Mocha Match

Man I have been busy but I need to tell you about my evening on Valentines night.  On Tuesday evening, I went to Mocha Match for a show called Street Blessings.  Let me tell you, I had an awesome time.  This is a Blessed endeavor.  They had the Gospel hip-hop artist called Double and Platinum Souls not only sponsored it but performed.  Check them out http://www.platinumsoulsinc.com/index2.html (they have snippets of their music playing on the site)  Their music is Gospel Hip-hop as well and  they are AWESOME....ok so why am I so excited?  I am a spoken word artist.  I write for therapy.  I write for expression and some of the things I write, while they flow O so well, they are very personal.  Personal testimonies, reflections, hopes and dreams.  I have finally figured out what I am supposed to do with my gift.  I have an audition today with Platinum Souls and I know that if this is where I am supposed to be God will work it out!  I have been praying for a way to combine my love of the Arts and my love for the Lord and I believe that everything in His time not mine.  I have always had talent but I was not ready for the purpose God had for me so there were times I would have writer's block and/or stage fright. Now I am confident in me and the direction I am headed to discovery my purpose I know that destiny is a journey not a destination.  I am prepared to go on this journey because I know that this was a Holy Ghost setup. 

Lemme explain why I say this.  I had every intention of not doing ANYTHING on valentines day.  Remember I am single now so that was my thing....I was not gonna do NADA.  Fast forward to Sunday at church.  I have a friend that I have known since 99 that goes to my church.  We used to work together and occasionally did lunch.  We will call her Prophetess, because she is a Blessed woman of God.  Understand that when I met her, I was not saved (she was and has been since 1989 )so I wasn't trying to hear about God back then.  So Prophetess came up to me and said "Did you get my email? I want you to go to a show with me on Tuesday.  There's going to be music and spoken word."  Well as an artist, I love to see other artists perform so I was like cool.  We discussed times, who would drive etc.   Mind you, she and I have never hung out outside of work in the seven years I have known her.   Seven is the number of Spiritual Perfection so it is not a coincidence that it took seven years.  I am not what I want to be but I am no where near what I used to be...God has been doing some renovations.  On Tuesday, I picked Prophetess up and on the way to the event, she told me God  told her to ask me to go with her to this event because He has something for me.  That it is time.  This is all she told me about it.  She did not know Platinum Souls or any of the artists performing so this could only be set up by God.  Turns out one of the artists performing was an artist I sang with 2 years ago at a gospel show.  So I was able to get an intro and found out they need more artists cause they are looking to turn this into a TV show.

Anyway, I had to get my mind right and my heart right so that my art, my work, my purpose would be God centered and not me centered.  God was preparing me and I thank him for it.  Look for me to come to a stage near you.  My Stage name has always been GIPSEE and when I first chose it, it was to place emphasis on the fact  that I travel alot, but that gypsy is spelled g-y-p-s-y and God told me to spell it  G-I-P-S-E-E , capitalizing each letter and that it means:

Gods

Inspired

Poetic

Scribes

Enlighten

Everyone

I get it now.  It's not about me!
