Fairgodwin:
the message cannot be conveyed [to her] personally again except it is made public? Celebrities sha!

yeah, I guess its a way if telling the whole world that they care about one another. but its really a great thing she wrote to her.

popular gospel singer Jamie Grace has written a letter to Taylor Swift to keep her strong at this time of her moms illness.... it reads

It’s the face we choose to make when we get to an
autograph line. Little girls are lined up with posters
and guitars with our names on them, anxious to tell
us about their upcoming talent show. We’re walking
with our security and our team hurting and broken
about the pain inside but the second we turn that
corner, we have to put our lives on hold for the sake
of the lives in the crowd. We’re not being fake… not
lying about what’s going on… merely doing what we
have to do to be who we’re called to be.
Like you, I “came out of nowhere” (in the music
industry) as many blogs and reviewers have said.
Though I’ve been singing my whole life and playing
(semi… haha) payed gigs since high school, I didn’t
get a record deal until I was around 18. I was signed
to (a label I love called) Gotee Records under
TobyMac and my first single was nominated for a
Grammy and Billboard award. At Christian Music’s
biggest award show, The Dove Awards, I took home
the award for New Artist of the Year and was
nominated for a few others. I don’t tell you this to
pop my collar but incase you don’t know who I am,
I figured that information may provide context
I am now 23 and during my journey as an artist I’ve
played morning shows, sold out arenas, churches…
alongside some of my favorite artists and having
the chance to headline as well. Random fact – Banjo
Ben who toured with you? I met him at your show
with Rascal Flatts over 5 years ago and he played
on my new record. Thanks for the indirect intro
Also during my journey, my mom got sick.
I want to clarify first of all that my mom’s condition
is not fatal and does not face a large amount of
similarities to cancer. I never want to come across
as comparing my struggles to anyone else’s nor
imply that I understand something that I do not.
Even so, my mom got sick. And still is.
My CD release was the day of her surgery that we
waited for months to schedule. I’ve had nights on
stage while she was at the ER and we didn’t have
answers. Sweet friends and fans have asked,
“how’s your mom?” when I truly don’t know how to
respond. It’s not been an easy road.
She has a rare, incurable nerve condition that has
affected her life in more ways than I can imagine.
She is blessed to still work as mine and my sister’s
managers and serve in ministry alongside my father
but faces many physical challenges.
I have spent many nights crying, screaming,
praying and begging God to “fix it”… Many of these
nights are spent at home but many of them on tour.
In a bunk on a tour bus. In the bathroom of a shared
dressing room. At front of house when everyone
thinks I’m merely checking for a good mix. Minutes
before, after and sometimes during a game face…
I’m fighting the battles of a pain too great to
comprehend.
Taylor, I’ve not yet met you.
I’ve seen you live in concert once but we don’t run
in the same circles or have many mutual friends…
“22” was my ringer for all of last year (obviously…)
but I honestly don’t know your birthday or have
your poster on my wall. (I do have Reba’s up
though… classy lady, yeah?) Occasionally I’ve used
your songs, and other love songs, in my live shows
(cause you’re a great writer…) as a metaphor of
God’s love being great!, God being the first to say,
“you belong with me,” and have said that too many
sad love songs can cause a girl like me to mad at
her guy – even though I’m single, ha But even
though we have many differences and haven’t
crossed paths I felt compelled to write this to you.
Even if you never see it! It may hit the heart of a girl
facing 6th grade whose heart is heavy because her
home is broken. It may reach the email inbox of the
college student tempted to drop out because he
feels like everything he’s fighting – he’s fighting
alone. A wife may stumble across this post minutes
before she goes to another church service
pretending like everything is okay.
I dunno who’s gonna read this.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve debated writing
this!**
But I can tell you this.
To anyone feeling hurt or frustrated or confused or
upset or alone or “simply” annoyed by the struggles
we face in this life – you’re not alone.
We all have to put on a game face and it’s not close
to fair but know that you’re never alone. Someone
out there has a game face as strong as yours and
when we can open up and be real with each other…
when we can love on each other and welcome each
other into our lives… when we can hold each other
when we’re crying, those game faces will start to
fade and our realness will start to change each
other’s lives.
Taylor, I’ve heard people say that I’m like “the
Christian Taylor Swift.” Despite the fact that we
(obviously) look alike… I think it’s because we write
about the reality that is our lives. The heartbreaks,
the love stories, the friend stuff, the life stuff… the
real stuff.
When we are real and honest and open, that’s when
lives are changed and though your heart may be
heavy Taylor, by a simple Tumblr post today, you
continued to reach the hearts of many.
Because I’m a Christian and am in the public eye,
people typically ask me, “What’s your favorite bible
verse?” I love in Psalms where it says, “Weeping
may endure for a nigh but joy comes in the
morning” so that’s usually what I say. However, I
found my favorite verse when I was 11 years old.
It was months after being diagnosed with Tourette
Syndrome. I heard Matthew 27:45 as it talks about
when Jesus is hanging on the cross. As Christians
we believe that Jesus was dying for our sins as a
sacrifice that God (His Father) made so that we
could live in Heaven when we die. We also believe
that Jesus is perfect and without flaw. As He is on
the cross, however, He experiences a moment of
question as He asks His Father, “My God, My God,
why have You forsaken Me?” #
probablyaskingcauseacrucifixionisstraightupbrutal
That is my favorite verse.
Not because it’s somewhat haunting or even close
to depressing but because it’s real. The Man who I
believe to be the King of the World felt broken… in
His heart and His body and called out to God,
asking why He forsake Him.
In that moment He became relatable to the 6th
grade girl… the close-to-giving-up college student,
the overwhelmed wife and the 20-something year
old pop singer who just wants to go home with her
mom and make everything okay. He. felt. forsaken.
The only thing that has carried me through the last
12 years (my Tourette diagnosis, that journey and
now my mom’s health) has been my Faith (and the
community my family has found in the midst of our
fight). I am carried by the understanding that I am
not only loved by a King who died for me and rose
for me but – who understands me.
There is nothing greater in this life than to be
loved… and understood.
Taylor, I’m sorry.
I’m sorry there is no cure for cancer.
I’m sorry there is no cure for pudendal neuralgia.
I’m sorry life isn’t perfect.
I’m sorry we sometimes have to act like it is
perfect.
I’m sorry that sometimes as public figures when we
stop acting like life is perfect it makes it worse.
I’m sorry that life is hard.
I’m sorry if this “letter” is making it worse.
All I know… is that in some tiny way I felt obligated
to at least say some tiny something to you.
My family and I are praying for you and while we
believe it’s quite likely you have an incredible
support system, we want to extend our hearts and
family to yours at any time.
Much love,
Jamie Grace

I want to take this opportunity to congratulate
General Buhari on his being declared winner of the
Presidential elections.
President GOODLUCK Jonathan has shown
leadership by putting the interest of our country
first. His commitment to a credible, free and fair
election and ensuring a violence free post election
is commendable.
Today, whether you're PDP, APC, KOWA, APA or
ACPN - whatever your political affiliation - we can
all hold our heads high and be proud of our country
and budding democracy - which is definitely here to
stay.
As for the upcoming gubernatorial elections in
Lagos, our work doesn't end here. The peoples
clamour for change that has swept the nation
continues. Next week Saturday, it will be our turn.
But this will not come easy - by any stretch of the
imagination. Although I've always considered
myself as the underdog in this race, we know that
we have a pretty good chance if only we all put our
hands on deck and ensure that we see this through.
Lagosians, this is our moment, this is our time. Our
dream for a more inclusive, more transparent, more
progressive government is here if only we have the
courage to take it.
As for me, I'm all in. Are you?

barcanista:
It has now become a norm for a section of the Nairaland APC to abuse, libel and denigrate my humble self. Though such act is highly libellous and provocative, I will not be forced by whatever reasons to go on verbal exchange with anyone over that. I shall not be forced to act childishly neither will I denigrate myself and reputation to involve in exchanging words with anyone with respect to childish tantrums.

My defection to the PDP/GEJ camp has nothing to do with gratification or whatever, this I have said often times. The Presidential election have been won and lost. Though on the losing side, I have no reason to regret my defection. I congratulate the victorious APC Team on the enviable success at the poll.

I want to assure perpetrators of such inglorious act (and other form of cyber-bullying) that I shall not be wearied neither be silenced. I will not quit Nairaland any time soon. I shall be here to comment on issues and policies of the incoming administration of General Buhari. As a compatriot, I appeal to perpetrators to stop such act, but be more focus on the task ahead of delivering democratic dividends to Nigerians irrespective of political divide. I want to assume that being the (incoming) party in power, the NL APC supporters will show maturity, be democratic and lead the change they preach.

Once again, Congratulations to all Nairaland APC... May God spare our lives to witness the incoming government.

of a truth Barcanista was one of doze who made me
support Buhari and APC wen I was undecided. I still
don't why he left. He goofed big tym wen I read abt
his analysis on south west votes and dat it would
be similar to 2011 election result.I was wondering
hw d once intelligent and superb analyst has nw
turned himself to a mediocre cos of little egunje. Try
and stand and stay strong for wot u believed in and
work passionately for next tym

Gbawe:
As requested by Passingshot, this is my effort to create a Nairaland focal point to celebrate the win of GMB. We all fought hard, stood our ground, took the insults because our resolve to see good governance was unshakeable. I believe Buhari and Osinbajo will not disappoint Nigeria. APC supporters, help me drop your own congratulatory message.


[size=14pt]Big congratulation to team GMB/Osinbajo on Nairaland. We did it !!!!!!! [/size]

why I no quickly see diz thread??
anyway,we will keep on supporting APC and to ensure good governance at all level.we won't also fail to criticize d govt in any area they erred.
God bless APC
God bless GMB/PYO
God bless Nigeria

First of all there is NO messiah anywhere.

Even when you study the Gospels, you will notice on reflection that Jesus Christ was more of a catalyst for SELF-discovery of the God inside each one with capacity and ability to make as much progress as we are willing to sacrifice ourselves in order to reach.

End of mini-preaching

LOL....CRY ME A RIVER
