Back to basics

This morning I work up with an old song on my heart but I felt its something Yeshua was drawing me to do. The Lyrics for the song is

 

Come let us worship & bow down

Let us kneel before the Lord

Our God and Maker

 

For He is our Rock

And we are the people of His pasture

And the sheep of His hand

Just the sheep of his hand

 

Hmm as I type those words I feel I need to come back to that simplicity of just being in God’s hands and being his sheep that stick close to him. Hear his voice and feed from His pasture.

Tuesday Ramblings...

Wow I didn’t realize keeping a blog updated can be such a time consuming thing. I thought “Yea I love writing, I can do this” well not so my friends. Well things have been interesting for me these days. I’m still here in Belize slugging it through. Not that I’m planning on going anywhere lol… I am called to make and IMPACT in my homeland Belize… A positive Impact that is so I know Belize is where God has positioned me and I’m happy with that. I’m enjoying being the host at Perkup Café for the Open Mic Night every Thursday. Various artist and poets gather and share. Some nights are packed and other nights are empty… on the empty nites the seats get to enjoy MervStar music all night LOL. But a little family is starting to build there at Open Mic with the youths and I’m encouraged to see them step out. I only hope I can continue to be a light to them.

 

Hmm Let me see, BC Apartments, our apartment managing business is going through a rough season but that’s normal for business right. If we don’t have the lows, we don’t really appreciate the highs. But thank God all rooms are rented out. We gotta work on some managing stuff. Its really good working with people of all different walks of life. I can feel myself growing and maturing as I do. I must confess that I’m 26 going on 40s… LOL At least that’s how I feel at times when I relate with some people my age. I feel way older at times.

 

So I’ve decided to bring TAS under a mother company (Still trying to come up with a name) managed by Andy (best friend/brother & Partner) & myself. Our vision is to have one company with children business. TAS is in the beginning stage and like Andy reminded me today, You don’t plant a seed and digg it up everyday to see how its doing.

 

Wow I’m writing more than I thought but I guess that’s good. So my blog might start to take on a new face and direction… I’ll write more journalistic I guess. Thanks world for listening to my ramblings and if you ever want to contact me, feel free.

Partner with me as I seek to bring light into dark places

Hi Everyone

As the subject says, I’d like to ask you to partner with me by voting for my song “Jump 4 Belize.” I entered a song “Jump 4 Belize” in the September Carnival Competition and my song was selected as one of the top 7. The directors of the competition are asking the public to vote for the song they like the most. The winning song will be played throughout the carnival season on radio stations etc. I’m asking for your vote and together we can see a song with a positive message with a heart for true right celebration, circulate on the radio waves.

 

How to Vote?

1. Go to http://www.septembercelebrations.com/song_competition_carnival09.php
2. In the section that says “ Vote for your favorite carnival song” choose “Jump 4 Belize – Mervin Budram”
3. Click on Vote at the bottom
4. You can vote once a day it seems

 

How to Listen to the song?

1. On the September Celebration site. – some days it doesn’t work though
2. I placed the song Jump for Belize on http://www.myspace.com/esrecord
3. I can email it to you if none of those work

 

I reluctantly entered this competition and felt insecure about it but finally did last minute. Looking back now I’m glad I entered because as I listen to the other songs that were entered, I realized the song I submitted brought a message of light, and truth to Belize. As a Kid September celebration was fun, all about the energy of bands celebrating Belize as a good country. It has now become a raw party & carousing time. HOWEVER, this can change and music is a powerful tool to help see that change come about. I’d like to thank all those who’s voted for me already and those who are supporting and praying for me… I’m in new territory and needs God’s wisdom and Grace more than ever.

 

Merv
