Im in love with a Church Girl

 

Hey Everyone! I hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving! I had a wonderful one, today I decided to write about a movie called I am in Love with a Church Girl! It stars Adrienne Bailon Houghton and Ja Rule.

It is a wonderful movie. It starts off with a character named Miles Montego, who is a drug dealer and has a wonderful family.

He goes to a party that his friend Nick Holston is hosting. Nick was a former drug dealer and God saved his life from that lifestyle. At the gathering that is where he meets Vanesa Leon, and they talk a little while and get to know each other.

They start dating and become boyfriend and girlfriend. Vanesa is a strong Church going Christian. God is very important to her and her life. 

She doesn't know that Miles leads a different life than her and that he is a drug dealer.Yet, there was a detective following Miles and he is a christian detective his name is Jason McDaniels.

 Miles was doing illegal things on the inside. As he was dating Vanesa he put on a different persona because Vanesa was a very humble girl. Vanesa still doesn't know yet about Miles being a fugitive and drug dealer. The detective Jason that was following them was unsure whether  Miles was a fugitive or not.

Miles takes Vanesa to the club to meet some of his friends. And his friends started telling stories about his drug dealing and he tried to change the subject a couple of times. His friends kept going and he noticed that Vanesa was getting uncomfortable and not liking the stories.

 So he got up and pretended like he was going to buy his friends drinks. He told them quietly to tone it down because his girlfriends around.After the club they went out to a restaurant and ordered a couple of drinks and sat and talked.While they were talking that is when Miles tells Vanesa about his double life and what his line of work is. Vanesa is ok with him having a double life because she says God loves any and everybody.

 His love is growing stronger toward Vanesa because she didn't worry about his lifestyle.She told him that he would have to come to church with her if their relationship was going to work and stay strong like it has been.

Miles does go to church with her and he likes what he sees in the church. And what catches his eyes is Pastor Galley, he doesn't dress like a normal pastor and he wears jeans and a fitted cap. 

The pastor is the writer of the movie Galley Molina. Before going to church with Vanesa, Miles thought he would not fit into the christian world. Galley talks to Miles after the service is over and tells him it doesn't matter about your past,  God can use you to share the gospel as well. Eventually he started going to church regularly and started slowly becoming distant from his friends. 

Miles and Vanesa's relationship becomes a little strained later in the movie. His mom is dealing with some health issues and you will see that in the movie. 

The movie has a very happy ending for everyone. And Miles and Vanesa have a very happy and strong ending. It will put a smile on your face and make you feel warm inside.  

I decided to write about this movie because I am also a church girl and church is also very important to me. I have a wonderful church family, they are wonderful and amazing and most of them have known me since I was a baby and before I was born. 

My mom says that I was born in the church.The Pastor and First Lady of my church is absolutely fantastic, there hearts are really on fire for God. You can really feel God inside them and outside of them!

My church is Dayspring Ministries and it is located In Middletown Pa. Whenever you have a chance you should visit, I think you would love it! 

DaySpring is having a special christmas production on December 17th. It is called "Casting Call What Role do you play in the Greatest Story Ever Told?" Dayspring is very friendly, loving, and  caring.They will make you feel welcomed and right at home! 

One of my favorite things about Dayspring is the fellowship.  I love talking with everyone and giving them a big happy smile! And  something that brings a big smile to my face is seeing one of my favorite people in the whole world who is also my big sister! She brings a lot of joy to my heart.  I love her dearly she is my best friend there

The services starts at 10:00 am, and they have a very nice coffee stand and good food! Dayspring is a very easy church to find. They have their own Facebook page, you can just type in Dayspring Ministries in the search bar. I believe there is also a website, you can find it on youtube You just have to type in Dayspring Ministries and it will pop right up for you! There is a new thing going on at the Spring!

I also wrote this because I am a big fan of Adrienne Bailon Houghton. She is a big part of my childhood and  I loved watching her on Thats so Raven! 

She played the character Alana and she did an amazing job with that role. She really made her character that she was playing come to life! She also played the school principal on Raven's Home. She did an amazing job with that role too! And I also loved her in Cheetah Girls . Chanel was and always will be my favorite cheetah girl and character. 

I love the way she sings, she sounds like a beautiful Angel from Heaven! She did an outstanding job on the Masked Singer. She was a gorgeous flamingo and my favorite song she sang on the show was the song  "Never Enough."She put her whole heart and spirit in that song! Her and Isreal make a beautiful couple.I believe they bring out the best in one another and love each other very much.  They have a beautiful baby boy named Ever James, he is so adorable and has the most beautiful smile! 

You can tell how much Ever adores his mom and dad when you see the videos and pictures of them together.

He loves all of his family! And I had the pleasure of meeting the wonderful and amazing Adrienne in Maryland, at Bridgeway Community Church.  She and her husband Isreal were singing the Goodness of God! They did a beautiful Job on that song! 

You can really feel God's love pouring out of them and their hearts!  She did an amazing job with this role! I believe you will love this movie once you watch it. It will really pull at your Heart-Strings!

They have a thanksgiving dinner with their relatives and share with the family they are not going to adopt the family then says they knew it wouldn’t work out, that is when they officially decide to adopt the kids and become a family.

The kids move in with them and at first there is a lot of craziness as soon as they move in the house,  Lita will only eat potato chips, Juan is very emotional and fragile, Lizzie resents her foster parents for trying to parent them.

I can count on my family for anything, there always there for me and always there to support me and encourage me and love and also care for me. 

I stay in touch with a lot of my family members because they mean a lot to me and it’s always a joy to hear from them and to know how they are doing, this movie shows a lot of love and caring and shows how caring loving kind a family is.

 I have my family which I love and my church family who is also amazing and some of them have known me since a baby and always have been a part of my life, I have a big sister that I adore, and amazing friends. And a family that prays together stays together.

Whenever I’m visiting one of my family members before we depart we always pray together and tell each other we love each other and will see each other again soon! Family will always love you and be there for you whenever you need them.

I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to watch a good family movie.

Amazon.com: Cheaper by the Dozen : Steve Martin, Bonnie Hunt, Hilary Duff,  Piper Perabo, Tom Welling, Kevin G. Schmidt, Alyson Stoner, Jacob Smith,  Liliana Mumy, Morgan York, Forrest Landis, Blake Woodruff, Shawn

Hey Everyone! I have decided to write about one of my favorite movies Cheaper by the Dozen starring Steve Martin, Bonnie Hunt, Alyson Stoner, Hillary Duff, Tom Welling and Piper Perabo. 

It is a good family movie that will make you laugh, possibly cry it will give you happy and warm feelings inside while you are watching and it when its finished.  

The movie starts off with Tom he is a college football coach in Midland Indiana, where he and his wife Kate are raising twelve kids, thats a lot of kids isn't it? 

Kate is a book Writer/Author she has written her story in her book she is sending it to her friend hoping she can publish her book for her. 

One day Tom receives some exciting and surprising news he unexpectedly receives some news from  his old friend and football teammate Shake McGuire to coach at his Alma Mater at his hometown Evanston Illinois, Guess what?

 Tom accepts the offer and he wants his kids to vote on moving to Illinois, Tom lost the vote on the move, he has his whole family move to Evanston for a better home and space,while they are getting adjusted to the new are things at home are tense and the situation at their new school is even worse.

Kate's book is ready to be picked up for publication, Kate has to do a national book tour to promote her book so people can buy her book and read it.

Tom tells Kate that he can handle things in the house hold while she is away, Since Tom has received a new job he hasn't been home as much Kate has been the one at home while he has been away working at the football field with the football players.

 Kate tells him that he has to make sure the kids are ready for their first day at their new school and to make sure they are fed and everything,

Tom's way of handling everything with the kids and the house is he hires his oldest daughter Nora and her boyfriend Hank to manage the kids and everything in the house. 

Hank and Nora arrive at the house, The Kids like Nora they don't like Hank they make a prank on Hank and they soak his underwear in Meat they know their Dog Gunner loves meat, Gunner attacks his buttocks to get to the meat because of that situation Hank refuses to babysit Nora's siblings with her,they leave her parent's house and Tom lectures them about the incident with Hank.

Kate has departed for her book tour Tom realizes he cannot handle the kids all alone, after a crazy night that happened at their house Tom tries to hire a housekeeper to help him no-one wants to work with him because of the amount of kids he has he decides to bring his work home with him he brings the whole football team to his house.

While that seems to be going ok, the kids start getting into trouble at school and Charlie has been removed from the football team.

Kate's children call her and tell her about all the chaos that has been going on while she has been away once she hears everything she decides the book tour is over for her and she is going home.

 Kate's publisher for the book decides to create an additional promotion for the book she wants Oprah Winfrey to do a segment about the bakers in their home instead.  The rest of the movie is really good and heart-felt there is a couple dramatic scenes that happen in the movie and will possibly leave you on the edge of your seat when you watch it is a very happy ending and everyone is happy!

I decided to write about this movie because I love family movies, And I also have a big and loving family that really cares for me and loves me and encourages me and supports me, they are always there for me whenever I need them I love my family with my whole Heart! 

One of my favorite things about the movie is you see how much Love is in the family! One of my favorite Verses is love is patient, Love is Kind! 

These three remain Faith, Hope and love the greatest of these is love! And I have a very loving and caring family, I feel the love from all of them in deep in my Heart! 

For example, I have a cousin who means the world to me his name is Devin anyone who knows me knows how much I love him, I haven't talked with him in a while and I have been missing his voice, while I was walking my beloved boy Elijah I decided to call him and to my amazement I got to hear his voice and talk with him, it made my heart so happy because I had going through a lot recently and hearing his voice made me so happy, before he hang up he said he loved me! 

Always remember to say I love you whenever you can because life is short, and you always want to remember that the last thing you to said someone is I love you! Or something that expresses love because it will make you feel good knowing that you did that and that the person knows that you and love and care for them and that they mean a lot to you! I believe I have a very loving heart and I am very emotion driven which means when I Love I love hard! And I am very passionate about people closet to me and the things I put my energy into!

Another thing I Have to say about family is I have always wanted a big Sister ever since I can remember because Sisters always have fun together, and  have different moments and experiences together they can always remember and hold dear. 

Sisters are always there for you, and love you dearly! I also believe a good sister will help you get back on track when you are getting off the track a little and because they deeply love and care about you they will tell you the truth even when it hurts you know inside it is coming from a good place!  I think its better to have someone who loves and cares for you and will tell you hard truths to help you out because they want the best for you, and because they care about you deeply and the relationship they have with you! 

Rather than someone who acts like they care about you and pretend they want the best for you, and if something is bothering them in the friendship they have with you and never tell you what it is you assume everything is fine when really it is not, and they decide to stop talking to you one day and all communication with you, and you end up confused and hurt because you don't even know what happened. 

Where a real friend will tell you what the problem is and you guys can talk about the situation and move on from there and the relationship will become bigger and stronger because you talked out the situation together and working on the situation together! 

Like You will see how Hillary's Duff's Character Lorraine and Alyson's stones character Sarah interact they don't always get along, they get into little arguments here and there you will see they still care about each other and have each other's back and know they can depend on each other when they need each other.

 I know that I can depend on my big Sister Adrian to be there for me when I need her because she encourages me and loves and cares for me and is a very good friend and big sister!

I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to have a good laugh !

Akeelah and the bee


Amazon.com: Akeelah and the Bee (Widescreen Edition) : Keke Palmer,  Laurence Fishburne, Angela Bassett, Curtis Armstrong, Doug Atchison,  Laurence Fishburne, 2929 Productions LLC; Cinema Gypsy Productions, Inc.;  Out of the Blue Entertainment;

Hey everyone! I hope you all are doing well, and having a wonderful week! I have decided to write about Akeelah and the bee today.

It stars Keke Palmer Laurence fishbone  Angela Bassett and  a whole cast of amazing Actors and Actresses, It is also a wonderful Story, light-hearted relatable and a fun movie to watch with family or friends. 

The story starts out with Akeelah who is elven years old she is a spelling enthusiast attends Crenshaw Middle School, a predominately black school in south Los Angeles. 

She lives with her widowed mother who is named Tanya and her three older siblings Kiana, Devon and Terrance and her baby niece Makayla. 

One day her principal Mr. Welch suggests that she signs up for the Crenshaw School Wide spelling bee she initially says no, she is then threatened with detention if she doesn't go for the remainder of the semester because she has skipped school numerous times.  

She enters the spelling bee and wins. Dr.Joshua Larabee who is visiting and is an English professor watched the Crenshaw School Wide Spelling bee gave Akeelah challenging words after she just won the bee he decides she is good enough to enter the Scripps National Spelling Bee. 

Akeelah is looking for a coach he says no and declines her because he was rude to her when she came to his house and asked him to be her spelling coach, because of that Akeelah studies on her own to prepare for the district spelling bee during the bee she misspelled a word during the last round of the bee.

Thankfully she gets another to qualify for the regional bee after her sister Kiana catches one of the other finalists cheating,Akeelah meets and befriends another contestant who is in the bee his name is Javier Mendez a twelve year old Mexican-American Boy and fellow speller, he invites her to join the spelling club at his middle school in woodland hills while she is there she meets another contestant his name is Dylan Chui he won second place at the past two national spelling bees and is in his final year of eligibility.

 Akeelah misspells another word Dylan tells her she needs a coach. After the bee Javier invites Akeelah to a party while her mom Tonya is saddened by her brother Terrence's behavior, Akeelah's grades and frequent truancy, her husbands death at the hands of a mugger five years prior. Guess what? Her mom finds out about her spelling she doesn't allow Akeelah to go to the regional bee she makes her attend summer school for the classes she has missed.

 Akeelah does something to prevent this prohibition she forges her father's signature and secretly studies with Dr.Larabee . Akeelah is at another party with Javier and she is playing Scrabble Dylan is at the party too she was playing against him and won the game later during the party she hears Dylan's father berating him and yelling at him because he got beat by a girl.

It is now time for the bee her mom Tonya finds out her being there and interrupts her before she can spell her word. She chastises Akeelah for coming to the bee without her permission she relents after a talk with her spelling coach and her principal.

Javiar Stalls the judges so they can't remove Akeelah from the competition, Dylan, Javiar , Akeelah all advance to the Scripps National Spelling Bee. I don't want to give any spoilers away the rest of the movie is very powerful and uplifting it has a happy ending for everyone in the story. It has a few dramatic scenes and very moving scenes that will touch your heart and spirit the whole cast does an outstanding job in the movie. 

I decided to write about this movie today because it is very inspirational and very encouraging, Keke Palmer does an outstanding job in this movie, you really feel like she is the live character that she is playing in the movie.

Also seeing how she loves to spell and really excels, It makes me think of singing and how much I love to sing Like Akeelah  put her mind and heart into her spelling, I know that I can put my mind and heart into my singing and achieve my dreams like Akeelah achieved her dreams and became an amazing and excellent Speller. She also had a lot of encouraging family and friends in her life and corner and people who believed her and knew that she could excel and could do big and amazing things when she put her mind and her self into it.

My favorite Scene from the movie is where she is spelling a word and she spells some of the word at first and is having a little trouble remembering how to spell the rest she then remembers a technique she uses to help her remember how to spell tough words she jumps rope to get her mind jogging on the word, she lifts up her hands and pretends she has a jump rope and starts moving her hands in a jump position and then starts spelling the word the judges gave her and she gets it correct and everyone cheers for her and is so happy for her.

 I also like the part where her mom tells her she has 50,000 coaches to help her with studying her spelling words on the cards and preparing for the bee, I feel like I have 50,0000 coaches and people in my life too they are also there to help me and encourage me support me, and give me talks whenever I need one because they care about me. 

Keke Palmer is one of my favorite actresses, I love her personality and her singing voice, she is also an amazing actress I enjoy her movies in one of her movies her character is named Emerald that blew my mind I was like WOW! She is so caring and kind  and very sweet and a wonderful mother you can tell how much she loves her son Leo. 

 I really enjoyed her performance of Cinderella in New York City, She was an amazing and Beautiful Cinderella that was my first time seeing her in person and live I enjoyed the play so much! Sherri Shephard also did an amazing job playing the stepmother, she made me laugh a lot when she was acting in the play. The whole cast did an amazing job and gave an excellent performance I loved the finale of the play when everyone came out and Sang the Audience sang along they sang Impossible everyone was clapping along to the song when everyone was taking their bows and Keke was singing and dancing along to the song and waving to everyone that put a smile on my face , that is a night I will always remember!

I like Angela Bassett too, she is also a very strong Actress and portrays every character in the movies she is in with all her heart, you can feel the character come to life like when she played Queen Romanda in the Black Panther she did an outstanding job you really felt like she was the real queen of Wakanda.  She put her heart and soul into it, like she put her heart into the role of Tina Turner you felt all her passion and energy in the role of Tina throughout the whole movie.

She also did an outstanding job of playing Rosa Parks. I also liked her in Jump the Broom, she is in a lot of good and wonderful movies! She did  an amazing job with this role! 

Laurence Fishburne does an excellent job in the movie, he is an excellent coach and teacher you can see how much he cares about Akeelah and how he wants to see her succeed in life and see how strong she is and what an amazing speller she is. He is in a lot of movies too, His character Pops in Blackish makes me laugh a lot. He seemed to enjoy playing that character in the show. The Cast of Black-ish is a really good and strong Cast you can tell they all really care about each other and love each other. 

I recommend this movie to anyone who loves a good family movie!
