“I’m strumming my own freedom, playing the God in me, representing His glory, hope He’s proud of me.” – Jill Scott, Golden
This has always been my favorite part of Jill Scott’s song, Golden because it reminds us that God is within all of us and whatever song of strength, love and freedom we have is unique to our own lives, hearts and circumstances. Whatever your song, play it loud and with pride and REPRESENT!
Today I felt the need to post 2 entries.
Be inspired. Be blessed. SHINE YOUR LIGHT ON THE WORLD! Enjoy and remember: No life’s worth more than any other, No sister worth less than any brother….so SHINE ON and Let your heart be boundless, Like your faith in The One….! (video below)
“Shine on All my people who’ve been broken-hearted Shine on From the place where all life had been started When you need fresh air Go beyond horizons To your place in the sun Shine on Let your heart be boundless Like your faith in The One.
It’s crazy, crazy, crazy Don’t tell me that you don’t care It’s crazy, crazy, crazy No stopping to this warfare It’s crazy, crazy, crazy We’re breathing in the same air It’s crazy, crazy, crazy Don’t tell me that you don’t care You don’t care No stopping to this warfare And you don’t care No
Sing on From the language of your ancestors and Sing on Be playful in your innocence and Lift your head up high And rejoice for all you see Without your eyes Sing on Like a bird that’s making love in sunset skies
It’s crazy, crazy, crazy Don’t tell me that you don’t care It’s crazy, crazy, crazy No stopping to this warfare It’s crazy, crazy, crazy We’re breathing in the same air It’s crazy, crazy, crazy Don’t tell me that you don’t care
No life’s worth more than any other No sister worth less than any brother No life’s worth more than any other No sister worth less than any brother No life’s worth more than any other No sister worth less than any brother No life’s worth more than any other No sister worth less than any brother
It’s crazy, crazy, crazy Don’t tell me that you don’t care It’s crazy, crazy, crazy No stopping to this warfare It’s crazy, crazy, crazy We’re breathing in the same air It’s crazy, crazy, crazy Don’t tell me that you don’t care You don’t care No stopping to this warfare You don’t care

“Intricately woven, a blanket of stars covers the night sky, each star set in its place, reflecting its perfect light. All the stars together make a grand display, glimmering and shimmering in a unique expression of praise to the Creator of them all.” – Wendy Moore
Great day, people! Today’s Soul Food reminds us that, as individuals we can be perfect reflections of our true purpose and shine..and when we come together and work together, each using our own gifts and natural talents, we create an intricate display of power..and shining as your Creator intended is the ultimate form of praise redirected, as a thank you, to the universal force that is responsible for all good things. Just remember the powerful wisdom in that old song that we all know, “this little light of mine, I’m gonna let it SHINE..”
