Strength for the Battle
Have you ever been in a situation that you thought was too big for you? Be encouraged. 2 Samuel 22:40 says " You have armed me with strength for the battle. Verse 43 says "I grind them like fine dust into the ground." Here's a couple tips on how to deal with hard situations. 1. Take it one day at a time. God doesn't expect you to deal with tomorrow's worries ..... but instead take the one step approach and achieve a victory over today. 2. Attitude - Truly is everything!
Regardless of your situation approach it with a great attitude. Don't start you day in defeat. Know that if God allowed it - it's because you can handle it. He has given you strength for this very situation. When he planned your life from the beginning to the end - please believe he took out the things you couldn't handle. So if it's here - he's working it out for your good. Your experience. Your growth. 3. Don't run from challenges!
Ever notice that when the bible talks about the whole armour of God ......it never speaks of protection for your back? That's because we're "more than conquerors!" And conquerors don't run! No matter the situation - look it in the face! Remember you can't conquer what you don't confront! What you just read wasn't only for you - it was for me too. I praise God for what he's doing in my life and I'm growing everyday. God is awesome and he's blessing us everyday. Have a great day! D.Stone Cutie of The Year

    'Let's Talk About Pep,' Salt N Pepa Member Drops New Book Upfront, uncensored, and unstoppable, Sandy Denton better known as Pepa of the Iconic Hip Hop group Salt-N-Pepa is set to bare all in a new book hitting stores this month.
Never at a loss for words, Pepa tells her side of the story in her new book "Let's Talk About Pep." Leaving no stone unturned the Hip Hop pioneer talks for the first time about her troubled childhood, surviving abuse, her first encounters with Cheryl "Salt" James, her failed marriages and her escape from domestic abuse, her "breakup" with Salt and their eventual "reunion", her triumphant comeback on the VH1 reality shows The Surreal Life, Fame Games, and The Salt-N-Pepa Show, and more.
Diving into her experience with Salt-N-Pepa, Peps says "The very thing that got me into Salt-N-Pepa -- going with the flow and doing what I was told -- was the same thing that got me in a lot of bad situations. Being a chameleon or just going with whatever wasn't good for me. It allowed me to put up with things I shouldn't have put up with. It allowed me to be with people I should not have been with because I wasn't able to just be myself and say no or walk away. It never let me ask, "What do I want out of life?" It never allowed me to really think about me and my needs first."
Written with New York Times bestselling author Karen Hunter, the book is filled with surprising insights, outrageous anecdotes, and celebrity cameos--including an introduction by Queen Latifah and an epilogue by Missy Elliott. "Let's Talk About Pep" is the story of a pop culture icon whose remarkable life is every bit as captivating and provocative as her Grammy Award-winning music.
In related news, Pepa recently launched the social network and online fan club letstalkaboutpep.com. The site allow hip hop fans to connect with each other and stay up to par with her latest happenings.
"Let's Talk About Pep" is instores now.  Higher Ways Today's Scripture “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts” (Isaiah 55:9). Today's Word from Joel and Victoria Sometimes it’s easy to get focused on what’s happening in the world around us. We see things on the news or hear something about the economy, and we dwell on those thoughts. Before long, those thoughts start to drag us down. But when we choose to think higher thoughts, the way God thinks, and when we choose to meditate on God’s Word, His higher thoughts will draw us to a higher level of living. You can live above the stress and pressure of the world because He has promised to give us perfect peace when we keep our minds focused on Him. You can live above financial worries because God has promised that when we follow His Word, He will supply all our needs according to His riches in glory. You can live above fear and dread because God has promised that His perfect love will drive out all fear. Choose God’s higher thoughts today and allow His ways to become Your ways. Open your heart and allow Him to direct your every step. As you do, you will rise higher and higher, and you’ll live the life of victory He has in store for you. A Prayer for Today Father in heaven, I humbly come to You giving You all that I am. Fill me with Your higher thoughts which will lead me in Your higher ways. Help me to look beyond my circumstances to the good things You have in store for me. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Suge Knight Arrested, Jailed For Assaulting Girlfriend In Las Vegas Suge Knight was arrested in Las Vegas Wednesday morning (August 27), after allegedly beating a woman, news channels are calling his girlfriend.
According to the Associated Press, police responded to a report of a car hitting a curb near the Las Vegas Strip, and upon arrival found Knight standing over his longtime girlfriend with a knife in his hand.
Police say the woman tried to run from the car, but Knight grabbed her.
"This was apparently Marion Knight's girlfriend that was riding with him in his car at the time. She started punching him while in the car (he was the driver and she was the passenger). In an effort to escape she grabbed the steering wheel and steered it to the curb. That's when she got out of the car and tried to run and he caught up to her," said Las Vegas Lt. Chris Carroll told KLAS-TV.
43-year-old Knight was arrested, and charged with a deadly weapon, battery, and domestic violence.
His girlfriend was not identified.
Additionally, Ecstasy and hydrocodone was allegedly in his possession, adding the extra charge of possession of a controlled substance.
At press time, Knight was being held in a Las Vegas jail.

Why Sammie Really Left Dallas Austin's Label, Plus Singer Talks About His New Album
R&B singer Sammie says he chose to leave Dallas Austin’s Rowdy Records due to a lack of attention to his album and related projects.
“Dallas is so gifted in so many other areas aside from music that I felt he didn’t have the time nor the energy to really put into me like I felt I should be, so I parted ways” says Sammie who spoke with Singersroom exclusively about his new album.
Fast at work on his as-yet-untitled third album, Sammie has chosen to go the independent route on this release which is already stacked with producers including Bryan Michael Cox, Adonis, Tha Cornaboyz, and Daron Jones of 112. “We’re still in the works [but] trying to get in with Nitti and trying to get a record from JD (Jermaine Dupri) this time. I haven’t worked with Jermaine since 2001.”
Partnering with industry veteran and manager Malcolm Lee, Sammie says his new imprint Empire Entertainment puts him on track to handle his business on stage as well as behind the scenes. “I definitely wanted to venture out to entrepreneurship and not just be one dimensional as an artist, but one day owning my own company and one day writing music for other artists as well. Having Empire is kind of that home, that source and that foundation for me to produce that.”
Despite calling his relationship with Rowdy Records a wrap, Sammie says he still has respect for Dallas Austin “We don’t speak on the regular, but like I said it’s no bad blood. If I do see him I’m definitely going to speak and be respectful and I believe it’s vice versa as well.”

 Lose Weight Without Counting Calories I've never been a big fan of counting calories. In fact, in the past year, I have lost about 30 pounds without counting a single dietary digit. Sure, I know recording everything you put in your mouth can help peel off pounds, but I also know that obsessing over calories makes you more likely to eat lowfat, low-fiber foods that wouldn't satiate a starling. Instead of crunching numbers, I munched on healthy food to become a weight loss success. If a food lover like me can do it, you can, too! Try these tips:
• Pick up produce. Have at least one fruit and veggie at every meal. On busy days when I know my lunch won't have a smidge of green in it, I have two fruits at breakfast; I toss berries or peaches into my nonfat Greek yogurt and sprinkle it with granola. I love asparagus, green pepper, sun-dried tomatoes, sprouts, endive and more. Fruits and veggies are high in fiber, which staves off hunger. Shoot for nine servings daily. It sounds like a lot, but if you don't have to be a rabbit to reach that goal. Eat a salad at lunch or dinner, and you're there.
• Snack smart. Add protein (such as a stick of lowfat string cheese or Parmesan) to your between-meal bites. Research suggests protein may enhance the effect of leptin, a hormone that reins in appetite. I love hummus and dip veggies into it instead of pita bread or crackers. Protein is also filling and can help curb cravings for chips, cookies and the like.
• Sip more water. Dieters who swapped sugary drinks for water lose weight, but those who gulped the most H20 peeled off the most pounds, according to a study at the meeting of Obesity Society in Boston. Don’t love agua? Try the flavored kind but check the label for sugar content (it should be below 8 grams per serving).
• Map out your meals. A little attention to portions can help you eat less and still stay satisfied. Start by using a salad dish (8 inches in diameter) and divide it into quarters to help keep helpings healthy. Half the plate should get veggies, top another quarter with lean protein (3 to 6 ounces of fish, chicken or tofu) and the last quarter with whole grains (1/2 to 1 cup of brown rice, sweet potatoes or whole wheat pasta).
• Eat every meal. When you wait longer than five hours between bites, your body may release extra cortisol, a hormone that can increase appetite. I call it "hangry." I get hungry and angry: My stomach starts to burn and my brain gets annoyed at every little thing. Then I eat whatever is in front of me, usually a cookie or other sweet, empty-calorie treat. I realize I'm putting out the "hangry" fires, but it is better not to get there in the first place!
 Blessings Are Coming Your Way Today's Scripture “May the Lord, the God of your fathers, increase you a thousand times and bless you as he has promised” (Deuteronomy 1:11 NIV). Today's Word from Joel and Victoria God wants to release favor and blessing in your life. He longs to be good to you. He has blessings in store for you simply because someone in your family line honored Him. It may have been a parent or grandparent, or maybe someone back in your history that you don’t even know; but because they lived a life of faith, now you are going to reap the rewards. It may have been a hundred years ago, but God wants to increase you a thousand times over your ancestors. These are ancestral blessings. When you have those moments when you feel like you’ve received “favor out of nowhere” that’s the time to thank God for His grace and mercy. Thank Him for His promise to pass down blessings from generation to generation.
Remember, we serve a gracious and mighty God. His favor lasts a lifetime! Open your heart and begin to expect Him to move in your life. Look for His blessings and praise Him for taking you into the abundant life He has prepared for you!
A Prayer for Today Father in heaven, thank You for Your faithfulness in my life. I give You honor and glory today for all You have done for me and for the good plans You have prepared for my future. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

 @ The Loft Tonight! Pray God’s Promises Today's Scripture “This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us” (I John 5:14 NIV). Today's Word from Joel and Victoria Are you believing for God to do something specific in your life today? Do you need a miracle in your health, finances, or relationships? When you pray God’s promises found in His Word, you can be confident that He hears your prayers. The scripture tells us that there is power when two are in agreement, and no matter what you may be facing, you and God are a majority. Find the specific scriptures that address what you are believing for and write them on note cards. Study those scriptures and make those promises your prayers. If you need healing, you can pray, “Father, You said in Isaiah 53 that by Your stripes I am healed.” If you need provision for something, you can pray, “Father, thank You for Your promise to provide all my needs according to Your riches in glory.” Whatever you may need today, the most powerful thing you can do is to pray and declare God’s promises. As you do, you will see Him move on your behalf, and you’ll live the life of victory He has in store for you. A Prayer for Today Father in heaven, thank You for Your promises. I know You are faithful to Your Word, and I choose to come into agreement with Your promises. Fill me with Your confidence as I declare Your Word. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

New Jodeci Album Is Done, Plus K-Ci Responds To Australian Concert Debacle Jodeci’s K-Ci says JoJo passed out due to a documented medical condition over the weekend, dismissing reports that the singer had passed out due to drug use.
According to an exclusive interview with Hot 97's Cipha Sounds & Rosenberg on Monday, K-Ci repeatedly refuted claims that his brother passed out after smoking cocaine. Calling the rumors false and dropping the F*** bomb on Bill Gates for creating the internet, K-Ci says his brother suffers from epilepsy and has seizures which caused him to pass out on stage Saturday night.
In an attempt to explain why the security guard who was shown in the video picking up Jojo’s mic and walking past him while K-Ci himself continued to sing, the singer said “During “Crazy”(the hit single), Jojo normally acts crazy and lays down on the stage and I’m used to that, but that night it wasn’t crazy. When I looked at him my brother, he not crazy now, he’s for real now and I got scared.”
Although no explanation was provided for Devante Swing’s no-show at the well attended show in Sydney, Australia, K-Ci says the much-talked-about Jodeci reunion album is done. “We just finished it, we did like thirty songs and we’re trying to pick which ones we’re going to put on the album.”
