Chonda Pierce



Last night I went to see Chonda Pierce with my great friend, Jill. Chonda is a talented Christian comedian who sings and plays the piano as well. She was very uplifting and a blessing to my soul. I love when Christians aren't afraid to open up and spill out their shortcomings for all to see and be inspired by. I appreciated Chonda's candidness about her life and I walked away a better person because of her relationship with the Lord. Her message was funny, sad, shocking, powerful, and heartfelt to say the least. If only we were all comfortable enough to bare our souls to each other the way that she did. If you don't have an accountability partner that you can talk to and hash out what is going on in your life, both happy and not so happy, you should find one. Find a person you can trust with your pain and joy. Even in a day of where everyone seems to talk behind peoples' backs and cast judgement, there is a special friend out there for each of us. Thank you to my dear friends who are that person to me. Who I can trust with my SELF and they still love me and want to be my friend :)

P.S. While you are visiting, check out the song Shackles by Mary Mary on my Playlist below. Chonda sang it last night and the first thing I wanted to do was add it to my blog music...GREAT SONG!!!!

Hi Kathy, It was so good to see you and Jill. You are so right about having a friend who will take the good and the bad. Often we have to humble ourselves to be honest. God has given me a good friend that I can do that with. I love all your pictures! I am looking forward to reading more.
