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 there?
Well, it wasn't Fred but it was his brother and his personal assistant who told me that he would give me one of Fred’s movies that was just released. Isn't God amazing?
We proceeded to the lobby and there I scheduled interviews with Dwayne Woods ( he has 5 Stellar nominations) Pastor Marvin Sapp also stopped by to speak with us and I met
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 know 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 will call it Candid Moments from the Stellar 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 and there will be more to come so get ready to see what FAVA will be doing this weekend. I will try to keep the photos and videos coming. Erica is the Producer of the show and Christie is the Executive Producer and still photographer. I thank God for them.
More later
