Urbansoulz Inspirations: Inspirational and Uplifting

Maybe I shouldn't, but I have an issue with how some people assume that because I no longer go to a traditional church, that I can't possibly be getting my spiritual food.

I happen to be in front of my computer every Sunday from 5:30-7:30 (central) for Urbansoulz Inspirations. It's a radio show that's hosted by The Messenger aka DJ Tan. Now he's not an ordained minister, but God gives word to many, not just to "professionals".

My mother is a minister and I recognize when someone is anointed and this man most definitely is. How do I know it's God? Every single week, within 2 days, I get the same message (sometimes word for word) that he gave, from a totally unrelated source. That, I learned a long time ago, is how you can tell when a word is of God.

Isaiah 55:11-New International Version (NIV)

11 so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.

That is the scripture that says so. Again, if a message is truly from God, you'll hear something later to verify it.

Urbansoulz Inspirations is a weekly show that can be found at www.urbansoulzradio.webs.com or http://www.spreaker.com/page#!/show/urban_soulz_radio

The lesson this week was on pride-it's not all about you!

Some of the scriptures highlighted:

Proverbs 22:4-New International Version (NIV)
4 Humility is the fear of the LORD; its wages are riches and honor and life.

Proverbs 8:13-New International Version (NIV)
13 To fear the LORD is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech.

1 Peter 5:5-New International Version (NIV)
5 In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to your elders. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because,
“God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.”[a]

Footnotes:1 Peter 5:5 Prov. 3:34

Mark 10:45-New International Version (NIV)
45 For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

We listen to music with a message and we even have a chatroom open during this time. Come join us! Again, it's www.urbansoulzradio.webs.com

What is a Listening Party?

A Listening Party is when Da Marshall spotlights one artist or group (sometimes two artists) for his Thursday radio show at 8pm EST.

There are several shows on his site during the week.

Friday nights, you can hear DJ Tan aka The Messenger at the Urbansoulz Friday Night House Party from 9-11 pm EST. He plays a variety of music, new and old school!

Saturday you can hear DJ's DiamondzzBling or Baby Bling at The DiamondzzBling & Baby Bling Show from 8-9pm EST, if we're blessed, we get to hear them both. You'll hear a great mix of music guaranteed to keep you dancing in front of the monitor!

Sunday it's The Messenger with Urbansoulz Inspirations. The Messenger always brings a word from God and the spirit is amongst us as he plays inspirational music from 6:30-8:30 EST.

Monday it's Neo Soulz Cafe smooth grooves of Neo Soul with DJ Izabella from 8-9 EST. Tune in to wind down from your hectic Monday.

Wednesday brings The Hump Day Happy Hour Sexy Chillout with DJ Jazzirella at 8pm EST. DJ Jazzirella somehow finds THE sexiest, most chill versions of your favorite songs.

During each show, the chat room is on FIYAH!! You never know how many will be there! It's always respectful and it's always fun!

There are impromptu shows as well as Morning Meditations with The Messenger from time to time as well as jazz podcasts with Northern Lights. You can relive each show at www.urbansoulzradio.webs.com

Urbansoulz

I know some of you who are connected to me on FB and Twitter have noticed that I've been promoting Urbansoulz.com and Urbansoulzradio.webs.com.

These are two places that I spent a lot of time at.

Yes, Urbansoulz is a social site, but it's not like any I've been on before. There are different groups that people participate in, but there are challenges weekly and people REALLY socialize there and it's truly more like family than a bunch of friends.

There's not a lot of spam or viruses floating around.

I admit that when I first got there, I didn't care for the site, but I found that changing the browser from Internet Explorer to Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox made all the difference in the world! Explorer just doesn't allow you the full Urbansoulz experience.

Did I tell you that there are members from all over the world on Urbansoulz? UK, Brazil, Philippines

Urbansoulzradio.webs.com


I challenge you to find a better, interactive radio show on the net!

There are radio shows on Sunday (I don't mean a lil church music and some clapping, I mean we have CHURCH!!!), Wednesday (Grown and sexy music that chills and heats up at the same time), Thursday (the focus is usually one artist and we have the chance to appreciate some of the music they've done), Friday (It's just an all out house party ya'll!) and Saturday (The DJ calls the show Gumbo, you never know what she's going to play, but it's always HOT!)

Each radio show is accompanied by a chat room. When I tell you we clown in that joker...it's not a place to come and hook up, it's a respectable place to have fun and let ya hair down!

Come by both sites. Membership is free!

Tell em Deedles sent you!

Thanks Blogger

I apologize that I haven't posted anything new...Blogger hasn't let me back into this account since that day.

You have to admit though, Mr. Perez is certainly a beautiful sight to be stuck on, huh?

I think so anyway...

I promise, I'll be back in a few days to attempt to entertain you.

In the meantime, check out the UrbanSoulz channel on Blogtalk radio tonight, where they will have a one on one with the one and only Leela James.

You can log in as a guest from anywhere around the world or you can call in (347) 945-6362 and listen from your phone. You don't have to talk unless you wish to.

Happy Birthday To My Innanet Boo!

We bonded over a post on Multiply. We compared survival stories. His touched me to the core of my soul.

He was the very first person I met personally, that was a victim of Hurricane Katrina.

He was very humble and gracious and thankful and he knew without a doubt that God had his back and that of his family and he's not afraid to say it.

I cried as he told of the water coming into his home and up each level until there was nothing left but roof.

I felt for him as he told of "things" that had been forever lost, but always remembered.

I rejoiced with him for the people he still has. He captured my heart before I ever knew what he looked like.

And then I saw his picture...





Good googley moogley! This man was FINE!!! Finer than frog hair, flea feces and all that stuff!

It was unreal. You know how they describe people as being just a real sweetheart, but they are a little hard on the eyes? Or when someone is so fine, but their personality leaves a LOT to be desired?

He is neither. I'm sure he has flaws, but he is a keeper. And I'm keeping him! I claimed him as my "Innanet Boo".

I don't care who he's with, I don't care who I'm with. There will have to be room for the two of us, LOL.

One day he told me of a website he dreamed of putting together where people of all colors could come and congregate in love and more importantly WITH NO DRAMA. I knew from our talks, he had the faith that would carry him through until his dream was a reality. I prayed for him and it was so.

He has always been the same, from the day I met him. Since that day, we've shared many thoughts and dreams. Shared stories about our families past and present. Welcomed new babies and again, he's always been the same.

That day you sent me a message on Multiply, you made a friend for life. One of these days...

Today however, I celebrate you!

Happy Birthday to Dante Perez, CEO of UrbanSoulz! I can't say it enough, I love you Dante!!
