Le'Andria Johnson on the "Yet Praise"

2011-10-06T08:11:00.000-07:00

Life is full of unexpected twists, turns, roadblocks and detours. When things don’t go the way we expect them to go, we have two choices. We can accept our current circumstances as our lot in life, or we can hold on, believe that things will get better, and give God what I like to call a “yet praise.”

What’s that? You’ve lost your job and don’t know how you’re going to handle your living expenses -- yet. You’re getting close to forty and you want a husband and family, but you’re not in a relationship -- yet. You have dreams about opening your own business or going back to school, but family responsibilities won’t allow you to pursue those dreams -- yet.

During my toughest times I thank God for what he is about to do for me. It’s important to believe that things will get better because if you don’t, you may miss some wonderful opportunities or make some bad choices. Many of you know that I auditioned for "Sunday's Best" only a few days after I had lost my house in Florida to foreclosure. I have three children, and that was a devastating loss.

When my friends and family encouraged me to drive to New Orleans to audition for the show, I could have decided that things were too bad in my life to focus on something else. I had always dreamed of being able to minister to people around the world through song. So despite my loss, I gave God a “yet praise” and got on the road.

Being on that show was a life-changing experience, and now I am with Music World Gospel and I have a new CD that I believe will bless people around the world! Imagine the blessing I would have missed -- not to mention the opportunity I now have to bless others -- if I didn’t trust and believe during that terrible time that there was something better ahead for me.

That’s one of my examples. What’s yours? Are you settling for a relationship that you know in your heart isn’t right for you because you’re afraid there’s nothing better out there for you? Walk away from that relationship and try some “yet praise.” Are you in a job that makes you miserable because you’re afraid you can’t make it in the field you really want to be in or as an entrepreneur? Investigate the possibilities, attend a seminar or audition, or start your business part time. Believe in a brighter future and try some “yet praise.”

What if you’ve done some things in your past that you wish you hadn’t done. Are you now so afraid that those mistakes will keep you from the future you want that you just keep making the same mistakes over and over again? Believe that even now you are being transformed and that many blessings are ahead of you. Try some “yet praise” and break that destructive cycle. None of this is easy, but with God all things are possible. Try some “yet praise” and you will surely begin to live your best life!

Le'Andria Johnson, 2010 Winner of BET's Sunday Best, recently released her debut album entitled "The Awakening of Le'Andria Johnson". On one episode of Sunday Best, Le'Andria showed us what a " Yet Praise" is all about after singing a powerful rendition of I'll Hasten to His Throne. Even hosts Yolanda Adams and Pastor Donnie McClurcklin joined in on the "But Yet" praise party:

Nia Long bares her soul on the inside, and her belly on the outside of the November Issue of Ebony magazine. She looks absolutely amazing, basking in a maternal glow with a hint of fierce in her eyes! She kind of makes me miss being pregnant.....or maybe not! But it's definitely a good look for her.

NEW MUSIC: DMV's Reesa Renee

2011-10-05T07:31:00.000-07:00

Reesa Renee is an artist, musician, songwriter, and lyrical poet from the DC Metropolitan Area. Her voice skims through the soulful sounds of the jazz era and then fast-forwards your musical clocks to the more modern sounds of the R&B greats of today. Add that to an energetic ensemble of musical harmonies and undertones and you get an amazing experience.

Reesa Renee made her musical debut as “Sis” with the underground band Achosen Generation. Now she is launching her solo career working with various artists and producers on an album entitled “Reelease”. She recently released a video for her track "Wonderland Cool". Wonderland Cool is a fun, upbeat hip-hop track that tells the story of Reesa’s self-discovery of style and fashion. Check it out:

"I pursued a music career because there are just somethings in life that you just know your supposed to be doing, and when that feeling and the purpose is so deeply rooted inside, also doubled by people supporting you and then opportunities presenting themselves it's just something that you can't ignore. So I guess in a sense I can almost say the music career pursued me." --Reesa Reene

Today I'm sending positive energy and well wishes to Reesa Reene today as she travels to New York City to perform at the historic Amateur Night at The Apollo. It is soooooooo important for us to support each other, in my opinion, the come up is a movement and I am definitely a part of the movement! Find out more about Miss Reesa Reene in her bio video:

"Music is a feeling, music is a mindset, music is life" --Reesa Reene

{RECAP} #TrendingWithEZ He's Just Not That Into You

2011-10-03T10:28:00.000-07:00

Yesterday on another AMAZING broadcast of #TrendingWithEZ (the one of a kind young, hip, talk radio show) we discussed dating and relationships from a males point of view. The show was losely based on the book and movie "He's Just Not That Into You". The all male panel shed light on the things men do to show us that they aren't into us. For example, if he only communicates with you via email or text, if he always leaves the room to talk when he receives a call on his cell phone, if you have never met his friends of family, chances are, HE JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU!

A few good men from our #TrendingWithEZ Facebook Page chimed in and noted that on the flip side, the following actions are all signs of a guy who IS into you:

- Black Theology Sacrafice.

- Jermaine Kee Calls.....brings you around......wants to know what you like........ultimately he will marry you!
  20 hours ago via mobile · · 1 person
- Black Theology He wants to know about you -- what makes you happy, he listens, pay attention to details
  20 hours ago · · 1 person
- Black Theology He motivates you, encourages you. Uplifts you spiritually

- Jermaine Kee For no reason sends flowers, candy, love notes. Will pray for you, wait for you, and work hard for you!
