you as it did me.
"The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise." Psalm 51:17 (NIV)
Don't judge too quickly. My damage has not defined me...but, it is refining me. I may be at the bottom of the life's bin, but Jesus paid as high a price for those of us at the bottom as He did for those that are proudly displayed on the top shelf.

Diabetes: One Year Later
God is so faithful. He works miracles EVERY single day. If you haven't tried him.. trust me.. I'll vouch for his works.
A year ago today, I was sitting at my desk at work, like normal.. only I wasn't feeling so normal.
I was tired... literally exhausted, extremley hungry, half blind, and I had a fasting blood glucose reading of 480, and it was only 9:00. But 3:00 in the afternoon, my blood sugar would be at 570, and I would be rushed to the hospital.
Today was the day, that I found out I was a diabetic. *cue scary music*
A year ago today, I felt like my world was coming unglued. I was unsure, angry, and very scared.
This past year has been a learning experience for me. I've learned that doctor's with all of their degree's dont neccessarily always have your best interest at heart, that a diet is not the end of the world, and most importantly listening to your body and acting before the trouble is the best way to stay OUT of the emergency room.
Today, Diabetes and I are friends. I'm currently off my medication, and I'm able to control my blood glucose with diet and excercise.
I'm a year in, and I feel great. Everyday is work. Somedays I'm great.. I follow my diet plan, and even go walk around my complex. Other days, I'm a heathen. I eat what I want, and could care less about working out. But, everyday, I try. I try by listening to my body, managing my diet, and staying active.

Artist Review
Brian Reeves & Heart after God
I was first introduced to the incredible sound of Brian Reeves & Heart after God a few weeks ago at a clean artist showcase held in the Indianapolis Arts Garden, and I must say.. They gained an INSTANT fan.
The indianapolis gospel music community is a fairly tight knit group of people, and I had heard several ramblings about the group, but I had never had a chance to hear them until then. I'm so glad I got the chance!
Brian's sound is clean and fresh. The group has excellent voice control, and they all are truly worshipers who love sharing their love of Jesus.
Check out Brian & Heart after God's latest release "Awakening" avaialble on iTunes right now!
My favorite tracks on the album are I choose you, Lucky, and You are God.
Get the album, and be BLESSED!

Shot of the Week
It's the W-E-E-K-E-N-D! We made it!
I had the opportunity to take my sisters Senior pictures this week, which was an amazing experience. I am truly amazed how this beautiful, smart talented person- was once a little girl who used to follow me around hanging on my heels. My sister has grown up to be fine a young lady. Time fiies! Enough of my babbling; I feel the tears forming. Check out my shot of the week.
