Movin On Up!

God is so good! Man, I’m in awe right now. So I woke up this morning and did my usually, you know, laid in bed for an extra 15 minutes, used the bathroom, and read my emails via the blackberry. Well, the first email in my inbox was from a fellow makeup artist acquaintance. Apparently every year she gets a team together to do the makeup for the Miss Black America pageant. This year, she also asked me to participate. Squeeeeeeeeeeee! I’m so excited. So the shoot is on Sunday and it’s probono. Instinctively, because I still doubt my skills at times…ok, a lot of time!… I tried to do everything I could to get out of it mentally. I said oh it’s on a Sunday, I can’t go because I have work. I can’t go because I need to restock my makeup cake. I can’t go because because because. All of my concerns were squashed. She sent an email saying she was providing the makeup kits so all we have to bring are our brushes AND we are only doing makeup for 2 hours (8-10) meaning I’ll be done just in time to go to church (which starts at 11). I am scared crazy, but I can’t say no. I really feel like God is listening to me and honoring the things I said I wanted to accomplish this year with my makeup. I have to press forward through the fear. I know that he has my back, so I gotta just keep on pushing. Pray for my confidence please!

Oh, before I go, did anyone see the blue eyed guy on American Idol that is a cancer survivor? Good Gawd that man was fione! Geesh. Lawd, it took everything in me not to giggle in front of J lol. S W O O N! Even Victoria Beckham was smitten. He was beautiful! Whew. Ok, lust party over lol.

God Speed,
