Last week, as you may have read in a previous blog, i had the chance to go and audition for the producers of America’s Got Talent. It was an experience I will never forget. There were so many people there… at least two or three thousand and that was just the first day of auditions. I saw a couple of Michael Jackson’s, a Bobby Brown, and an Elvis Presley. Also, not including all the different animals. However, long story short…. I didn’t get to advance to the next round but that’s okay the experience and free trip, lol, was well worth it.
During this process, I received so much support from family & friends. What a way to feel loved!! My appreciation and gratitude goes to everyone who believed in me and especially my husband who stood by my side during this whole process 
I thank God for every one of them and for allowing them to be great pillars in my life.
Needless to say, our trip in Houston was so much fun. We got to visit the town of Kemah north of Houston and it has the most beautiful boardwalk. It was filled with candy shops, great restaurants, aquarium, rides, roller-coasters, music and more. My beautiful auntie was such a wonderful host and we had a great time the whole weekend!!
To cap the weekend off… we had the opporutunity to go to my aunts church and receive a good word from guest Bishop Tudor Bismark. What a TREAT!!!! God is so good in everything that he does big or small. Listening to the bishop, he confirmed how God’s blessings cancels every curse in our lives. It doesn’t matter how far back through the generations it goes. God will always be God!!!

As the days lead up to my audition for America’s Got Talent so do the nerves. I can’t help but think of what song I get to sing for 90 seconds. How long is 90 seconds exactly? In reality that’s only a minute and a half, but in a singer’s world that’s maybe the intro verse and pre-chorus. How can I woo the judges in just a minute and a half… 90 seconds? Thinking about all this and what could possibly be a major change in my life has built up uncertainty, fear, doubt, and just plain chickness. Then I thought, wait a minute what goes first? When do you realize that your deepest dreams you have placed aside could possibly start to become a reality?
This is where I am. I received a call today from a rep of the AGT and he asked me so many questions I wasn’t ready to respond to. Later when I hung up the phone I thought…. ugh, I should of said this, that, over here, over there, I remember when, and oh blah blah blah. I talked with my hubby about possibilities. Like the wonderful husband that he is, he reassured me that taking this step of faith was more than just a dream… it was destiny. I was created to sing and be at this appointed time for such a time as this.
I started to realize that so many times I had placed my dreams aside for things I thought needed more of my attention. Not realizing that I had left what I wanted behind. Everything is beautiful in its time. My love for God goes first, my dreams, my husband, and then ministry. Everything else will follow. Knowing my priorities has reassured me that uncertainty, fear, doubt and chickness are part of the growth. Howelse are you going to trust GOD? You can’t always know everything. It takes the fun out of HIS PLAN!!
Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
On a side note: My audition is on Saturday, May 9th. Keep me in your prayers:)

About 2 weeks ago, my brother Eli and I were instant messaging. Being a wonderful brother, he sent me a link to enter into a contest that was being hosted by a local news center. My first reaction was NO!! and if you know my brother he’ll keep haunting you down until you say yes. So there we were having an im war until finally I gave in and filled out the online form. Thinking that I would just fill it out and not do anything… about 2 hours after I received a phone call from the station. Coincidentally, my wonderful husband and brother were there at the time of the call AND low and behold the news rep was confirming my audition and giving me all these details for the contest.
Almost immediatly, like a ton of bricks, butterflies fluttered in my stomach. What am I doing? I don’t do this, I thought. Picking the song was easy however singing in front of a few people seemed really hard to conquer. Here’s the deal, I can sing in front of hundreds of people but performing in front of ten seems impossible. I know… so weird.
This past weekend, I finally went to my audition. I had the privilege of competing with talented men and women from all over the region. My song was Come Rain or Come Shine. I walked out on stage thinking I got this. When all of sudden my song begins to skip in the intro. First impulse was to keep my composure and be professional. As though I wasn’t nervous enough… technical difficulties was not helping.
Needless to say, I won 1st place!! An all expense paid trip to Houston to perform before the producers of America’s Got Talent!! How this came to be… only my Lord and Savior knows. Now I face having to find a new song and a batch of new butterflies. Keep me in your prayers as I take this unknown journey to hopefully what will be another great adventure in my life. One more thing, I thank my wonderful Father in heaven, my beloved husband Abram and my family for all their support:) Thank you!!
