2008 Stellar Awards - All Access well maybe

I didn't plan this but I am coming to you live from Nashville, TN and I wanted so badly for my crew to be here with me. This time last year six of my closest friends were having the time of our lives. In September I made reservations for the rooms and I was planning for the SAME team to be here with me today. That didn't happen.
I did not plan what has happened. Unfortunately, my son had to work, but two of the people who meant alot to me should have been here but they aren't.
I am here in bed reflecting on how life takes people in different directions. I asked God to keep me directed toward his plan for MY life and this is the scripture I thought about.
Jer. 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

Anywhooo... We are here! We are residing at the beautiful Gaylord hotel. It is so bad that you are required to pay for the internet, you receive 2 free bottled water per night and the ambiance is amazing.
I called the President of CCP and she is GIVING me six FREE tickets to the award show. SIX.....hmmmm,,,, but unfortunately there is only 3 of us here.

I told the gang that I wanted to meet with Fred Hammonds before I left this place. I had even bought a pen with Fred's name on it because that's how confident I was that I would meet him. When we completed dinner and walked around the corner who do you think was tere?
Well, it wasn't Fred but it was his brother and his personal assistant who told me that he would give me one of Freds movies that was just released. Isn't od amazing?
We proceeded to the lobby and there I scheduled interviews with Dwaye Woods ( he has 5 nominations) Pastor Marvin Sapp also stopped by to speak with us and I met the most wonderful lasy,
Sherri Shepherd, she host the View ( she took Star Jones place) so she will be on the radio show.

God is so good, although I forgot to cancel the second room that my son and y friend would have been in... I was able to sell the room and well if you knw me you know the rest of this story.
So I will be blogging from the hotel and also uploading live video on You tube. We wll call it Candid Moments from theStellar 2008.

Oh, I met the manager at the local mall. They want to do a gospel show next year in the mall. Of course, yours truly will be the organizer of this event. STL.
Well I am off to the BMI by invite reception luncheon and word on the street is I don't have an invite, so will I get in by just going? Calling all saints, calling all saints. Please pray for me.

I have uploaded some photos but since they post here immediately I decided to start a blog here is the link and more I will post here when I upload more photos so you can see my trip.
and if they don't show here immediately

I wish you were here.
To be continued
